Have you missed us?

We surely have missed you all!

I know it has been a while since our last post… so let me first apologize!

We are SOOOOOO SORRY!

Life has been really hectic here at Crêpe Royale… with the entering of the Amway Arena and a number of caterings and other events it has been hard to find our bearings… but I think we have finally found some!

If you haven’t had a chance to visit us at the Amway Arena then you need to stop reading… get dressed… and plan on making an appearance at one of the Orlando Magic’s Basketball Games!  Haven’t you heard we’re kicking serious bootie and I’m not just talking about the Magic!

Section 118 on the west side yours truly is stationed with our beautiful multi-functional cart!  Thats right and where else can you get a Fast, Fresh, Healthy Gourmet Crêpe made right before your eyes…. NOWHERE!

For those that are curious to see what we have been up to I hope the pictures and some of the video footage does us justice.

Just listen to all of the wonderful things some customers had to say!

Should Chocolate Milk Be Kept In Schools?

This question is being raised all over our schools due to some schools and activist groups who feel that chocolate milk should be banned from school cafeterias.

I know you may be looking at the screen asking yourself “WHAT?!?” Ban chocolate milk…. not possible.

I know when I was a child before choosing anything I would go straight for the chococlate milk. To this day I still love chocolate milk and so do my children.

I recognize the important role milk plays in our children’s lives today and so does Raise Your Hand For Chocolate Milk. Raise Your Hand For Chocolate Milk is a new campaign from the National Dairy Council and Milk Processor Education Program that is focused on promoting the benefits of keeping chocolate milk in schools and prevent them being banned as schools have done with sugary sodas and candies.

Top 5 Reasons to Keep Chocolate Milk:

• Milk Provides nutrients essential for good health and kids will choose it over regular milk, the majority of the time.

• Flavored milk contains the same nine essential nutrients as white milk and is a healthier alternative to soda and sugar juices.

• Drinking low-fat or fat free white flavored milk helps kids get the 3-daily servings of milk needed in their diets.

• Children who drink flavored milk meet more of the nutrient needs; do not consume more added sugar; fat or calories; and are not heavier than non-milk drinkers.

• Low-fat chocolate milk is the most popular milk choice in schools and kids drink less milk (and get fewer nutrients) in schools if it is taken away.

You can also sign the “Raise Your Hand For Chocolate Milk” petition to show your support to keep chocolate milk on the menu in schools nationwide.

CREPE ROYALE raises their hands! Do You???

What Is Dulce de Leche?

Story takes place at 8:30AM, Wednesday morning….

Customer: Oh My! That smells wonderful…

Me: Well of course it does, come get a fresh, healthy made right in front of you delicious crepe!

Customer: Do you have any sweet breakfast crêpes?

Me: We have a wide assortment of crepes, what’s your guilty pleasure?

Customer: OH MY! You have Dulce de Leche on your crêpes?

Me: Well, of course, you can get that with bananas and/or strawberries, powdered sugar, and fresh whipped cream.

Customer: Oooooooooo! and you have Nutella…. I think I’m in heaven.

Me: Wait till you try it and you’ll feel like you’ve died and gone to heaven…

Customer: Ok you’ve won… One Triple Threat with Nutella and Dulce de Leche… STAT!

This completes the story time section of this post…

Dulce de Leche or confiture de lait…. can’t really explain how delicious this creamy milk-based sauce really is. It is found as both a syrup and a caramel candy, it is prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a product that is vaguely similar in taste to caramel. This deliughtful dessert can be found in an assortment of classic desserts in the Argentine, Paraguayan, Chilean, Peruvian and Uruguayan cuisine.

The most basic recipe demands for slowly simmering milk and sugar, stirring almost constantly, although other ingredients may be included. As most of the water in the milk evaporates the mix will begin to thicken; resulting in the fabulous dulce de leche. The transformation that occurs in preparation is often called caramelization.

These are just sublime inside crêpes… Hint! Hint!

Absolutely delish!
