Re: Crepes
found a recipe, and tried it this a.m., and they were pretty good.
l egg, alittle splenda (I used two drops of liquid splenda), mix.
Spray cooking spray in small skillet, add egg mixture. Don't stir egg once in pan, cook, then flip.
I did two different kinds, both I spread about 1/2 teaspoon of cream cheese on them, with the crepes hot, it melts really easy. One I put blueberry jam (made with splenda 0 carbs), the other I sprinkled cinimmon/splenda on and rolled.
Not sure which one I enjoyed more.Lora

Re: Crepes
Just an fyi, the jam isn't allowed until the berries rung, not sure if you are in induction still?
Whipped cream and cinnamon would be good too, and induction friendly.
You could also add a tbsn of flax to the egg to make them more breadlike.Jen, 39, F

Re: Crepes
I'm no longer in my two weeks of induction, but I still keep my carbs between 20-25 a day since I still would like to loose another 15-20 pounds (have already lost 30 over the last couple of years.Lora

Re: Crepes
I also like them with a tsp of whipped cream (unsweetened) added to the scrambled egg instead of the splenda. Stuff with a mixture of crabmeat, baby shrimp, parmesan cheese and cream cheese (I'll also add crushed red peppers 'cuz I like it spicy). MMMM!

Re: Crepes
Lora, as Sadie147 said, jam would not be 'legal' till you reach the berries rung of the main weightloss phase of Atkins (Ongoing Weight Loss/OWL).
According to the list in DANDR when you start to add non-induction foods you will do better if you add them in the order given, rather than just adding your own choice of different foods.
As you have another 15-20 pounds to go it is possibly a good time to start climbng teh OWL carbohydrate ladder to allow you to move to the third phase (premaintenance) when you still have 5-10 pounds left to lose.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!
