Main Dish Crepes
Crepes
1 C flour
1 1/2 C milk
2 eggs
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt
Mix with whisk and cook. Makes 14-16.
Filling
1 C frozen peas
1 (15oz) can of cream of mushroom soup
1/2 can of milk (reduce or add till you reach desired consistency)
1/2 C sour cream
1 C cheddar cheese
Mix. You can add shredded chicken if you'd like, this will also thicken the consistency a bit. Recipe is forgiving so you don't need exact amounts. They are a tad runny/thin so I usually make enough for everyone to have a few.
Spread filling onto crepes and roll up. Place in 9x13 greased pan. Top with cheese and left over filling. Bake at 300 for about 20 minutes.

Pie Crust (easy)
PIE CRUST
*most people who know me know that I hate pie crust, both making and eating but I can't avoid them all together because others like many dishes that require pie crust. This is the easiest and best tasting I have found...you can't do any real decoration with it though :(
9 in deep pie pan
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
*2 teaspoons white sugar - use for a dessert pie, if for something else then use less sugar
*1 teaspoon salt - don't add this for a dessert pie but add it for a savory dish like quiche or chicken pot pie
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons milk
Toss all the ingredients into a 9in deep pie pan. Mix them together with a fork and press into the sides of the pie pan. Yes! That easy. Bake for 15 minutes at 400 if you need it pre-baked

3 chicken bouillon cubes
1/4 C brown sugar
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 C ketchup
2 Tbsp vinegar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
2 C chicken, diced and cooked
1 C green pepper, sliced in strips
