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.

Start a Love Affair With Street Food

On my bucket list is a world tour for the sole purpose of sampling as many kinds of street foods as possible. What is Street Food Street food is ready-to-eat food or drinks sold by a hawker, or vendor, in a street or other public place, such as at a market or fair. They often sell it from a portable food booth, food cart, or food truck and is meant for immediate consumption. Wikipedia Street Food Heritage Throughout time, there has always been a vendor selling ready-made bread, cheeses, desserts, and other culinary delights. However, in more recent times, street food vendors have often come from immigrant cultures looking for a means of income or the love of sharing their native cuisine. Then, fast-food chains populated the streets and independent street food vendors became harder to find, especially where I live in the US. However, in other parts of the world, street food is common and easily found. What draws me and others to the street food experience? Adventure — who doesn’t l...

Are You a Door Slammer - What Does it Accomplish

Purrrrr..."Who asked that stupid question?" I think most of us at some time in our lives have slammed a door out of frustration or anger. I know I'm guilty. It's not something I do now, and I'm not sure why I've done it in the past, except that it was a way to make sure that those around me knew I was upset. But thinking back on the action, it was really a reaction to my own uncontrolled emotions. And to address the question as to what it accomplished, it would be easier to tell you what it DIDN'T accomplish. It didn't make those around me care more about my feelings. It didn't improve the situation at hand. It didn't make me a better person. It didn't get me what I wanted. It didn't show how mature I was or thought I was. It didn't punish anyone but myself. It didn't make me feel like I had won anything of va...
