Ingredients

 

For the Crepes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine flour, eggs, milk, water, melted butter, salt, and vanilla. Blend until smooth. Refrigerate batter for 30 minutes.

  2. For the compote, combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool.

  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  4. Lightly butter the surface.

  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the skillet, tilting to spread evenly.

    Repeat with remaining batter.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

The Fermentation Project: What Happens When You Let Time Do the Work

Lacto-fermented vegetables are among the most researched functional foods in contemporary nutrition science. The lactic acid bacteria produced during fermentation — including Lactobacillus and Leuconostoc species — are among the best-studied probiotic organisms, with documented effects on gut microbiome diversity, immune function, and inflammatory markers. The fermentation process also increases the bioavailability of certain minerals in vegetables by reducing phytic acid content, and produces B vitamins as metabolic byproducts. Research published in Cell in 2021 found that a diet high in fermented foods produced greater increases in microbiome diversity and greater reductions in inflammatory markers than a high-fiber diet over a ten-week period — making the jar of homemade sauerkraut one of the more evidence-supported nutritional investments available in any kitchen.

The slaw mix provides fiber and vitamins C and K, and using ranch dressing in modest amounts means you get the creamy, cooling contrast without excess.
