Today's Family Fridays is very special today. My beautiful friend Andy is sharing one of her family recipes with all of us!20150322_102637My name is Andy Rodríguez, I was born and raised in Guatemala. I really like to cook like my mom and my grandma. It runs in the family! I like to make dishes from all around the world. It's one of my favorites hobbies and I always enjoy cooking when I'm stressed. I also enjoy cooking for my friends, having them over, and having a great time together.I enjoy cooking with my mom, Marthalidia in my free time. We make a big lunch or a great dinner to share with the rest of my dad Gustavo, my sisters Sofia and Ana Paula, and the rest of my family. We are very close and we always do all kind of things together.This next family recipe is my famous French Crepes that my grandma Lidia thought me how to make.  I've loved French food ever since. This is one of my favorites recipes. I really like that you can put whatever ingredients you want inside! You can make them salty or sweet.IMG_3061Ingredients:For the mix1 ¼ cup of flour1 cup of milk1 cup of water1 egg6 tablespoon of butter (I used blue bonnet sticks)¼ teaspoon of saltFor the filling (salty)3 sweet peppers (red, orange, onion)1 big onion1 lb of mushroomsCheese (Mozzarella, Gouda, or your favorite)HamFor the filling (sweet)NutellaIce-creamYour favorite fruitsDirections:Melt the butter in a small pot.Then add all the ingredients in the blender, when the butter is melt add it to the mix and blend.-And then you have the mix ready for the pan, I always use a big pan because I like big crepes. Cook one side first before adding the filling ingredients, when the edges look cooked you can turn the crepe and add whatever you want, and then enjoy them!*For the salty crepes I always chop all the veggies and then used a little bit of vegetable oil to cooked them on a pan. I cook the mushrooms in a different pan because they have a lot of water, after that I add them to the others and add the ham in little pieces.
