I make crepes in the morning and can find many uses for them throughout the day of meals and snacks.  Can always mix the batter the night before and have it ready to cook in the morning.

In a blender or magic bullet:

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup flour
• 3 tbsp melted butter

Blend. Consistency should be like cream.

Add more flour or milk to get the right consistency if needed.

In a small non-stick pan, melt some butter and pour about 2 tbsps of the batter, swirl around to  spread into a circle.  Flip when firm on bottom.  Cook both sides over medium-low heat. Repeat until all batter is used.  You can place one crepe over the other as they finish.

Ideas to serve for breakfast or lunch:

1. Fill with cottage cheese and apple sauce. Roll into folded sausage.  Cut into bit size pieces and serve with a dribble of maple syrup.
2. Fill with chopped fruit (stawberries/blueberries/bananas etc.) Can add some cottage cheese or ricotta cheese for some protein.
3. sprinkle with cheese and/or fill with scrambled eggs.

Ideas for snacks (great for on-the-go kids snacks):

• Roll up with thinly sliced luncheon meat(s).
• Spread some honey/jam and/or peanut butter/almond butter etc.
• Roll up with a soft cheese slice or slice tofu

*These are great cut up into chunks or can give to your child rolled up as a whole (Cigar-shaped snack that is easy to hold).

Ideas for dinner:

1. make a little pizza on a crepe.  Easy to pick apart and eat as they are soft to “mumm” instead of pita or crust.
2. fill with grounded left-overs (cut up chicken, beef etc, diced leftover veggies) add some cheese  and warm and serve as dinner crepes
3. Soft quesadillas for children (fill with peppers, cheese, sour cream )
