The other day I had a SERIOUS craving for crepes. And I’m the type of girl who won’t let a food craving go. Case in point I inhaled six of these delicious cream cheese filled babies in one day!
*sorry not sorry* ha!
And because these are extremely easy to prepare, I was indulging in them within an hour.
If you’ve never prepared crepes this recipe will have you making them time and time again. They are THAT good and quite simple to whip up. Make sure to watch the video below.
