Crepes

I can remember the first time I had this crepe dish. It was at this small, hole-in-the-wall breakfast joint in LBI called: The Sandbox Cafe. If you ever find yourself in Shipbottom, New Jersey please visit this restaurant, everything I tried there was absolutely delicious. This recipe is a take on their specialty crepe with secret cream cheese filling and fresh berries.

The thing I love about crepes is that you can pretty much fill them with anything. At The Sandbox Cafe, I had them with fruit and I also tried them with scrambled eggs, onions, and peppers. I've also had them with Nutella. So pretty much let your imagination go wild.

I'm not really sure where I found this recipe. I've been using it for months now and the source has been lost, but I guarantee it makes the most delicious crepes. I found that the full recipe makes too many for the four of us at my apartment, so I usually cut it in half which still leaves me with leftover crepes.

Lasagna Bolognese

I've never been a huge fan of lasagna. There's something about ricotta that instantly sends me running in the opposite direction. There is no rhyme or reason to it, it's just one of those ingredients that I cannot stomach. Especially not in large quantities, bleh. That's why when I noticed this recipe at Smitten Kitchen, the choir of angels immediately began rejoicing. Finally, a lasagna recipe without ricotta! Although, like most lasagnas that take minimal effort to pull off, this one is not the case. It was a labor of love, but completely and 100% worth it.
