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...

10 Faulty Assumptions Younger People Have About Older People

To be honest, older people are more concerned about this problem than younger people, mainly because the negative attitudes that the younger generation display toward them have adverse consequences for the older generation. Let’s look at this topic in a little more detail. Faulty Assumptions Younger People Have About Older People Older people are out of touch with current technology and trends.

It Takes a ‘Supercomputer’ to Get This Snack Just Right

When is The Last Time You Ate a Hyperbolic Paraboloid Snack Your average, unsullied Pringle is a hyperbolic paraboloid; its equation is (x²)/(a²) — (y²)/(b²) = z/c. Here’s where things get interesting, though (as if hyperbolic paraboloids weren’t interesting enough). Proctor & Gamble doesn’t just shove a bunch of Pringles in a can and call it a day. Rather, they use supercomputers to keep conditions just right to make sure the chips make it from their factory to your house unmolested. ~ Source I hope you found that as interesting as I did. Life is just full of technology-enhanced bits of fun. Don’t you just wish you could get into the head of the person who dreamed this up? Their problem-solving skills are superior to mine. What problems you may ask? How to get a lot of chips into a small cylinder, is one. Since they stack tightly together, space is efficiently utilized. How to keep chips from breaking and crumbling in the package? Since they stack tight, one on top of the other i...
