Chickpea Crêpe with Artichoke & Mushroom
Hello 2013!! A new day, a new Year, new beginnings, new opportunities… ahhhh…. don’t you love that!!
Today was a lazy blogging day for me (ok, I helped a little as hubby worked on our new kitchen cabinets – woot woot!!). He is most definitely a gem!!
Here’s a preview of each Day so far.
So before he got started, I decided to make one of the recipes from Crazy Sexy Kitchen by Kris Carr & Chad Sarno – oh my how I love that book and all of Kris Carr & Chad Sarno’s creations!! They are definitely a dynamic duo!! If you haven’t heard of her book, check my Kris Carr Madness post for more insight.
Ratatouille
So we started the day with Chickpea Crêpe with Artichoke & Mushroom. I’ve made this recipe a few times and it is without a doubt my favourite for breakfast/brunch, it’s hearty, incredibly flavourful and very versatile – you can use whatever veggies you have on hand. Oh and the Artichoke Aioli, oh-my-gawd I so love it – it would also be awesome used as a base when making a wrap – it is oh-so-yummy!!! Ok but we’ve never had any leftover so I haven’t been able to try it with a wrap 
Spinach Salad w/cherry tomatoes & avocado
For lunch, a late lunch that is – we enjoyed a wee bit of left over Ratatouille. I made a few wraps for my hard working hubby lined with romaine and filled with Ratatouille, he loved them!! I enjoyed a small bowl as I wasn’t that hungry after the Chickpea Crepes. I must say, the Ratatouille is even better the next day.
For dinner I enjoyed a quickie spinach salad with cherry tomatoes, avocado, a sprinkle of olive oil and lots of fresh ground pepper. One of my fav’s!!
That’s it for Day 7…I’m feeling great! How can you not with such clean plant based whole foods eating!!
Here are insights into Day 8!
Hi Catherine !

Have a wonderful day !
Didie
Oups sorry !
I thought it was a link for the recipe but it was not, and it’s normal !
Sorry !
Hi Didie,
The recipe isn’t mine it belongs to Kris Carr, so I haven’t included the recipe on my website – instead I have a link to my review of her book and recipes which give you the link to get the recipe – that said here’s an easy link to get you there directly:
http://kriscarr.com/resources/
Go to this link, scroll to the bottom of the page and where is says “Wanna take a tour of Crazy Sexy Kitchen?” (2nd last entry) enter your name/email and they will email you a “Sneak Peak” of some of the recipes from her new book Crazy Sexy Kitchen. The recipe for the Chickpea Crepes is in this Sneak Peak document. I hope that helps (I’ll update my site so it’s a little clearer
).
Merci beaucoup xox
do you use baby spinach or spinach? I heard that baby spinach does not have the nutritional value that reg spinach has. Do you have any insight on that? I love baby spinach in salads! I love your site and I have tried numerous recipes…thanks for sharing!
Hi Laurie – I pretty much always use baby spinach. I’ve never heard that there are nutritional differences between the two. I figure all greens are very nutritious, so just use what you love and mix it up every now and then to get some diversity!!
Thanks for such positive feedback
I’m so glad you like things… look forward to more chatting! xox
