Ukrainian Breakfast

Most mornings I forgo breakfast (it's hard to sustain an appetite after spending an hour on your hands and knees chasing a blind rat who can't see her food). This morning? I was totally ready to make us a batch of (gluten-free) nalysnyky (Ukrainian crepes).

A half hour ago we enjoyed homemade crepes with plain and chocolate-flavored whipped cream, sour cream, maple pecan coffee and forest fruit pyrohy (Ukrainian pierogies). I'm SO hardcore Ukie that I actually wrapped my pyrohy INSIDE my nalysnyky and covered the delicious abomination with fresh sour cream.

(How's THAT for extreme?)
