The Nutella crepe will always have great sentimental value to me and the Mr. Once upon a time, when things in life were not going so well for me, and the Mr. was not yet the Mr. but just a good friend, he took me on a surprise trip to the beach in the middle of the night. At the beach, we went to the most amazing little cafe and ate big, light, crepes filled with luxurious Nutella.

I've had the intention of recreating that meal for quite a while. I buy Nutella (more like rationalize buying Nutella "Oh I'll make crepes!"), and somehow it's all gone by the time I get around to making it into a meal (whoops!).
But this time I had great sucess! I got up on Sunday and made the Mr. promise to not come look in the kitchen while I was cooking. When I brought the plates out the sentimental look on his face was priceless, and we sat there on Sunday morning eating breakfast and remembering the beach from so long ago.
