In this recipe, chestnut flour makes very unique crêpes that happen to be both gluten free and free of wheat. The smoky, nutty flavor of chestnut flour complements savory and sweet fillings. Try them stuffed with warm gorgonzola and walnuts, topped with vanilla ice cream and roasted hazelnuts. Delicious! Serve or use immediately, or cool and refrigerate until needed. Cooked crêpes will stay fresh in the refrigerator for two days. You can refrigerate the batter for up to 24 hours.

Heat vegetable oil in an 8-inch crêpe pan over medium-high heat. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the prepared pan and immediately rotate the pan to spread batter out in a thin layer to cover the entire surface. Cook until edges are browned and easily loosened with a spatula, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

Use your air fryer and ranch dressing mix to add a little zip to your favorite cheese crackers, and give them a completely different flavor profile. The spice combinations are endless but I've found these ranch-flavored ones are always the biggest hit of the party.
Baked Ziti Alfredo with Cajun Chicken
To me, this baked ziti is the ultimate comfort food. The spiciness of the Cajun chicken is complemented by the smooth creaminess of the Alfredo sauce. Delicious with a nice glass of white wine.
