Crepes

These crepes are out of this world! Breakfast, lunch or dinner. Most recently we ate them for dinner. These crepes are thicker than your traditional French crepe but in my opinion more delicious and easier to flip. I love that you can throw the ingredients in the blender and voila 1 minute later a beautiful smooth batter that cooks to a golden toasty brown on your griddle. I have filled these with blueberries, strawberries, pineapple, peaches and bananas...honestly you really cannot go wrong. Last week I found fresh pineapple on sale and filled ours with pineapple, bananas and homemade whipped cream. We ate the entire batch. Yikes! But really the batter by itself is fairly healthy. Not Green Smoothie healthy but still pretty good. Enjoy!

1 cup cottage cheese- I prefer small curd 4% milk fat
6 eggs
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Place all ingredients in a blender, and blend on high for 1 minute (you may need to pause and scrape the sides half-way through). Scoop out the batter in 1/4 cups onto a heated griddle or skillet. If using an electric griddle turn your heat to about 375F or if using a skillet on the stove, turn your heat to medium-high. Tilt the griddle to spread out the batter until thinned, cook until browned on the bottom and then flip.

Serves about 4, or 2 if your really hungry and thoroughly enjoying your meal.

Ready to flip! Notice the air bubbles coming to the surface and beginning to pop


Perfect golden brown
At this point my husband is saying "can we please stop the pictures and start eating". :)
