Inspiration is all around me

Being a food lover, I am always on the lookout for delicious food to eat and make. When I am at restaurants I sometimes try to figure out how I could duplicate a recipe at home. That was definitely the case at my recent visit to Rachel's Cafe and  Creperie in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Her delish pumpkin crepes are on my list to figure out. Fortunately for my readers who are tiring of my ranting and raving about either caramel or pumpkin, pumpkin season is soon over. I would love to try to get some pumpkin crepes made for Thanksgiving weekend though. Sometimes a good Google is enough to find a recipe to tweak, perfect,  and make your own!


Rachel's is a quaint little cafe--nothing fancy. Well, except the crepes!  My pumpkin crepe had a cream cheese/ cinnamon/ nutmeg filling and whipped cream on top. It would have been good even without the whipped cream. Crepes are so thin, that you don't get all that much flavor from the actual crepe. It's the FILLING that is so delish-- and the combination of the flavors in the crepe and filling. So the next time you're in Lancaster, PA, be sure and stop in and say "hi" to Rachel. She's not endorsing this at all, but when I find good food,  I'll direct you to it! ( And I will get busy trying to duplicate it and share the recipe with you )  I love to be inspired!
