Sunday SPECIAL-Berry Blitze (Crepes)

Our church schedule has changed from the late afternoon to the morning and the last two weeks have been lovely. We are home from church by noon and have the rest of the day to just be together as a family. Today we watched Little House on the Prairie (several episodes!) and played games. It was so relaxing and nice. It almost felt like Christmas all over again. So, to end the wonderful day, well,  WONDERFULLY, I wanted to make a special treat for dinner and I hit the jackpot with this one. It was a BERRY special way to end a very special day.

P.S. I know that many of you are trying to make better health choices for the New Year. Me too. This recipe isn't exactly great for you (hello SUGAR!) but it is fun to splurge every once in a while! So, just eat one like I did, and try not to lick out the filling and sauce bowls! YUM!
