Crepes


My favorite dessert, I mean breakfast is crepes. I like them with strawberries, cream cheese and whipped cream.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Blend everything in blender. Use a small non-stick skillet with cooking spray over med. heat. Pour enough in the pan to swirl it around. Cook until the edges are lightly brown. Use a fork to loosen the edges and flip. Cook 1 min. more. You could make these so many ways:

~Butter with powdered sugar
~Canned pie filling
~Whipped cream
~Scrambled eggs
~Brown sugar and sour cream
The list goes on...

Frog-Eye Salad

I got this recipe out of our Friends and Neighbors cookbook that we did for our ward. It is Lisa Harmon's recipe, but I tweaked it and added marshmallows and cherries.

1 pkg acini de pepe pasta, cooked according to directions, drained and rinsed with cold water
1 c. sugar
3 egg yolks
2 c. pineapple & orange juice (reserved from pineapples and oranges)
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 20 oz. can pineapples, juice reserved
1 11 oz. can mandarin oranges, juice reserved
3/4 c. maraschino cherries, chopped
10 oz. marshmallows
1 12 oz. container cool-whip, thawed

In a saucepan over med.-low heat combine sugar, yolks, juices. Stir and cook until thickened. Remove from heat. Combine sauce with pasta. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours. Toss pasta with pineapple, mandarin oranges, cherries, marshmallows and whipped cream. Refrigerate until serving.
