Stuffed Crepes With Eggs, Cheddar, Ham and Veggies

A great way to get your children cooking is by including them in the preparation of a weekend family breakfast or brunch. This can be a simple and fun way to involve the whole family. The more kids are exposed to cooking the more fun they will find it. The Registered Dietitians at Dairy Farmers of Canada have developed recipes that identify appropriate steps for parents and kids to divide and conquer meal preparation.
