Creamy Strawberry Crepes

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  •  
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
  • 4 cups sliced strawberries

  1. Place the eggs, milk, water, melted butter, flour, and salt in the pitcher of a blender; blend until smooth.
  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 2 tablespoons for each crepe. Tip and rotate pan to spread batter as thinly as possible. Flip over when the batter is set and the edges are beginning to brown. Cook until the other side begins to brown. Stack finished crepes on a plate, cover with a damp towel and set aside.
  3. Blend the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.
  4. To serve, fill each crepe with 1/4 cup sliced strawberries and 1/3 cup of the cream cheese filling, roll up and top with a small dollop of the cream cheese filling and more sliced strawberries.

Sunday Roast and Rice

Ok so this is one of our favorite meals, and we have it about every other Sunday.

Get a cut of beef- it can be literally any cut of beef
put it in your crockpot at the beginning of the day
fill the crockpot full of water- enough that it covers the meat with a little extra to spare.Cook for about 6-8 hours, the longer you cook the more tender it will be.

Then add in the Steak Seasoning- we usually just sprinkle the top of the water until it is completely covered with a layer of the seasoning.

So im guessing like 1/8 of a cup or more- it is really just up to your preference. But if you are going to be making this alot you HAVE to got to COSTCO a big bottle of this stuff is only 10 bucks! well worth it!
The more seasoning you put in the spicier it will be, just kind of gestimate until you get it right!

Then a little bit before we eat we stick some white rice in the rice cooker

How to make your bowl:
Get the meat from the crockpot and shred it
Fill the bowl with rice put a little dollup of butter and stir un.
Add meat
Add as much of the water as you would like. Sometimes I like mine a little more like a soup, but usually you just add the seasoned water to soak the rice.
Eat and ENJOY

We love this because it is so filling, and so easy to make
