(Inside: I wanted to prove to my husband that easy Harry Potter recipes could be made for breakfast too. Result: Vegan Butterbeer Crepes. I win.)
I told my husband the other morning that I wanted to try having Harry Potter Wizarding World food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
He laughed at me.
See, I’ve primarily only ever made these easy Harry Potter desserts for our family to enjoy.
I’ve never tried my hand at other meals–hence the statement to the hubs.
And he laughed.
Jerk. LOL!
I proved his happy self wrong this morning by making a big batch of Vegan Butterbeer Crepes for the whole family to enjoy.
I win.
It’s not always about winning.
But when you make Vegan Butterbeer Crepes and they taste as amaaaaaazing as these, well, you can’t help but do a little happy-dance as you serve your slightly smirking spouse.
Fair enough, right?!
I mean, we were all winning, after all, because such a burst of flavor…well, that’s a win on it’s own, even if it’s not related to a snide comment.
If you’re on your own quest to prove that breakfast can be made Harry Potter style, be sure to pin these Vegan Butterbeer Crepes so you can come back to them when you’re ready to throw-down. Heh.
