Buckwheat Crepes

By -
These are great for savory dinner crepes.


PREP AND COOK TIME: About 30 minutes
MAKES: 8 to 10 crepes; 2 or 3 servings



3 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup buckwheat flour 
  1 cup whole milk
  Butter
1. In a blender or food processor, mix eggs, all-purpose  and buckwheat flours, and milk until smooth, scraping down sides of  container if necessary. (The flour may settle as batter stands;  stir before cooking if necessary.)                                  
2. Heat pan over medium heat.  Grease with a bit of butter (or oil if you want to be healthier)
3. Lift pan from heat and pour in 1/4 cup batter; immediately  tilt pan and swirl batter to coat bottom. Crepe should set at once and  form tiny bubbles. Set pan back over heat and cook crepe until lightly  browned at the edge and dry-looking on the surface, 1 to 3 minutes.  Flip and cook other side for about a minute.
4. Repeat until the batter is gone. 

At this point you can fill your crepes with whatever, sauteed veggies, mushrooms, cheese.....we filled ours with a variety of things and then baked them.  Or just eat them as a snack, plain, sugar, as you desire.

      Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!     Lentil Vegetable Soup     2/3 c green lentils   1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants)   1 lg onion, roughly chopped   2-3 cloves garlic, chopped   1 lg tomato, chopped   1-2 carrots, diced  1/2 c mushrooms   1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine   1/4 c corn   2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth   S&P to taste     Combine and wash all lentils and set aside.   In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent.   Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t

Galette des Rois

January 6 is the Epiphany, a day to celebrate when the 3 kings visited Baby Jesus.  I think it is a Catholic holiday.  I learned about it while in France and love the tradition of making a galette des rois/Kings Cake.   The tradition goes you make the cake with a hidden bean inside.  The youngest person at the table sits under the table.  As a slice of cake is plated, the youngster names who gets that slice.  (make sure you slice the cake so you have only as many slices as you do people eating the cake)  Whoever finds the hidden bean is the King or Queen for the evening and wears a crown.  This year, I think I improved my recipe, with more almond filling than I normally add.  I thought it was going to end up messy but instead it made it yummier.  I had some extra filling and decided to make a mini kings cake with the extra puff pastry.  I added some fresh raspberries which tasted quite yummy all warm in the cake.  Though I think I prefer it without the berries.  Try it out, it is reall
