Crepes with Fresh Berries

So at the request of Ms. Lauren O'Brien I am trying a new breakfast this morning.  You always here about the french and their Crepes so I decided to try my hand at doing this myself.  Since I have never made these before I was not sure about a recipie but I didn't have to look too far to find a recipe when a friend provided me one from " 100 Days of Real Food ".   So I gathered my ingredients which was not alot and are pictured below.

The recipe walks you through how to do the whole process and I actually used a non-stick pan so didn't have to use the additional butter, which will cut down on the fat content but alot of that depends on how much you would have added to the pan with each crepe. 

I tried to get a little fancy and make a syrup with some of the berries, but if I was to go back and do this meal again I would probably not do this and just serve the meal with the fresh berries.  However, to make the syrup all I did was added some berries with a little water and simmered it for a few minutes to pull out some of the juices from the berries.

Once you start into making the crepes the process actually goes pretty quickly and the more you do the better you will be at the process.  Before I knew it I was making the crepes without any problems at all and they were coming out a nice golden brown.

The nice thing with doing these at home is that you can get creative with them if you would like.  I was not this time, but going forward you can look at creating different fillings for them such as a hazelnut spread, peanut butter, preserves, or you can go savory with ricotta cheese.  Again, I think your imagination will be what holds you back on this one.  In the end though it is the presentation of your food that gives it that Wow!!  factor.  So, experiment with what you think is going to be the best.  The most important thing to cooking for me and should be for you is to have fun and don't be afraid to try new things!!!
