Full Of Crepe

Crepes might be sold everywhere in Paris, but they are pretty hard to find in Bethlehem. This is why I was delighted to hear about Full Of Crepe—a tiny little creperie that is just a stone’s throw away from Lehigh’s campus. 

Although I was a little disappointed that an attractive Parisian man wasn’t making my crepe, the woman that did make it did a phenomenal job. The batter was light and airy, and she put just the right amount of toppings.

Naturally I chose a sweet crepe called “Nuts and Berries,” which is Nutella and fresh strawberries (they offer raspberries if you prefer), but I was leaning towards getting a savory one after reading their extensive list of options. The girl in front of me ordered the “Turkey Lurkee,” which is turkey, mozzarella, spinach, tomato, and pesto mayo drizzled with balsamic reduction. The ingredients looked so fresh and it was all folded into the perfectly golden crepe so nicely that my mouth was watering.

Standing in Full Of Crepe’s tiny doorway made me think to myself that the best part about it is how undiscovered it is. People say it’s one of Bethlehem’s best-kept secrets, and I would have to agree. Little did I know at the time that I was standing behind Full of Crepe’s best customer—a 5 year old girl who makes her mother get her a crepe for lunch every single day and even decided to spend her birthday there as well. 

Now that I know how amazing these crepes are, this little girl is going to have some competition to keep her title as best costumer.To visit the Full of Crepe Facebook page for a better look, click here

Slutty Brownies

After seeing countless pictures of Slutty Brownies on Instagram and Pinterest, I had to try them out for myself. Even though there are 3 components to this sinfully delicious treat (cookies, Oreos, and brownies), they are one of the easiest things I’ve ever baked.

When my mother asked me what I was baking and I replied slutty brownies, she looked at me like I had six heads—why did I just refer to my brownies as being ‘slutty’? I figure the reason is because sometimes you are just not perfectly content with one of these goodies like Oreos, and need at least two more things like brownies and cookies to fully satisfy your sweet tooth. 

While some people might think the combination of these three things will be overwhelmingly sweet and taste gross, it does not. Who ever thought of this idea was a genius because I could not stop eating them.

To make this trendy treat you will need a 9 x 9 inch baking pan lined with foil. Then get two packages of Nestle Tollhouse chocolate chip cookie dough and cover the bottom of the pan with it to make the first layer (you can make your own cookie dough if you’d like, but buying it pre-made makes it go a lot faster). For the second layer, place Oreo’s side-by-side covering the cookie dough. Then make brownies from whatever mix you like and pour it on top of the Oreos and cookie dough for the third layer. Bake this in a 350-degree oven for about 40 minutes and your done! Enjoy!
