Spinach and Mushroom Crepe

Monday, Mondays, Mundane...
It seems like every Monday is the same.
Wake up.
Go to work.
Go to class.
Go to sleep in class.
Go to more work.
Seems interesting eh?

Well, for a little more excitement, I decided to make some spinach and mushroom crepes because I haven't had crepes in awhile.

3. Add liquid to the dry ingredients and mix well
4. Add olive oil and mix well.

Cooking Directions of non-stickiness
*Note: I use a stainless steel pan, and I have never gotten crepes stuck on it before.
Things to consider:
1. Heat the pan pretty hot
2. Add 1-2 tbs of oil
3. Use a paper towel to wipe the pan
4. Once the oil is hot, turn down the heat a little bit
5. Add a little bit of the batter and swirl around the batter
6. Heat up until the edges are slightly brown.
7. Use spatula or flick of the wrist to flip the crepe over
8. Cook for about 1 minute and flip over to plate

Ingredients for the filling
1 cup Spinach
1/2 cup Cremini mushrooms
1 tsp Garlic powder
Salt and pepper

Cooking
1. Heat up 1 tsp of oil in the pan
2. Throw in mushrooms and spinach
3. Cook for 5 minutes
4. Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder
5. Add filling to the crepe and fold anyway you want

Voila! It's not so hard is it?
Oh yea! If you are wondering about the sauce that I placed on top. Well, I whipped it up in less than five minutes. It is a white bean tomato sauce.

Ingredients
1/2 cup White kidney beans
1/2 cup White wine
1 Roma tomato
1 Garlic clove
Salt and pepper

Directions
1. Blend everything
2. Bring to a sauce pan and boil for 5 minutes until all the alcohol is gone or reduced into the sauce.
