Mitchell is Croatian and his dad makes amazing homemade polychinkas, a fancy, Croatian name for crepes. When he was little, his mom made them every Friday for the whole family, they would fill them with cottage cheese, fruit, or jelly and have breakfast for dinner. Then for dessert, they make another round and fill these with Nesquik powdered chocolate with whipped cream. Nowadays he makes them for
his whole family (me included, thank god) and they are so delicious words won't do them justice.
In case you haven't noticed
here,
here, and
here, I am on a major crepe kick lately. I will eat them any day, any meal. And the great thing about crepes is, you
can eat them for any meal, breakfast, lunch, or dinner, how great is that? My all time favorite filling is Nutella and banana, although the Nesquik powder Mitchell's family introduced me to is a very close second.
How do you feel about crepes? Do you love them as much as I do? What is your favorite type?

oh man I LOVE LOVE crepes. I have been meaning to make them at home forever but never get around to it. Love them w/powdered sugar and lemon or nutella or strawberries. Ah!!
After reading this, I realize I don't have enough crepes in my life. I guess I'm afraid to make them thinking I'll screw them up. There's a place here in Houston that sells them, I usually just go there. But they're $$. do you have a good recipe?
Hugs!
You Are My Favorite
I love blueberry crepes...strawberry is up there too on my list!! and they're super delicious over at IHOP!! lol
Crepes and me! I'm from Brittany after all. Remind me of "Crepes Parties" we used to do with my dad during summer holidays. I love them with everything and what is great is that we have a lovely place here in Dublin, managed by French People........always a lovely time!

I've only had them a handful of times in the traditional sense, but back in Kansas there was this breakfast restaurant that made this combination of crepes and and omelet. The kind I loved was filled with slices of avocado, onion, and cheese with a poppy seed dressing on the side. It's pretty incredible.
I LOVE me some crepes! I love them sweet but they're great with cheese and spinach too!
I LOVE Crepes!! I love breakfast crepes with fresh fruit, or with strawberries and that yummy strawberry filling, or with Nutella :)

Chocolate crepes with vanilla ice cream reminds me of so many holidays in France! Yummy!
There was a crepe place in Baltimore that I might have visited 2 or 3 times a week when we lived there-I can't live without a good crepe!
I love crepes! There is a restaurant by my school that I can walk to called It's Just Crepes and they make their own crepes sandwich style and they also have dessert crepes. My favorite has bananas and nutella. Oh my goodness yum. I am a huge fan of crepes!
I do love crepes, and my favorite is the nutella/bananna, or just whip/strawberry.
I haven't had them in a while, so perhaps it's a must for the weekend. Your certainly motivating me!!
if i could subsist off crepes for life, you bet i would! my boyfriend is half Croatian and he also calls them polychinkas :)
I love crepes too, they're very popular here in Montreal, Quebec and we're lucky to have many "crêperies" around town. I've never made them myself, not sure why but I totally should. These homemade polychinkas sound heavenly, what a lovely yummy family tradition!
YUM...you totally have me craving crepes now :) I just love them...ALL... sweet & savory. xoxoxo brynn
