Crepes, oh I'm going there

Well, I guess I've found another breakfast that I'm liking. See, when you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything. (or however that saying goes...)

I've always liked crepes. Really, I have. But I usually like them for dinner and I like to put things like eggs, or meats and cheeses etc in them. However, this morning when I was going through my wake up ritual of checking emails, Facebook etc, I found this recipe, and they gave me the great idea of yogurt as the "cream", and fresh fruit as the filling. I have tons of peaches left to can tomorrow, and bananas that are turning. The light went on!

These babies turned out great!!! You could taste the vanilla in them so it gave a sweet flavor without adding sugar to my fruit.

First thing though, get it through your mind that crepes are not hard to cook. Really! Stop rolling your eyes! Use a non stick pan, and add a tad bit of cooking spray (I use an olive oil pump so I don't add all those extra chemicals to my food) then pour a small amount in the middle of that already hot non stick pan. Swirl it around so it makes a circle and then just let it cook. You'll know when its getting done when the edges start pulling away from the pan. then using a silicone spatula, just flip! cook till it has color then its done...now just do that about 20 more times. I'm not going to lie, once you get to the bottom of the batter, you'll be praying there is no more batter left!

I got this recipe from Super Healthy Kids. For the most part I've been happy with what recipes I've tried from this group of fine folks. Without further ado:

Whole Wheat Crepes

3 Eggs
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1 T honey
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
1 T butter

Put all ingredients in blender (I use my blendtec) and mix well. Let stand for 10 min, then blend again.

Spray a small non stick pan with cooking spray.

Angle pan and pour enough batter on one side to thinly and evenly cover the pan. Very quickly swirl the batter around to cover the pan in one thin layer.

Once the crepe is golden brown on one side, carefully flip it over without tearing the crepe.

Cook another minute on the other side until it is golden.

Serve with yogurt and berries, strawberries or a savory chicken filling.

Thats all there is to it! During the 10 min of waiting, I cut up my peaches and bananas. The kids didn't give me any guff about eating today. My oldest is always scared to try things she hasn't but after she tried a bite, she kept saying, "this is soo good!"

much love,
