Cheeseburger Crepes & Strawberry Cheesecake Crepes

Tonight’s experiment with crepes went delightfully.

Cheeseburger Crepe Ingredients

Yummyness!

For dinner I made cheeseburger crepes, and I made them exactly how it sounds.

The crepe mixture had salt, pepper and a squirt of mustard.

The cream cheese mixture had grated onions mixed into it.

Preparing to Roll it Up

Ground beef and shredded cheddar.  

All the fixing’s for a good cheeseburger.

But as I bit into the concoction it had reminiscent flavor of a good burger, but it was better, in a crepe sort of way.  It made my mouth sing! All those flavors were dancing around in my mouth; I had to have a second right away!

Strawberry Crepe Ingredients

For dessert I made strawberry cheesecake crepes.

The crepe mixture has vanilla and sugar added.

The cream cheese mixture also had vanilla and sugar added.

Plus diced strawberries and chocolate syrup, Yummy!

After tasting the delicious crepes, I realize that chocolate syrup is way over powering on strawberries, and there wasn’t nearly enough cream cheese mix.

I am not saying they weren’t delicious, but next I can make them even better.

Sugar Cookies

So yesterday I made homemade sugar cookies for the first time. They turned out pretty good. As always I am looking to make the best, I want to take a bite and go Oh My Gosh this is delicious! The thing is I am still trying to figure out my gas oven, I think it burns a little hotter because the cookies were a nice pale color on top but dark brown on the bottom.  Next time I will bake on a lower temperature.

As for the frosting, I made my own as well. The perfect sugar cookie frosting. Like the frosting you find on the lofthouse sugar cookies, Yum!
