How to Make Excellent Crepes

Hello everyone! The Holiday Season is in full swing, which means one thing. Delicious, fattening, sweet, glorious food! From cookies, to strudel, to old family recipes it’s truly the most wonderful time of the year. So I would like to share a favorite breakfast of mine that you could use as your next holiday treat.

Crepes are a deliciously thin food that can be presented in a plethora of ways. I love cooking them for friends and family, and the best part is seeing what people do with their breakfast. Below is a link to my favorite crepe recipe, and then I will explain a few tips to make them great.

A few tips for perfect crepes:

Use a non-stick pan.

Respray the pan with Pam before each new crepe you cook. Crepes should be able to slide around on the pan easily.

Never put the pan over medium heat.

If your crepe looks too puffy, flatten it with the spatula while still in the pan.

Place the crepes on top of aluminum foil to keep them warm and moist until it’s time to eat.

Once all the crepes have been cooked, it’s time to have a lot of fun. You can use toppings such as whipped cream, Nutella, honey, fruit, syrup, peanut butter, etc. My favorite crepes are Nutella crepes and honey crepes. You can keep the crepes flat, roll them, or fold them. For a little holiday flair, you could try Christmas sprinkles, or add a little peppermint extract to the batter.

With your crepes have some milk, coffee, or hot chocolate. I prefer coffee with irish creamer and whipped cream on top/

I hope you all enjoy this new and delicious holiday treat. Stay safe everyone, and Merry Christmas!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
