Crepe Loading

I recently started Hal Higdon's 15K training program and decided it was time to enjoy my first "carb load" the night before running 5 miles with a friend of mine. I don't know if these count completely as healthy carb load options, but a few years ago Tom and I went to Paris and LOVED these crepes we ate right on the streets of Paris from the street vendors. I previously thought I'd have to spend the money to buy airline tickets back to Paris to enjoy these amazing crepes, but I made them at home last night using this recipe and they were absolutely delicious! 

PARIS STYLE CREPE RECIPE

Ingredients: 

1 cups\ flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 tsp salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Bananas

Lots of Nutella!

Mix the first 6 ingredients with a mixer. Heat a medium sized nonstick skillet on medium. Once hot, pour a half cup of the batter onto the skillet and tilt so the batter covers the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, then slide a spatula underneath and flip. After a minute, drop some nutella in the middle of the crepe to warm and begin to spread out to the edges carefully. Slice half a banana and drop the slices onto the crepe. Lift the crepe with the spatula onto a plate. Fold it over and eat! Delicious!

My kids also liked these plain with powdered sugar on top. Tonight I made one and put provolone cheese, ham, and sauteed mushrooms on it for dinner. Yum!
