Healthy Fact of the Day

While crepes are a treat, the berry compote provides antioxidants and vitamin C. You can make them healthier by using whole wheat flour and reducing sugar in the compote.

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
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Butter for cooking

 

For the Berry Compote:

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

 

For Serving:

  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar
  • Fresh mint leaves

 

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.

  6. Cook for about 2 minutes until the bottom is lightly golden.

  7. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute.
    Repeat with remaining batter.

  8. To serve, fold crepes into quarters and top with berry compote.

  9. Garnish with whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh mint leaves.

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!

Cheesy Smashed Potatoes

Baby potatoes are naturally rich in potassium, vitamin C, and fiber, and the boil-then-roast method uses significantly less oil than deep frying while still achieving a genuinely crispy exterior.

The summer drinks described in this article — infused water, cold brew tea, homemade lemonade with controlled sweetness, shrubs, agua frescas — provide the sensory satisfaction and the cooling pleasure of summer drinking with a fraction of the added sugar and none of the artificial ingredients of their commercial alternatives.
