Low Carb Spinach Pepperoni Crepe

So it's low carb in the Hines House, and if I eat one more egg...I may run into on coming traffic...So off to the store for a tasty dinner, with no eggs! In the produce isle, what do I see? A NO SUGAR 9 CARB CREPE! BAM! IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

Supplies
-Store bought crepes
-Turkey Pepperoni
-Shredded Cheese
-Spinach

...and that's all!


Directions
Heat your pan, saute your spinach, the amount will vary based on how much you want or how many you are making, the carb count is the same no matter what...0 carbs for the filling, 9 for the crepe!
Remove the spinach, place your crepe in the pan, use cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.  Heat add the spinach, cheese and pepperoni. Fold over the crepe side and plate!
It's so good and so easy...I think i'll try pizza crepes next!

White Chocolate Cherry Pecan Muffins



So I love the cool weather, mostly because I love to bake and won't turn the oven on when it's hot out. I recently was at Trader Joe's and saw a super yummy bag of dried cherries and my baking wheels started turning...Cherries...White Chocolate Chips and Pecans. Hope you like these, because if you don't my kids are more than willing to eat yours too!

 2 tsp baking powder 
1/2 tsp salt

1 egg 
1/4 c. vegetable oil 
1 c. milk
 1/2 c. dried cherries 
1/2 c. white chocolate chips 
1/4 c. chopped pecans 


  • Preheat oven to 400.
