This morning I looked for a healthy whole-wheat crepe recipe and hit the jackpot with the first try. With just a small amount of flour, 2 tbsp. of butter, 3 eggs and milk, you get a lot of lovely, tasty crepes! I made 9 using a 7-inch non-stick pan.
The fillings are where you can get into trouble, but I filled some with Chobani's 0% Raspberry Greek Yogurt, some Reddiwip spray whipped cream and topped it with more (for good measure) and fresh blackberries. It really was delicious. My husband doesn't like yogurt, so we filled his with applesauce and whipped cream. He loved it.
This is the link to the recipe that I used. It really is super and my first crepe turned out perfectly {which NEVER happens!}
Finally! I am able to blog again! My computer hard drive crapped out and I was without a computer for a while. I had my tablet, but I cannot update my blogs on there. It wouldn't let me upload pictures.
So, for my come-back, I thought I'd post about a delicious, nutritious pesto I made today. It was so easy and quick and delicious that I had to share. I served it as a spread on a chicken, cheese and pesto panini. Sooo yummy! I have been trying to add extra nutrition into everything I make lately, so this pesto includes chia seeds, flax seeds and hemp seed! These additives add a few calories, but are worth it in the end. You really can't taste them because the garlic and basil are so strong.
Spinach, Basil Pesto PLUS
6 cups Spinach, washed
1 bunch hydroponic basil (or two if you want more basily flavor!)
3-5 cloves of garlic
1 cup walnuts
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup olive oil (more if needed)
1 juice of one lemon
1/8 tsp pink sea salt (or any sea salt you have
1 tbsp. chia seed
1 tbsp. ground flax seed
1 tbsp. ground hemp seed
Pile all ingredients into your food processor or blender. BLEND! If your ingredients won't blend in the blender, add more olive oil and about 1/4 cup of water. You can add water to the food processor too because chia seed absorbs liquid and will soak up any liquid in the recipe. I added 1/3 cup of water and the texture turned out perfectly.
