I thought Crepes were for Fruit

Another fabulous meal at home, again thanks to the Food Network Magazine and this one even on a weeknight.  I am always looking for yummy, healthy, and quick food to make during the week.  (I have rules about eating healthy during the week so that I don't have to on the weekend, but more about that some other time).

I associate crepes with my childhood, only we didn't call them crepes, we called them rolled-up pancakes.  My dad used to make us rolled-up pancakes for Sunday brunch.  We slathered them  in maple syrup, cut them into rings, and make a sticky mess.  When I got a bit older rolled-up pancakes became blintzes filled with sweet cheese and covered with fruit.

Now for a new take on an old favorite, chicken.  Tonight we made crepes stuffed with shredded chicken, cottage cheese (as a substitute for ricotta because I didn't feel like going to Big Bird), and basil from last year's garden.  This was all topped with asparagus and shallots.
