Easy to make, delicious tasting Baked Salmon

It doesn't get easier then this! When I find a recipe where I only have to spend 15 minutes to prepare it - that is a recipe for me! And with this recipe the clean up is just as easy as the preparation.

Crepes at any meal

Crepes are a little time consuming, but easy to make. I have always enjoyed eating crepes in restaurants. Once we were in Vegas and ate at this great buffet style French restaurant and one of the sections was crepes. There was a whole table of toppings to choose from and the chef made the crepes fresh for you while you waited which only took a few seconds to cook.

My son always requests these for an after dinner treat since he likes to fill his with strawberry jelly. It takes a little time to cook them on the stove, but if you pile them up inside a dish towel while you make them they stay nice and warm for everyone to enjoy.

I did cut back on the cumin and garlic powder which seemed a bit excessive to me, but other then that I followed the directions and it came out great. I even used a slotted spoon to pull out some of the ingredients without the liquid so I could cut some up for my 1 year old. I thought it might be a bit spicy for her taste but she was using both hands to eat it.
