Crêpe Suzette
Sometimes the classics are the best, and when we’re talking about a Crêpe Suzette, this bad boy wins out every time. Make this staple your own by creating a tropical twist – sliced mango, tropical juice or low-fat Greek yogurt instead of the traditional orange, or make it boozy with a splash of Cointreau.

Pancake Pizza (you choose your toppings)
Believe it or not today is also national pizza day, so double reason to eat your body weight in delicious carbohydrates. To mark the union of these very special days, there’s only one appropriate celebration – pancake pizza. The premise is super simple, treat your pancake base like a pizza base – lather it in tomato sauce, add your toppings, sprinkle with multiple types of cheese, then bake. Simply, beautiful, scrumptious.
