This is a delicious combination of flavors and it is healthy too.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These healthy and filling spinach crepes are unique. The crepes themselves are buttery and have a great texture. They're filled with a combination of spinach, barley, apple, dates, raisins, and a touch of sour cream. With the seasonings, it's sweet, savory, and peppery. Powdered sugar and honey add additional sweetness.
