Pinterest: I can only dream...

So I've been trying to eat healthier, and I've noticed 

I don't really eat enough fruit and veggies... 

However, I will very gladly eat them if they're 

in the form of a smoothie!

We just got a blender last night so I was super

excited to make a smoothie for breakfast

this morning! But when I took a sip...

It tasted WAY too healthy. lol :) 

Anyways... Hopefully it will turn out a 

little better tomorrow. I think I needed juice, berries,

or something more fruity in there, because
it basically tasted like grass. YUCK!

Anyhoo... Today's Pinterest board is...

{DRUM ROLL PLEASE!}

I can only dream...

Now... If you know me well enough

or have followed my blog for awhile,

you know I LOVE LOVE LOVE

Paris... Even though I've never actually been 

there, I'd love to before the time I die!

Holy CREPE!

I know crepes may sound a little difficult to make, but they are SUPER easy and don't require much time, effort, or ingredients. Crepes are sort of like pancakes, except the texture is a little different and they are much thinner. You can top them or fill them with pretty much anything you'd like!

Basic Crepe 

1 c. all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 milk
1/2 c. water
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. melted butter

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter, beat until smooth.

2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 c. for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter cots the surface evenly.

3. Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn, and cook the other side.

Before the works...

After the works...

But like I said, you can put just about ANYTHING on your crepes. I put strawberry yogurt with strawberries in syrup on mine. Here are a few other ideas...

-Bananas, chocolate, and peanut butter

-Peanut butter and jelly

-Fresh fruit and whipped cream

-Chopped nuts and whipped cream

-Eggs and vegetables

-Whipped cream and chocolate syrup

-Nutella Spread

-Grilled Chicken and Cheese

-Butter and cinnamon sugar

Bon Appetite! (:

"The Natural Ham"

Has anyone ever seen "Julie and Julia"? Well the movie was based on a famous chef; Julia Child. She is mostly known for bringing French cuisine to the American public. She wrote a cookbook called Mastering the Art of French Cooking and starred in her own TV show, the French Chef, which debuted in 1963. In 1948, her husband's work swayed them to Paris, France where her love for French cooking budded. She took classes at the world-famous cooking school there Le Cordon Bleu (where I would LOVE to go some day ;)) Julia had a spunky personality, and was never afraid of making mistakes. “Remember, if you are alone in the kitchen, who is going to see you?” she reassured her television audience. She was also known for her "tallness" because she was over 6'2"! Julia Child died just two days before her 92nd birthday, on August 13, 2004.

...And as Julia Child would say, "Bon Appetite!"
