CREAMY RHUBARB CREPES

Fixing rhubarb this way brings a spring "zing" to the table. I adapted this crepe recipe, which originally featured strawberry jelly, from one I loved as a child. My husband declared it a "winner". He even came up with its name.

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.
