About a year ago I started noticing that my day started of very frenetically…<\/p>\n

I would immediately jump out of bed and try to wage war against the rising tide of emails and meetings. I could deal with them in a few hours but for some reason I felt like these were all things that I needed to do right then and there. The more I did it the more stress I felt doing it.<\/p>\n

All the while I felt like I was ignoring my kid, patiently waiting to see if I would put down the coffee and spend a couple of minutes with her before I started the whole “ok daddy now has to go to work” speech.<\/p>\n

The stress didn’t help – and not spending time with the person I see most important just added to it. I needed to just stay unplugged and try something different.<\/p>\n

I had always wanted to try making crepes but for some reason I thought that it would be entirely too involved. One night I said “that’s it. I’m changing this..”<\/p>\n

I searched online on YouTube and found a recipe called Beth’s Foolproof Crepe Recipe<\/a>. The following morning I put the plan to action….<\/p>\n

\nCup of flour? Check. Two eggs? Check. Butter? Check. Salt and sugar? Check.<\/p>\n

\nI throw the butter in the pan and start melting it while I work through the other ingredients. By the time I work the ingredients the butter is melted and the pan is pre greased. Two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n

\nDry ingredients get mixed first<\/p>\n

\nWet ones are added after<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0198.JPG\"<\/a>
\nEverything is mixed together into a very thin consistency.<\/p>\n

\nA third of a cup works perfectly well for pouring batter.<\/p>\n

\nI pour into the center of a pan with the power set to 2.<\/p>\n

\nI then tip the pan to coat the entire bottom. The tortilla warmer will hold the finished crepes.<\/p>\n

\nOne flip when they are browning and they look good.<\/p>\n

\nOnce they are out- two get cinnamon and sugar. One gets powdered sugar. I do have an assortment of jams and jellies I can use but this seems like a good convo.<\/p>\n

What does this give me?<\/p>\n
