CREAMY RHUBARB CREPES
A very special breakfast (think Valentine's Day or anniversary). Could also be a lovely dessert. I think this is an outstanding recipe-my whole family enjoys it. The crepes and filling can be made the night before, assembled in the morning and warmed in the oven before adding the topping. Passive work time is for the crepe batter.

STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB COMPOTE
Strawberries and rhubarb make the perfect fruit pairing! This compote will liven up yogurt, oatmeal, scones, and ice cream and makes the most delicious topping for crepes! Try and find rhubarb stalks that are smaller in size as they are less tough.
