ROUND TWO RECIPE: CHICKEN CREPES
Steps:
- Whisk together the baking mix, milk, eggs, and half of the butter until smooth. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat a 7-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush it with a little of the remaining butter. Pour 2 tablespoons of the batter into the pan, swirling it so the batter evenly covers the bottom of the pan. The first one may not work out so just eat it. Repeat with the remaining butter and batter, stacking the finished crepes onto a plate.
- Preheat the broiler. Put a crepe on your work surface and run about 2 tablespoons of the chicken and gravy down the middle. Roll the crepe up and place it, seam side down, into a baking dish. When you have eight assembled, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Separate the chicken legs from the thighs, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Coat the pieces with the flour, shaking off any excess and reserve the leftover flour. Put the oil into a heavy bottomed skillet and heat it over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown it on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and add the carrots, celery, onion, mushrooms, and corn. Sprinkle with the reserved flour, and give it a good stir. Add chicken broth and stir. Nestle the chicken pieces into the vegetables and add enough water to just cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Just before the cooking time is up combine the baking mix, poultry seasoning, and milk in a small bowl. Drop the batter by tablespoons on top of the simmering chicken leaving some room between the dumplings. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Put 1/2 of the onion in a large bowl and the remainder in another bowl. In the large bowl add the beef, bread crumbs, grill seasoning, Worcestershire sauce and the egg. Mix to combine everything well and form the mixture into 5 oval patties. Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until they are well browned, about 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove the steaks and pour off all but 2 tablespoons the fat. (The patties will not be cooked through and will finish cooking in the gravy.)
- Put the pan back on the heat, add the mushrooms, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the remaining onions, sprinkle in the flour, and cook for 2 minutes. Add the beef broth and bring it to a boil. Return the patties to the pan, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened and the steaks are cooked through, about 10 minutes.

EASY CHICKEN-STUFFED CREPES
This is a recipe that was given to me a couple of years ago. My hubby really loves it especially when I use rotisserie chicken as part of the filling versus just chicken breast. These crepes cook very quickly so don't wander too far from the stove while cooking. They also freeze very well!

APPLE BROWN BETTY CREPES
From the Crisco Website. Posting for safe keeping. I am including the crepe recipe but feel free to use your favorite crepe recipe. Times are approximate and do not include batter chill time. You can probably use any apple that cooks well. NOTE: the recipe on the website stated 1 crepe recipe but it makes 12 crepes but the apple brown betty recipe says it makes 6 crepes. You can always freeze any unfilled leftover crepes.

Steps:
- Make apple mixture:
- Toss apple with sugar and cinnamon. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook apple, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Cool.
- Make batter:
- Whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, rum, and oil, then whisk in flour and salt until batter is smooth.
- Make crêpes:
- Stir apple mixture into batter. Heat 1/2 tablespoon butter in a 7-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet, tilting skillet to coat evenly, and quickly separate any overlapping apple slices. Cook, shaking skillet occasionally to prevent sticking and reducing heat as necessary to avoid overbrowning, until crêpe begins to set, about 1 minute.
- Sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon sugar over crêpe, then flip. Tuck 1/2 tablespoon butter under crpe and cook over moderately low heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until bottom is browned and caramelized, about 2 minutes. Invert onto a plate.
- Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel and make more crêpes in same manner.
Tips:
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- If you don't have a crepe pan, you can use a regular nonstick skillet.
- To make the crepes ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
- To reheat the crepes, warm them in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
- If you don't have any apples on hand, you can substitute another fruit, such as pears, peaches, or berries.
- For a sweeter filling, add a tablespoon of sugar to the apples before cooking.
- Garnish the crepes with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or ice cream.
