For the Love of Crepes



For the love of crepes, that's what this is! Originating from France, crepes are a must with any meal. And what is more important than a fool proof recipe? I am letting you know my simple secret about crepes. No pitching the first one in the trash can with this recipe. (Those of you that have made these before, know what i'm talking about.) The secret is not only in the simplicity of it, but the heat and size pan it requires. So on with the info:

2 eggs, beaten
3 cups 2% reduced fat milk
2 cups flour

That's it! - no joke!

I use Wolfgang Pucks stainless steel 10" omelette pan. I don't recommend using a non-stick pan because for me, it did stick. (I think it has something to do with the way the heat travels.)  I have a four burner gas stove. I use the 2nd largest burner size. My flame from start to finish is a consistant medium to low flame. Cooking crepes is not fast fyi. You should let your pan heat up prior to your first pour. And always make sure you use non stick spray as your heating your pan up (it helps gauge your heat level a little better) and inbetween pours. After your first pour which is a soup ladle size, hold your pan and move batter in a circular motion until large circle is formed. When your edges start to curl upwards, use a fork to loosen crepe and flip it!  This recipe makes 11 delicious crepes. We love ours with rosehip jam, sugar, and walnuts.  


Hope you enjoy!

Evergreen Trees

Hello friends and fellow bloggers! I hope the start of 2021 has been full of good health, happiness, and love. Over here, I've been been busy enjoying the creative process, trying new things and attempting new horizons every which way possible. It truly feels like a good way to start the year. I wanted to share with you this adorable Evergreen Tree quilt.  I've never done foundation paper piecing prior to this project, but can honestly say I'm hooked! This free printable pattern was found on Pinterest and was perrrrfect for a beginner like myself. Not to mention, it helped me use up nearly all my green scraps:) If you are new to FPP too, you'll want to make sure the first pattern you try is numbered.  This will help you understand how the blocks should be created from start to finish. Every quilt is a one of a kind, but I have to admit, this takes it a step further. Also recommended, watching a few youtube videos. I'm a visual learner, and watching the videos reall...

January.... you're almost done!

Hello friends!  I feel like it's been forever since my last post. I suppose some might even say I've been spending nearly all my time on the forefront of creative madness along with trying to continue healing. Holy smokes! Chemo and radiation will change a person forever. I'm continuing my healing journey, and staying hopeful that I'll remain in the 'clear' for a long time. It's odd, the way you feel, when everything you've gotten accustomed to: the running around, working day to day, rushing here and rushing there.... how quickly it changes when it's no longer a necessity. Yes, I am extremely thankful that my spouse supports and pushes for my healing time, omitting nurse life as it was, but like I told my girlfriend the other day, "how many craft projects can a girl possibly do?" ..... Well let me just tell you..... A LOT! Today's post will revisit some Instagram pics, (in case you don't follow along) with some of my most recent...

Crystal Knob Rack

So... what can you do with a piece of wood measuring 45 inches by 3 1/2? Well, if it's 1 inch thick, you can use it to make the cutest wall rack. But instead of using hooks, use drawer knobs!   Here's how the idea got started. I needed a place to photograph kids aprons. Now, most of you know that my girls have been modeling them, but they can't model toddler aprons, right? All I could picture was a gorgeous crystal knob rack used to display those mini aprons I love to make. And after searching in stores and online, I realized they are not very easy to find. Soo...... "oooohhh hubby.... can you drill a few holes in this piece of oak wood I found in the barn?"   Of course he did it in a heart beat & he even sanded it down too! The holes were positioned like this: I did the two outer ones first, then measured to the center in between those. And again, the middle of the center and outer one. Got it? I took some regular creamy white wall paint I had left...
