Recipe - Crepes at Every Meal and In Between

 


This has got to be one of the easiest meal-planning solutions ever! So how does a Texas Lady put these crepes to good use in her kitchen? Well, take a seat because I'm about to tell you.

Basic Crepe Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
½ cup milk
½ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. 

Lynda's Kitchen:

When I strap on my apron and get serious about making crepes, I make a ton of them at one time. That way I have plenty to freeze to use later. 

I use them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals as well as snacks. Let me give you a few ways I do that.

Breakfast: I put a hard-fried egg, two pieces of bacon, a slice of sandwich cheese, and a whole green onion inside, and then I roll it up. It's sit-down good or good on the go.

Lunch: I make a simple salad with spinach and arugula greens, chopped boiled egg, and bacon bits. I toss that in a smidgeon of raspberry vinaigrette and roll it up in the crepe. The perfect salad sandwich.

Supper: I roll up some shredded chicken in the crepes. Then I make a 'chicken-a-la-king' type sauce to serve over the top. Add some chopped boiled eggs and green onions on top and you're ready to enjoy!

Snack: Spread a layer of peanut butter and a thinly sliced banana and roll. Super snack!

Dessert: I spoon vanilla ice cream inside and roll. Then I freeze them. When I serve it I will top it with warm chocolate sauce and sprinkle nuts on top. YUMMY!

Crepes are wonderful for recycling leftovers. I can roll up just about anything and top it with an appropriate gravy or sauce and it's a whole new dish. That's when those extra crepes in the freezer come in handy.

How I Design a Slow Stitch Fiber Art Project

Step one is to sketch a rough draft of the design you want to create for slow stitching.  Step two is to cut and place fabric and fibers where you want them in your design.  Step 3 is to start layering up individual areas of the design until you achieve the look you want. The next step is to remove each piece as you want to sew it onto your background fabric, leaving the designed piece intact until you're ready to sew them.  If the piece is very intricate, take a photo before starting to sew just in case you need to refer to it later. This is the method I use when designing my slow-stitch pieces. It's easy and works beautifully. This method leaves plenty of room for adding or modifying the design as you go along. Consider it a draft that you can embellish or improve as you work.

WELCOME to Mixing it Up with Lynda

  Do you like to chat about everything? Do you like to create something from nothing? Do you like listening to others? Do you love life? Do you get excited over new things, people, and places? If those things apply to you, then you are definitely my soulmate. Let's chat, exchange ideas, and inspire. Sometimes, just keeping on keeping on in these troubled times can be an overwhelming prospect. But it's always easier with a companion.  Note on Photo: Like the photo above, life can be beautiful even when it's created by mixing up lots and lots of raggy bits and pieces. I created this piece of wall art from bits of fabric that most people would throw away. So don't be quick to discard what might seem like useless bits of your life. Try sticking them together and see what you come up with...
