Lemon Filled Crepes with Strawberries

My kids are into crepes right now!  They love them with jam, fresh fruit, and powdered sugar.  This lemon cream filling was a wonderful treat for breakfast.  It wasn't to sweet or tart, just right, and with fresh fruit on top it made for a great breakfast.
After breakfast, we had some of the cream left over so we used it as a fruit dip, yum.  I liked the idea of a fruit dip that wasn't so sweet.  It was a nice twist from the fruit dips I have used and seen in the past.  Hope you enjoy this no matter how you end up using it!

Lemon Cream filled Crepes with Strawberries
yield: 6 large servings

Lemon Cream Filling:

1 cup cold whipping cream
1 lemon zested
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lb. fresh strawberries, washed and sliced

Directions:
In a stand mixer, whip cream cheese to soften. With mixer on low, stream in cream. Increase speed and whip 20-30 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl and whip again.

Crepes (My mom's recipe--can't make one better!)

2 eggs
2 cups + 2 tablespoons milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
pinch of salt


Whisk wet ingredients together. Add in the dry ingredients and whisk to combine (try to get the lumps out, but its ok if there are a few). Refrigerate batter for an hour or more. In hot, lightly greased fry pan, pour batter to cover the bottom in a thin layer. Flip when top of crepe looks dry. Fry for 15 seconds more and remove. Repeat the process until batter is gone.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!
