Here where I live we get pretty extremes in temperature. Really hot summers, very cold winters, and everything in between. In the depths of winter when I am scraping ice off of my car’s windshield I always curse Utah for having such harsh winters but the truth is that if I ever moved away, I’d miss it because I love having four seasons. I love having four mini-wardrobes, but even more than that, I adore the seasonal change in foods and Fall flavors just might be my favorite, especially when involving breakfast.
For me breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. I am busy busy busy and I need to hit the ground running when I get up in the morning so a good, hearty and delicious breakfast sets the tone for the rest of my day. When my breakfast includes Fall flavors like butternut squash, pears, goat cheese, and cranberry, paired with an 8-ounce glass of milk, I know it’s going to be an awesome day. I used to struggle with fitting breakfast into my morning routine – I am not a morning person and I am definitely a snoozer so I just don’t have a lot of extra time to devote in the AM to cooking, particularly on weekdays. The great thing about these butternut squash and pear crepes is that you can prep the components in advance and assemble the crepes in the morning. Just prepare the crepes, the filling, and the sauce separately, and keep them in the fridge overnight. In the morning just heat them up and assemble your breakfast in a matter of minutes.
Pairing a glass of milk, with its high-quality protein, with your breakfast is an easy, delicious way to get more milk into your diet and since all varieties of milk are safe, wholesome, and naturally nutrient-rich, milk at breakfast is a choice you can feel good about for yourself and your family. If you are a Fall-flavor-lover, you need these butternut squash and pear crepes in your life. A little sweet, and little savory, a little tart, and a LOT delicious!
