Beef & Spinach Stuffed Crepes with Garlic Cream Sauce

I know … it’s a mouthful. Literally. It seems like a lot of work but I promise it isn’t especially if you break it up. You can make the crepes, sauce and filling in the morning or the day before. Just heat and build crepes 

Chicken al Mojo de Ajo

Chicken al Mojo de Ajo

I grew up eating a dish that was one of my fathers absolute favorites! He would only make it occasionally so the dish was super special! It is called Camarones al Mojo de Ajo (Shrimp in a Garlic and Tomato Sauce). Oh my goodness I have the best memories of us partaking in this amazing dish. I actually had my first beer with this dish (I will not disclose the inappropriate age I was at the time). I wanted to make it so bad today but since its almost 3pm on a holiday and Im still in my pajamas… leaving my house is absolutely out of the question. So chicken drumsticks it is and guess what ? THEY ARE FABULOUS! Absolutely, fingerpicking, fan-freaking-tastic. Check it out…
