New Traditions

A birthday just isn't a birthday without a cake. At least, that's what I used to think. My boyfriend doesn't have much of a sweet tooth and with his birthday coming up I was trying to think outside the box. He mentioned loving the crepes he'd had while in Paris. So, a little Nutella, a few strawberries and viola, a bit of Paris was recreated in a Washington apartment.

Strawberry-Nutella Crepes
Makes about 10 crepes

1 cup milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 eggs
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Nutella
2 pints strawberries, quartered
Powdered sugar for garnishing, optional

Place all ingredients in the container of the Vita-Mix container. Start on variable #1, increase to #10. Run for 20 seconds. Refrigerate crepe batter for at least one hour. Make crepes and fill with Nutella and sliced strawberries. Garnish with powdered sugar and more berries, if desired.
