Crepe date!

I decided to make crepes last night. I've never made crepes before, actually, I've only ever eaten crepes once before! So this was truly an experiment.   I thought it'd be nice to make a savory dinner crepe, and then a dessert crepe.  I think it was a success!

First, I made the crepes -
That took a bit of getting used to... I killed about 4 crepes before getting the flipping technique down.

Next, I plopped it on a plate and asked Joel to fill it up.  I made the filling out of whatever I could find in the fridge, which ended up being - chicken, smoked gruyere, light cream, LF butter, garlic, and thinly sliced apple. 

Then, he just folded it over, like an omelet



And I topped it with some sauce (same as the filling)



It was very, very delicious. But too heavy for me. I ate 2, which came out to 548 calories.  But it felt like about 1,200. Just, very creamy. Joel LOVED them, and had 4!  While I enjoyed my dinner, I was looking forward to dessert :) 

So I made a up a few more crepes, I filled them with fresh berries and sliced banana (and chocochips in Joels :-) ).  Topped with powdered sugar and a squirt o' whipped cream.  


Now THIS is where it's at.  I really loved this dessert. I ate 2 of these, which came out to about 170 calories, which is more my style :-) 
I have some batter left, and will most likely make this again tonight.
