The Legendary Fat Tuesday Crepe Nights

Fat Tuesday Crepe Nights: a tradition of friendships and gathering of people to create a sweet treat.

These crepes are my trademark meal! I began making crepes my first semester in college as a way to meet new people and create a gathering place for friends.

Little did I know then the impact that tradition would have on my future. Over the decade of my single life as an early adult I created over 57,000 crepes, 18 marriages and a multiplicity of friendships. [Read more…]

This Hearty Hash Brown Omelette is a mix of everything about breakfast that you love! It is simple to make and feeds an army, literally. I love making this dish for blessing open houses because I can prepare it ahead of time and toss it in the oven. It is also a great dinner option because my children not only eat it for dinner, but devour it for breakfast too. Plus it tastes just as good heated up as it does fresh from the oven.

I love how simple it is to make and how much my little family loves it! Sometimes I’ll buy two baguettes and freeze what we don’t eat because my kids love eating it for breakfast too.

My only advice is don’t wait too long to make it after buying the baguettes because they only stay soft for a day, maybe two. Last time I purchased baguettes for French toast I waited too long and had to saw through the bread which immediately crumbled.  We made the most of it and took it to the duck park to share with our feathered friends but had to stomp on it to break it into smaller pieces.

A Teaspoon of HomeI love decorating them with powdered sugar and fresh berries but you could be so creative and your family will think you are the best! So change up your dinner routine and add a little breakfast to the menu. I love this meal because I always have breakfast for the following day/ days to come.
