Crepe Crazy and the Kid Cave!

Look out! This is one of the best desserts ever!!!

I had a dessert similar to this one at a restaurant and have never forgotten it. They used puffed up pizza dough baked in a brick oven, incredible!

It is warm crepes with nutella, carmelized bananas with brandy, vanilla ice cream, and almonds.

Sometimes only the Best will do!

I'm not even a banana person, but these absolutely make the dish!

A few days earlier we had crepes filled with warm sweet cream cheese topped with fresh strawberries and blackberries soaked in a bit of sugar.

And a few days before that... we had crepes with melted dark chocolate chips, cream cheese and fresh blackberry sauce.

To make the blackberry sauce, mash them through a sieve, add sugar, and reduce over the stove until thickened slightly.

Oh Crepes... I've never met one I didn't like!

And this is the kid cave!

We decided to make the kids there own little space in the closet under the stairs.
We prepared it secretly and sent them on a scavenger hunt to find it.

 Of all the kids, Will thinks it's the most magical : )

Poor guy, his work is never done.

What's a cave without a bear?!

( He was a Costco steal. I couldn't stop laughing as I was by myself pushing the shopping cart with his huge arms hanging out the sides. )

Also among the amenities is a  Hi-Tech Quaker Oats Messaging System.

Dom humored me and let me screw two giant eye hooks into the wall for their pulley system : )



It's been so much fun.

'Til next time!!!

For the crepe recipe that I like to use, refer to the post Dessert for Breakfast Any Day, June 2009.
