Family Night: Crepes

Our friends invited us over for a family night dinner of delicious homemade crepes. Yum! I had never had crepes before, but by the end of the night I had enjoyed many and had even learned to make them myself!

Here is the recipe shared by our gracious host.

Strawberry, nutella, and whipped cream. 

Fancy crepe pan.

Roll it around.

Nifty spatula with rubber coating, perfect for crepe making.

This is a perfect dessert for a ladies luncheon, shower, or activity. They are really cheap to make, offer lots of variety for all taste preferences, and can be pre-made and warmed up before serving.

Crepes for all!
