WW POINTS PER SERVING: 4

Note: This recipe appears in the WW in 20 Minutes Cookbook. I had so many strawberries in my refrigerator I wanted to try something new. I also wanted to use the remaining crepe mixture in my kitchen cabinet to I made  the crepes as well. This was such a delicious treat for breakfast and for dessert. The flavors of orange, lemon and strawberries go very well together. My mom really loved this dish as well ans said it was one of her favorites. Crepes can be enjoyed anytime of the day. You can use any crepe recipe with this dish and it will be delicious.
