Crepe's-Sweet

Inspired by "Le Crepe" in Honolulu I decided to try a similar sweet crepe. So the basic recipe is on the previous blog. After turning the crepe I spread melted butter on top.

Followed by brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.

Roll and sprinkle with a little powdered sugar, serve, yum yum!

Crepe's-Savory

Finely shredded Swiss Cheese and Parmesan Cheese
Diced green onion

Fresh basil chopped

in a 8 inch skillet pour 1/2 - 3/4 c. batter and coat the bottom of the pan and lightly brown. Carefully pull the crepe from the side and bottom of the pan and turn to brown the other side.

Place the onion, basil, and cheese on the crepe to melt.

Fold or roll and serve. Use your imagination for savory fillings. Bacon and or sausage are excellent as well.

C is for Cookies

I love that Natalie and Rebecca have been having so much fun in the kitchen making cookies for various occasions. They have become very good at the new talent.

Upon our last return from Honolulu we had a BBQ as a family and they had made these cookies in honor of us.

And then for a baby shower for Jessica these were made for the little girl.
