Crepes

The more I cook, the more I realize that simple food is amazing. Having few ingredients allow you to actually taste and enjoy those ingredients individually; I feel like palate over-stimulation is sometimes just as much of a danger as sensory over-stimulation of our current entertainment industry (okay, maybe not nearly as bad, but you get my point).
Anyways. Here is a quick and easy recipe from Tyler's family:

Batter Up:
- 4 eggs
- 1 and 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup flour (half wheat/half white if you feel healthy)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix:
Beat eggs together then add milk. Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until smooth.
Grease a frying pan with butter, and heat it over medium heat until a drop of water dances.
Pour 1/4-1/2 cup batter into the pan, and tilt the pan till the batter is evenly (thinly) spread.
Flip when center is dry, and/or the first side is browned.

Serve:
Roll up with fruit, applesauce, powdered sugar and lemon juice, sauted spinach and bacon, whatever fits your fancy.
Yesterday I heated up about a cup of frozen peaches and a cup of frozen raspberries with about two tablespoons of honey till they formed a nice sauce. It was wonderful.
