Valentine’s Dinner Date Recipe: Sweet & SavoryCrepes

What says love better than crepes? I mean they come from France, which it’s capital city is Paris, the city of love. So, if you do the math then crepes are the go-to romantic food for lovers. We also chose crepes, because they are one of our favorite things to eat, you can customize them however you want, and it is also something that you probably don’t make everyday!

Ingredients to make the Crepes:

• 2 Eggs
• 2 Cups of Milk
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
• 1 cup of flour ( I used Simple Truth from Kroger)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Butter
• 2 tbsp Sugar ( I used Simple Truth from Kroger)

*We bought all of our ingredients for the crepes fromKroger.

Directions:

• Mix all of the ingredients into a blender and mix well.
• Pour mix into bowl and let it sit for a few minutes.
• While mix is setting, heat up a frying pan on low-medium heat.
• Spray with cooking spray or oil.
• Pour 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of mix into the pan and swirl the pan to coat it evenly with the crepe mix.
• Let the crepe cook until the edges are golden brown.
• Using a very thin spatula get under the crepe and flip over, continue to cook for another minute.
• Remove from heat and repeat for as many crepes as you would like.

California Style Crepe:

• Turkey Deli Meat
• Bacon
• Cherry Tomatoes
• Avocado
• Spring Mix
• Monterey Jack Cheese

You just layer all the ingredients onto the bottom half of the crepe. Then fold the top half towards you and then fold one more time, till it makes a triangle.

Strawberry & NutellaCrepe:

• Kroger Chocolate Syrup
• Nutella
• Fresh Strawberries
• Whip cream ( optional)

Spread nutella on the bottom half of the crepe. Then add sliced strawberries. Fold the top half of the crepe towards you and then fold it one more time to make a triangle. Then drizzle the Kroger Chocolate syrup over the crepe and add strawberries and whip cream.

This crepe is one of my favorites, because it is so simple to make and only needs a couple ingredients!

I have to take a quick second to brag on my hubby! He surprised me and picked up these beautiful pink roses from the Kroger floral shop! He knows how much I love fresh flowerson the table at home.

Little disclaimer – crepes take team work if you have not made them before! It took both of us to flip the crepes haha! Which, honestly made it so much fun! We did have a few “flips” that did not go so well, but luckily we were in no hurry and just kept at it until we got it right. So, give yourself some time to enjoy the process and try something new together this Valentine’s Day!

I would love to hear what you have planned for Valentine’s Day! Do you get dressed up and go out to dinner or do you keep it casual and stay in? While I do love to get dressed up, John and Ialwaysstay in on Valentine’s Day. I will be sharing why we started doing that close to 10 years ago ( wow, can’t believe it has been that long!) later this week and a fun dinner date night idea if you don’t want to get out and fight the crowds!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

DIY Valentine’s Wreath

Here’s what you will need to make this awesome wreath:

• Styrofoam wreath -I got mine from Michael’s Art Supply for around $7
• Tulle ribbon – I choose Pink, White, and Red
• Styrofoam glitter hearts – These were on sale at Michael’s Art Supply for less than $4 for the whole pack!
• Scissors
• Hot glue gun

First cut a bunch of strips of each color of ribbon. It honestly don’ have to be precise, I eye-balled it. You can always go back and trim them if needed.
Tie two strips of the same color ribbon into a knot on the wreath. (Make sure the knot is on the outside of the wreath, so that the tails of the ribbon are facing outward.) I recommend two strips of ribbon, becausethe ribbon is very sheer and using two strips of ribbon will make the color stand out better.

Then you just repeat that step over and over, alternating colors until you are done. I used a red, white, and pink color combo. You could also just use one color or add in more colors – it’s up to you!

Time to hot glue on the glitter hearts <3

Ta-da!

I hope you enjoyed this Valentine’s DIY! Grab some of your Galentine’s and have a fun girls craft night! Tag us in your photos if you decide to make one. #ourmessytable
