I decided to make a batch of cornbread the other week. I had a bag of Indian Head old fashion stone ground yellow cornmeal in my pantry. The recipe for cornbread was conveniently posted on the back of the packaging. I looked through the ingredients: yellow corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, shortening, milk, and egg. I realized I didn’t have any shortening, milk, or eggs. I decided to make a few substitutes in the ingredients and make a dairy-free, egg-free cornbread.

I made these delicious savory crêpes for brunch the other week when I was home visiting my mom. The crêpe batter is made with whole wheat flour, contains no eggs and no dairy. For these savory crêpes, I made a light and simple filling with sauteed sweet peppers tossed with cherry tomatoes, super sprouts mix, and some crushed almonds.These crêpes were very light and refreshing.
