It’s Valentine’s Day…which means Chocolate and Strawberries and Nutella and more Chocolate and Peanut Butter and Pasta of all shapes and sizes — in my house any way. Show love with food.

But that creamy macerated strawberry filling — made with a splash of Cointreau for an added touch of romance made these easy to make crepes that much EXTRA special. I love the hint of Vanilla in these Crepes. Of course, you have to add the liqueur to soak into the strawberries, because it really just takes them to a whole other place of Romeo and Juliet with a happy ending. (Just kidding.

Mostly adaptions of the Best French Toasts, and Fluffy Pancakes have been coming out of my kitchen to yours.
