Blueberry Crepes

I couldn't help myself to BOGO blueberries this past week. In an effort to use them all up I looked for some new ways to use them. I was planning on making crepes for breakfast while the hubby was off, so I decided to combine my efforts. The blueberry sauce was originally from a pancake recipe, and the crepe recipe is a previous post (link below). These were thoroughly enjoyed and will make a reappearance in our house soon.
