Crepes with Raspberry-Cassis Sauce

 

I’m having a bit of a pity party about being alone on New Year’s Eve, so I decided to cook today.

Several days ago I discovered this Martha Rose Shulman recipe on the New York Times site. One of my indulgences in life is to subscribe to the NY Times. It is pricey but the writing soars and the food section is wonderful. I don’t know of another newspaper with that dedication to its food section.

This recipe combines warm crepes with a lime zest-infused Greek yogurt filling and sauces the whole thing with a fresh raspberry sauce. What’s not to love here?

A link to the original NY Times/Martha Rose Shulman recipe appears at the end of this post.
