That is right...today is Fat Tuesday or as some people call it Shrove's Day! A good excuse to pig out in fat/carb heaven! LOL! Got home and immediately ate two HUGE breadsticks and a big hunk of cheese....followed by what you are about to see! I was going to do some traditional pancakes but thought I would change it up and do a more French style and make crepes! I have made these before but only with plain white flour...this time I tried a healthier whole wheat version. Kind of funny trying to squeeze in a bit of nutrition on a day called Fat Tuesday! LOL! For some reason these were much harder to flip (maybe because of the consistency of the whole wheat and it could be because I was impatient?!) so after throwing away several I picked the best two and I gotta say they tasted better than expected!!!!
Click HERE for the basic batter recipe.
*I did add a tiny bit of sugar and vanilla for the dessert crepe*
This one is filled with some basics....shredded cheese and chopped up ham
A close-up to show you the crepe folded and topped with green onion
This one is filled with peanut butter, hickory nuts, banana and chocolate sauce!
As if this wasn't bad enough I topped my meal off with this wonderful cake!!
*What is cake without ice cream right?*
CANDY ALERT!!!!!
I'm feeling pretty good after indulging so I think I will do a little giveaway! Nothing big just a little something for those of you that read my blog! :)
All you gotta do is guess what type of cake is in the picture above! It looks like a plain yellow cake but don't let that fool you...there is another main ingredient which gives it the delicious flavor! Only one person knows and she better keep her trap shut! LOL! :P
I will pick a winner and share the recipe next Tuesday!
Good Luck!

P.S. Gonna see what else I can scrounge up in the kitchen! Life is too short not to enjoy the things you love and I LOVE food! :)

Yummmm! These all look just delish! Hmmmmm - secret ingredient?? Maybe lemon-lime soda?
banana cake I think the crepes look wonderful I adore especially the peanut butter and banana, one of my favorite combinations.
