Photo Class

Ok gals this is not a food post but a plug for Nicoles photo classes. I just finished the online Photoshop class and it was fantastic. Definitely going to sign up for another one. Thinking I might need the tabletop photo class so the food pictures look better - You won't regret it. http://nicolesclasse.blogspot.com

Crepes

I’ve made these Our Best Bites crepes a few times and crepes were a staple in my household growing up! I love them so much! So I decided to make them again (they are surprisingly an easy week night meal). I heart breakfast for any meal. These are sweet crepes (like if you munch on one by itself its mucho sweeto) but if you omit the 3 table spoons of sugar then you can make SAVORY ones!!!! I will be doing this soon. I am thinking chickeny and cheesey. Also, Our Best Bites ladies recommend eating these hot off the pan with butter and maple syrup…Yes please!

Okay well here it goes. First you combine all the ingredients in a blender and whip it up on low (easy) Then you heat the pan to a low-medium heat (the recipe calls for medium-high…in my opinion this was way too high and was making my crepes get too crispy). Then the hardish part where you pour and twirl. You know how we call first borns throw away pancakes…well when you first make crepes there are a lot of throw away crepes. It’s an art I have not perfected, but they are delicious even if they are a little wonky (thank you Otis). Once they are cooked on both sides I like to stack them using wax paper to separate each one (they save in the fridge amazingly this way). Then the amazing part…slather some nutella on then drop some sliced bananas and strawberries, rolled up and pour on some of Our Best Bites Strawberry Sauce.

Awesome part of tonight was I had the Strawberry Sauce in the freezer (freezes for three months) from a past meal. Now this is me multitasking because my sweet guy prefers that I stand while I eat. Also, Jillian as you can see I was definitely a baby and did nothing different with my hair. The end.
