I decided to adapt my Paleo crepe recipe to make a savory crepe that could be used in place of a tortilla for breakfast wraps. Instead of a fruit filling, I made a kind-of Paleo BLT wrap, plus avocado and with spinach instead of lettuce.

Ingredients (Makes about five large "tortillas"):

• Ten eggs
• Six tablespoons almond flour
• Three tablespoons arrowroot powder
• One teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Filling: Bacon, lettuce or spinach, tomato, mayo

Instructions: 

1. Heat a large pan on the stove and whisk eggs in a bowl. Add remaining crepe ingredients.
2. Spread coconut oil or butter around the pan and add a couple spoonfuls of crepe batter. Spread batter around and let cook.
3. Flip the crepe (this should be really easy to do) and let cook on the other side (about a minute). 
4. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
5. Once you've made your crepes, fill with lettuce, tomato, bacon, or whatever it is you feel like having in your wrap.
6. Wrap it up like a burrito and enjoy! If you have leftover tortillas you can refrigerate them for later.

You don't even have to limit yourself to breakfast--I'm looking forward to making buffalo chicken wraps for dinner one night or some ham and goat cheese wraps for lunch--you can fill them with anything you want and wrap 'em right up. I also love to keep them really simple with turkey, lettuce, tomato, and some mayo.

I hope you love these! They're my favorite thing. What kind of wraps will you make?

Note: This recipe was originally published in October of 2013 but I'm re-posting it today with new photos and some other edits. The formatting of the comments from last year are a little wonky because they were posted before I switched to Squarespace--I now respond to all comments in the thread. Thanks for reading! 

Can you share some tips for taking your Instagram photos? 

Sure! While I'm always trying to improve my Instagram game, I think I've learned a thing or two over the years:

1. Wipe off your phone's camera before you take any pictures. Sometimes my shots end up super blurry and I can't figure it out, and then I wipe off the back of my phone and suddenly everything is clear again. Rocket science, people.
2. Lighting is key. Make sure you aren't trying to shoot a photo into the light, or it's going to end up really dark.
3. I use VSCO Cam to edit my photos--and I like to stick to the same three or four filters so my Instagram feed looks consistent as a whole.
4. Sometimes I'll take a picture that I really want to share, but it isn't "good enough," i.e. it's too dark, too grainy, kind of blurry, etc. Over the last year I've decided to mostly not share those photos, but that's up to you. Sometimes you sacrifice likes or lose followers for posting photos that aren't perfect. Sometimes that's worth it. Depending on what you use the platform for, sometimes it's not. Instagram is weird. But it should be fun, so remember that.

When exploring a new city, what are three places you always check out (i.e. parks, the local diner, historical landmarks/monuments, etc.)? How do you find them?

As many of you guys have noticed, my favorite way to explore a new city is by walking around a lot and eating all day long. I'll ask for recommendations from people who live in the area, but in general I always want to find a great local coffee shop, a cool place for brunch, and a restaurant that serves amazing dinner. Rob is really good at finding cool places, happy hours, etc; so that makes exploring a lot easier.

When we were in San Francisco last month, we looked up a few places, but found the majority of the things we did by simply strolling by. It helps to have friends in the area, though!

What are your biggest fears/anxieties and how do you cope with them? 

Oh, you mean other than everything? I've been a pretty anxious person for most of my life, so chances are I've managed to be afraid of almost everything: death, illness, the ocean, outer space, going to the dentist.

I've gotten much less irrational over the last year, which I'm proud of, but I guess I would have to say that my biggest daily fear or anxiety is that I'm not doing enough with my life; and that can regularly manifest itself in weird and different ways. Coping with it is often easier said than done--I just do my best and try to remember to give myself a break when I fail (which happens a lot).

Did getting married change your life a lot? Does it feel different than dating did?

While planning our wedding, there were multiple times when all the little details seemed kind of stupid--we had been together for almost five years and I kind of already felt married. Even after our wedding ceremony, I didn't feel some magical transformation or anything, I just felt happy to have vowed to love Rob forever and that all of our friends and family were there.

It really wasn't until our honeymoon and after that I realized something had changed--and now, over a year later, I'm slowly starting to realize that "feeling married" is something that will grow with us every day. It's the commitment and the work that goes beyond the flowers and the dress and the champagne toasts. And yeah, it feels different. But better.
