Crepes have become one of my favorite light addition to my entrees. I took this recipe out of the Martha Stewart February 2009 Magazine and put it here for safe keeping.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this recipe. I followed the instructions exactly, but the crepes turned out dry and the filling was lumpy. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This was a disaster! The crepes were too thick and rubbery, and the filling was runny. I had to throw the whole thing out.
