We recently went on a trip and returned home to an almost-empty refrigerator. Half of what was there did not even resemble it's original form. I didn't have time to get to the store and needed to scrape a dinner together. I had eggs, milk, and flour and decided to make crepes.
We lOvE breakfast for dinner!!
I didn't have any turkey sausage or other protein option for the side, so I decided to add a scoop of whey protein powder to the batter. Whey protein is a milk-based protein and easily mixes into water, milk, or juice. My experiments in the kitchen don't always work out, but this one did. De-lish!
The vanilla protein powder added a little extra flavor and didn't affect the texture of the crepes at all. I may start adding it to other recipes (besides smoothies, which are fantastic). It's a great way to add low-fat protein to your diet, which will help as you build muscles and helps you to feel full longer.
I used the Better Homes and Gardens crepe recipe and added a little extra milk (about 1/2 cup) to make up for the added powder. And the best thing about it all?? My children loved it.

Sounds yummy. It was great to see you and your cute family. I wish you were closer so we could see each other more often. I will have to try making this for my family we LOVE breakfast for dinner too.
