Breakfast or dessert? You decide. Either way, you can have yourself a delicious Easy, No-Bake Banana Nut Crepes with Dulce de Leche sauce within minutes!
I’ve been a little M.I.A. this week mainly because I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather.
As soon as I returned from vacay there was so much catching up to do. Plus, I offered to pet-sit my grandparents’ furbaby, Penelope, while they continued to “party it up” in Ecuador. Because of this, my schedule has now revolved around her but don’t get me wrong, I love dogs! I even once threw a dog party and Penelope was one of the guests. You can see more on how to throw a dog party here.
Penelope is older than my two babies requiring a wee bit more attention thus, more walks during the day with a close eye every time she eats. My own two dogs are much younger and will not hesitate for a second when I turn my back. They’ll snatch her food in a heartbeat! You can see a couple of pictures of Penelope’s cute self here below or on Instagram.
But with all that (which honestly doesn’t sound like much), I was sick with a cold. And all I could think about was how completely miserable I was that I couldn’t work out especially since I was off the past 2 weeks during my vacation.
On a brighter note, I’m glad I had a back up recipe ready for you today. One thing I’ve learned about blogging is this: always have back up posts ready! This way if something happens, you can quickly pull one up.
In any case, do you agree, dulce de leche with bananas are a perfect match? I seem to think so! So does bananas and walnuts. I go crazy over banana nut treats so topping these crepes with dulce de leche seemed pretty normal.
Only thing you have to decide is whether to eat this as breakfast or dessert? Or both?!
