Sickies and comfort food

Over the weekend my little family came down with something. My husband got hit the hardest and was miserable yesterday evening and night and this morning. Luckily my hard spot was yesterday afternoon and by today I was doing much better.
   
Sooo...to the point...I had a very strong urge to make some comfort food. What type you might ask? Going back to my childhood, I started craving crepes...
   
After looking up some recipes I attempted making crepes for the first time, by myself. EVER! And I'm happy to tell you that it was so easy to do that I can't wait to do it again! 

  To find a recipe, I did what any self respecting woman would do and scoured Pinterest. I found a good basic recipe and went from there. The results were delicious! 
   
  Since I was going for a brunch deal I decided on savory, a sweet, and a sweet and sour. I had yummy mushrooms, asparagus and strawberries that I had gotten from my Bountiful Baskets this week and I was very excited to put them all to use. 

Ham, mushroom, cheddar, asparagus crepe drizzled with a Dijon "white" sauce.

* I sautéed the ham and mushrooms separately with some olive oil and garlic before putting in the crepe. The sauce from the original recipe I cut in half but still had a lot left over. 



Strawberry and chocolate coconut cream icing (left over from a cake) crepe topped with Hershey's syrup.


And the very traditional lemon juice and powdered sugar crepe. 

   Amazing!! Can't wait to try some new combos. What's your favorite crepe filling?

The main crepe recipe came from here.

The savory crepe idea came from this website
