Just What Does a Saturday Morning Breakfast Look Like?

7 am...the prep work begins... This morning we're having Crepes with strawberries & Bananas, Eggs, Bacon, mixed grapes
And whatever else we decide. I start by making the crepe mix from scratch. (Recipe follows) Then I start cutting up the strawberries. While Mr W makes a "mess o' bacon" and scrambled eggs.

Diana is the Crepe Master! See? Sometimes teenagers are good for something!


...the Crepe Master workin' her magic...



The island covered with the fixins'~




Five Missionaries...from L to R...E. Nevels (who was havin' fun makin' his pouty-face--he's the youngest in his family back in Missouri, so we tease him about actin'-out to get attention), E. Torres from Minnesota, then E. Macy, who has been very very sick the past week but still manages a smile, E. Okerlund from CA., and E. Leavitt from Nevada, then there's Daisie-doo.
We do this most Saturday mornings and have been for about 10 years...I never have to chase the meal calendar sign-up at Church and we get to know our missionaries and serve them once a week. What comes around goes around. This is why LDS Families can send their kids off to foreign countries or other states around the US--because we take care of one another's kids.
And we love it!

BASIC CREPE RECIPE:

4 Large Eggs
2 Cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 cup cold water
1 cup cold milk
1/2 teaspoon salt

Process all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smoothe, stopping to scrape down the sides. Cover and chill 1 hour ( I never do that...oops!)
Place a lightly greased 8" nonstick skillet over medium heat until skillet is hot.
Pour about 1/3 c of batter onto pan and quickly tilt pan in all directions until batter covers bottom of skillet.
Cook 1 minute or until crepe can be shaken loose from skillet. Turn crepe and cook about 30 seconds.
Repeat procedure with the rest of the batter.
Stack crepes between sheets of wax paper.
Yield: 2 dozen.

Filling:
1 Large container of cottage cheese...large or small curd
1 cup of confectioners sugar
1 tsp of vanilla
Use mixer to blend.

OR
Yogurt...vanilla or other flavor.

AND:
Fruit of your choice...strawberries, peaches, bananas all work great!

Procedure to Make:
Lay crepe open on plate
Fill it with fruit and/or filling
Roll Crepe kinda like a burrito.
Top with Whipped cream or Cool whip
and add more fruit.
Enjoy!

  2. Oh, I LOVE crepes! You need to try them with bananas and Nutella (chocolatey goodness). The French do veggies and stuff, so it kind of turns out like an omelet. YUM!
