IT WORKED!!!

and i gotta say, the saltiness of the bacon and the sweetness of the nutella/banana is a most excellent combo!

and the crepes were wicked easy

PICS

there's 1 slice of bacon, 1 tbsp of Nutella, and 1/3 of a banana (sliced) in that crepe.

Banana and nutella crepes are the best, an old ex worked at that crepe place at crossroads back in the day and got me hooked on them.

4/20/2010 9:57:02 PM

....but did they put a strip of crunchy bacon in there?

i'm not lying when i say the combination was kick-ass.

4/20/2010 9:57:39 PM

Wow thumper those look nommy! I'm glad you reported back!

4/20/2010 9:57:59 PM

i feel like they're not thick enough (hehe)

like, i shoulda been able to stuff them more. i guess i was worried the crepe would rip or whatever, so i didn't wanna put too much in them.

i will be making these again!

4/20/2010 9:58:43 PM

A thick cut piece of bacon does sound pretty delicious, just the right balance of salty/sweet.

That's where I worked... what was her name?


Oh and glad to hear they worked out good thumper -- next time try cream cheese and raspberry jam

Hey thumper son, mail me a bacon crêpe PLS.


DO NOT USE CREAM CHEESE THOUGH SON. CREAM CHEESE IS CREAMY AND IT IS USUALLY WHITE IN COLOR. THOSE TWO THINGS YIELD FOODS WHICH ARE DISGUSTING AND CAUSE PHYSICAL DISCOMFORT UPON VIEWING.



ALSO, GUESS WHAT I AM EATING RIGHT NOW SON?

WTF?! DID I JUST HEAR YOU SAY BBQ LAYS? NO, THAT'S WRONG SON. COMPLETELY WRONG.

IT'S A GOD DAMNED NUTELLA SOAKED PIECE OF TOAST!!!!!!

(I love how nutella gets in the corner of your lips and you wipe off the nutella with a napkin and it tastes good and stuff)

4/21/2010 8:12:30 AM

you don't know what you're missing... cream cheese and raspberry jam crepes are the bomb.com - especially when dusted with powdered sugar and put on a whole wheat crepe


ya know what's also a good crepe?


scrambled eggs, spinach/ricotta mix, cheddar and mozzarella cheese on a whole wheat crepe (with possibly some salsa on top)

4/21/2010 8:20:20 AM

Hmmm, I like this egg/spinach/ricotta/cheddar/MOZ crêpe idea son.


BTW, IT'S CRÊPE, NOT CREPE SON.

ACCENT CIRCUMFLEX, YOU LAZY SON.

4/21/2010 8:22:33 AM

it's also pronounced krep but I say crape

OH NO

4/21/2010 8:57:58 AM

SKEW MUH SON.

SKEW MUH.

THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

4/21/2010 8:59:06 AM

4/22/2010 1:03:26 PM

my nanners are turning brown already

i may have to do some more crepes for dinner tonight

4/22/2010 1:08:18 PM

if they're turning brown you should make some banana bread

4/22/2010 1:08:45 PM

With nutella on it.

4/22/2010 1:12:20 PM

I'm not a bread-making kinda girl. Especially since I technically can't eat bread

4/22/2010 1:13:04 PM

I accept donations

4/22/2010 1:14:44 PM

ooh

banana bread for saabson

NUTELLA NOT INCLUDED

4/22/2010 1:16:26 PM

But banana bread is more cake than bread.

I lurvs me some banana bread with walnuts.

4/22/2010 1:16:27 PM

ok so now i ask a stupid question, how hard is it to make banana bread?

4/22/2010 1:17:07 PM

easy as balls

4/22/2010 1:18:18 PM

Speaking of balls, can I elastrate you son?

Still looking for human volunteers.

4/22/2010 1:19:10 PM

EASY

Ingredients

* 1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
* 2 large eggs, at room temperature
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for preparing the pan
* 1 cup sugar
* 3 very ripe bananas, peeled, and mashed with a fork (about 1 cup)
* 1/2 cup toasted walnut pieces

Directions

Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl, set aside. Whisk the eggs and vanilla together in a liquid measuring cup with a spout, set aside. Lightly brush a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan with butter. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand-held mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter while mixing until incorporated. Add the bananas (the mixture will appear to be curdled, so don't worry), and remove the bowl from the mixer.

With a rubber spatula, mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the nuts and transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean. Cool the bread in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Turn the bread out of the pan and let cool completely on the rack. Wrap in plastic wrap. The banana bread is best if served the next day.

4/22/2010 1:19:54 PM

can i use extra bananas or will that make the bread not rise?

oh, and mama is coming over tomorrow night to cook some stuff for my daddy (having a root canal, needs soft foods) so i think we'll try our luck at banana and walnut bread

[Edited on April 22, 2010 at 1:22 PM. Reason : .]

4/22/2010 1:21:47 PM

extra bananas are fine

I also like to add big chocolate chunks

4/22/2010 1:23:28 PM

Bread for me!!!!

4/22/2010 1:40:59 PM

4/22/2010 1:42:06 PM

4/22/2010 1:45:13 PM

Yeah, I want nuts in it. Walnuts, pecan nuts, testicle, whatever really.

IT JUST BETTER NOT BE WHITE AND CREAMY.

4/22/2010 1:46:14 PM

how about chocolate chunks? i'm kinda committed to this idea now. no backing out. i'll make 2 loaves. yay

4/22/2010 1:46:43 PM

Yeah, I'll eat the chocolate chunks of any type.

4/22/2010 1:47:15 PM

I miss banana bread. I used to make it all the time, but then I switched to banana cookies to use up old bananas. And those rock, so there's no going back.

FOR GOOD MEASURE (LOOK IN THE BACKGROUND MY SONS).

4/22/2010 2:15:51 PM

I went and bought a Nutella jar because of this thread

I grew up with Nutella and have had it all my life, but I quit it 2 years ago and haven't had any since then. I love it to death, but it is just too high in sugar (~ 60% is sugar).

I made the original Nutella thread on TWW almost a decade ago!

When I was a junior in college, I once ate the whole jar by the spoon in 20 minutes... I was hungry

1 jar = 2,000 calories
110 g fat
35 g saturated fat
220 g carbs
210 g sugar

Finished it ^ today and bought another one!

4/25/2010 5:17:57 PM

First time I had it was in Germany 11 years ago... I ♥ the stuff!

4/25/2010 5:19:49 PM

Is it worth it? Never tried it..
