Yesterday, I made crepes for dinner. It was an all day task. Because of my aching back, I got a good start in the morning with the crepe themselves. While in Ohio at an antique store I bought this not so antique book (from the 70's) for $1 because I love crepes.
I set up my work station, because I can't stand up very long and set to it.
I used 2 pans, although they aren't actual crepe pans, they work just fine. My crepes aren't perfectly round either.
I cooked a total of 47 crepes. I had to make the recipe twice, since it only made 23 when it said 32-36. I either made them too thick or too large. But I did need enough to feed my 9 person family.
Rabbit Trail - Feeding 9 isn't too hard. Monday I fed 12, counting the baby that isn't born yet. She needs to eat also. I made a double batch of spaghetti, because I never make enough anyways. I'm using some of that leftover sauce on the crepe.
This one is a salmon and hard-boiled egg filling.The salmon is some that my boys caught in the
Nisqually River and I had frozen.
This is a cream cheese and spaghetti sauce filling blended up. I used some leftover sauce and added a spoonful on top since it seemed to blend in so finely.
Out of the oven ready to eat. I made a sauce (this is where I strayed from the recipe) because we really like sauces. I put some swiss cheese in it. It was liked more than I thought it would be.
This one was really ate up. Cream cheese with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella? Yes, it was good.
And those dessert crepes! Pear with a caramel sauce.
Here's Veronica enjoying the cream cheese and berry crepe. The berries were a mix of all bags in the freezer that just had a few berries in them. When making smoothies the kids just seem to start a new bag of fruit because the other bag might not have enough in it. I think she's enjoying it.
We also love Crepes, I have to say I don't think I would have EVER thought of spaghetti sauce and cream cheese.. may have to try that one on the daycare kids!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea!
