Divine

  Divine is defined as something of God, something that is sacred. Life has often been quoted as a divine plan where we are the keepers of destiny. Discovering divinity in our everyday life is what can ignite us to finish the undone pieces.  Encourage ourselves to be more understanding and to see divinity in all people. The more we are bonded to God, the more free we become!

  " We are unfinished and perhaps a little scrappy but within us all is a beautiful piece of work" Tawnya(me!)
 
I came across this recipe and it looked good. I'm always trying to find good summer recipe with little cooking cause it's so dang hot down here.

Veggie Crepes:




1/3 cup reduced-fat sour cream


1/2 cup chopped fresh chives, divided, plus more for garnish


3 tablespoons low-fat milk


2 teaspoons lemon juice


3/4 teaspoon salt, divided


1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil


2 cups chopped zucchini


1 1/4 cups chopped green beans


1 cup fresh corn kernels


1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese


1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese


1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper


4 9-inch “ready-to-use” crepes, or make your own
Preparation


Stir sour cream, 1/4 cup chives, milk, lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl until combined. Set aside.


Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini, green beans and corn and cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to low; stir in ricotta, Monterey Jack, the remaining 1/4 cup chives, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.


To roll crepes, place one on a piece of parchment or wax paper (or leave it on the piece of plastic separating the crepes in the package). Spoon one-fourth of the vegetable-cheese mixture (about 3/4 cup) down the center of the crepe. Use the paper (or plastic) to help you gently roll the crepe around the filling. Place the crepe seam-side down on a dinner plate. Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling. Serve each crepe topped with 2 tablespoons of the reserved sauce and more chives, if desired.


Tips & Notes


Tips: To remove kernels, stand a cob on its stem end in a bowl and slice them off with a sharp, thin-bladed knife.


“Ready-to-use” crepes are fast and convenient. Look for them in the produce section of the market or near refrigerated tortillas.
