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!)

March 22, 2015momstownFamily Life, Featured, Parenting, Preschooler, ToddlersNo commentsEaster, Editorial, Family, Holiday, moms, Nutrition, Parenting, Preschool, Spring, Toddler, Weekend Events

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!
