Pumpkin Nutella Crepes

Pumpkin. Its that season, where pumpkin is my main focus cause its weird to have it any other time of the year so we have to live it up! 

In our house we have crepes a couple of times a month. Its the one dinner that no one complains about what we're eating. So I decided to change it up a little and adding pumpkin was the perfect way this month! These have a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg with the perfect amount of pumpkin. 


Pumpkin Crepes

2 Eggs
3/4 cup Pumpkin Puree
1 cup milk
1 1/4 cup Water
2 Tablespoons Butter, melted
2 cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 teaspoons Pure Vanilla Extract
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg

Nutella
Whipped Cream
Fruit

1. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. In a large bowl whisk together the pumpkin, milk, water, and butter. Add in the rest of the ingredients and  whisk until smooth.

2.  lightly grease the griddle. Pour 1/3 cup of the batter onto the pan. Tilt the pan in a circular motion to spread the batter around. Cook about a minute on one side, or until it starts to look dry on the top then flip and cook about 30 seconds more. 

3. Warm up your Nutella and spread over your crepe. Top with whipped cream and fruit, fold and enjoy!

This is our family's favorite when we want a quick chili. It's really simple, super flavorful and healthy! Cumin, oregano, salsa, garlic and onion. I love it over rice to make into a more substantial meal. A delicious addition to your weeknight meal rotation!

1 Tablespoon Onion Powder
1/2 Tablespoon Cumin
2 teaspoons Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
2- 15.5 oz jar Salsa
2- 14 oz Chicken Broth
2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
2- 15 oz cans Black Beans, drained & rinsed
1- 15 oz can Kidney Beans, drained & rinsed
1- 15 oz can Pinto Beans, drained & rinsed
1- 16 oz can Corn, drained

In a large stock pot add in the turkey, onion powder, cumin, oregano, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until browned, stirring to break up the meat. Stir in the broth, salsa, sugar, beans, and corn. Heat to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with cheese, sour cream, over rice, or with tortilla chips!

I can't stop talking to people about this cheesecake! So I had to share it over on Reality Daydream!  The crust is buttery and cinnamony. The filling has a rich dulce de leche flavor. It is smooth, sweet, and creamy. The topping is white chocolate ganache sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and it makes me soooo happy!
