Happy Thursday Everyone! Where has the week gone? I don't know about you but I love cheese, the creamier the better. So when I found this incredible recipe for Mushroom and Spinach Crepes with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Drizzle, it seemed to be calling my name. Did I mention I love spinach also? This recipe would be perfect for Sunday brunch or slightly modified in smaller portions for your next dinner party. Be sure to pair it with a crisp white wine. Enjoy!

1. Heat the oil in a pan.
2. Add the onion and saute until just starting to caramelize, about 5-9 minutes.
