disclaimer


As I was cleaning up my mess this morning after making my favorite sweet butter waffles , I listened to my husband telling me what a great cook he thinks I am {blush}.

I am not half bad.
I can follow a recipe.
I can figure out substitutions.
I can double or cut in half accordingly.
I, however, am not a chef.
I do not come up with exotic creative concoctions.
I cook what my family will eat.

As the kids have gotten older, we eat less macaroni & cheese and more foods adults enjoy. Teenagers will even eat sushi voluntarily. Imagine!

Figuring I don't have enough to do I started another blog to devote just to food pictures, recipes and experiments, of which there probably won't be many.

Sit back, share & enjoy!

Crepes



Crepes

1 1/2 C milk
1 C flour
2 eggs
2 egg whites
1Tbs + 1tsp veg. oil
1/2 tsp salt

Combine all wet ingredients in a blender, mix well.  Add flour and mix again.  Let sit for a minute or two.  Pre heat a small non-stick skillet on medium high heat.  I like to wipe mine down with a paper towel with just a tiny bit of oil before I start.  Pour crepe batter into pan tipping and tilting to cover just the bottom of the pan in a thin layer of batter.  Cook until top begins to look somewhat dry with some air bubbles - maybe a minute or two.  Using a very flexible rubber spatula work around edge and flip.  Cook for another minute.  Crepe should be a very lightly browned.  Really beige...

Eat immediately while hot & fresh!  Fill with sweetened cream cheese, fruit, warmed jam or jelly for breakfast and brunch and top with powdered sugar or whip cream.  Or fill with cheese, chicken etc. for lunch or dinner and top with a hollandaise or cream sauce.

*makes about 12....I usually double this and will have a little left over
