Trader Joe's "List of Favs" Coming Soon!

Crepes - Sweet & Salty

So this weekend I tried out Albertson's "pre-made crepes". (Does TJs offer these?) As an alternative to our traditional breakfast burrito Sunday brunch, we tried Crepes. Salty & Sweet ones. Yum.

Sweet
Nutella, Banana and sprinkle w/ sugar
Fresh raspberries and sprinkle w/ sugar
Honey, Lemon, and ..you guessed it...sprinkle w/ sugar

Salty
Spread TJs Cilantro Pecan dip (yum!) on the bottom of the crepe, layer rotisserie chicken (yep, the one leftover from dinner the night before), shredded cheese and fresh tomato. Oh, my, divine!
And, I'm sure you could come up with more. My alternative favorite is spinach, mushroom, tomato topped w/ a bechemel sauce (similar to hollandaise).

So this is something fun to have on hand ... and then throw leftovers into for a Tres Chic brunch, lunch, dinner or dessert! Oh, and did I mention the kids loved creating & making their own!
