Asparagus Crepes Recipe #CansGetYouCooking

By
Jennifer

When I was growing up, one of my favorite recipes as a kid was Asparagus crepes. It was always a special treat when she made the crepes because it was not very often. The reason is the crepes take a lot of time and patience to make which is something a lot single moms don’t have. (The time, not the patience…I think they all learn to have that sooner or later). I asked my mom where she got the recipe and all she could remember was that it was from some magazine over 35 years ago.

If any one knows which one, I would love to know! We always used canned asparagus of the longer variety. She used just the tips, not tips and stalks. I am sure you can use them as well, but the recipe will not come out as “pretty”.

Did you know that 73% of Americans throw away spoiled fruits and vegetables on average two times a week. Cans help make sure nature’s bounty doesn’t go to waste. I cannot even begin to tell you how much food I throw away because it has gone bad. I shop for meals a week at a time, and sometimes I just don’t have the time to make what I had planned, something else comes up, or I have even forgot what I was originally planning an item for. When you buy canned food, there is no need to worry if your food will spoil anytime soon!

  1. I have a meatless mexican lasagne using canned corn, canned beans, canned tomatoes and canned chilies. It’s pretty dang good!

  13. Awesome recipe! It combines two of my favorite things – crepes and asparagus! It’s a nice way to change up my typical dinner meal plans too.

  24. My husband loves asparagus, I’ll have to make this one for him. I love the convenience of canned foods, I just wish they weren’t always putting salt and sugar in everything.
