EASY PEASY WHOLE WHEAT VEGETABLE GARDEN CREPES
Crepes are not just for breakfast! This spring we are planning on making an edible garden as a family. I thought it would be different to introduce our girls to crepes as a dinner dish using our own, homegrown vegetables as a filling. This recipe is super easy, and one that your whole family can cook together!

King Cake Crepes (With a Hidden Easter Treasure Inside!)
The King Cake (sometimes shown as kingcake, kings’ cake, king’s cake, or three kings cake) is a type of cake associated in a number of countries with the festival of Epiphany at the end of the Christmas season; in other places, it is associated with the pre-Lenten celebrations of Mardi Gras/Carnival. Historically, king cakes have included a hidden treasure (typically a baby symbolic of the Christian faith). I decided to include this particular recipe, called King Cake Crepes, as a means of continuing momstown Belleville’s pancake, flapjack, and crepe recipe theme during this present Easter season. It is also a child-friendly recipe, and one that your children will enjoying nibbling on, as well as to find the hidden treasure(s) inside!
