Guys! I put up the Christmas Tree! EEEEK! It’s right behind me, all shiny and bright!
I’m also listening to Christmas Carols!! I’m SO excited! Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh… Oh, I feel complete!
Speaking of things that make me feel complete… let’s talk Crepes! I love ’em! My love for crepes is so deep, they have become one of my go-to comfort foods.
I called my mom the other day to ask her a question or two. I wanted to get the inside scoop on her crepes-recipe because she’s sort of a pro. Hands down, she makes a mean crepe! As we were talking and discussing her recipe, she says, “…and don’t forget the “pehm”…”. Now, before I continue, you need to know that my Mom has a really, really deep Macedonian accent. She rolls her R’s, and her “the” sounds like “duh”. She says things like, “honestly Gah” instead of “honest to God”, and “Arthur Itis” instead of arthritis.
So, naturally, I asked her to repeat herself and, again, she said, “don’t forget the PEHM!”. What is pehm, Mom? She shouts back, “the tall, yellow tube…PEHM!” Do you mean PAM?!? “Yes, Katerina! Pehm!!!” lol 😂
Now that we got that all sorted out, I do agree with her that if you want that perfect crepe, the one that won’t stick to anything BUT your lips, PAM is your girl. If you want your crepes to turn out right the first time, especially during the holiday season, PAM Cooking Spray is where it’s at. According to my mom, “Pehm” is all you need.

A couple of years ago I was going to serve baked cinnamon doughnuts for our Christmas breakfast, but the unthinkable happened. My doughnuts stuck to my NON-STICK doughnut pan. I was furious. I mean, you can imagine, right? It’s Christmas morning and my promised doughnuts turned into crumbs! For my second attempt I used PAM cooking spray and the doughnuts popped right out. Such a relief.
PAM has seven non-stick cooking sprays to help you succeed every time you cook or bake. With PAM on your side, this holiday season can be one filled with celebration, delicious food and success in the kitchen…the first time around!

I have never made crepes,but with this recipe and using Pam cooking spray, I just might be able to do it! I will also use Pam when making Mom’s Belgian waffles.
On pies,casseroles and bread lots of delicious recipes
i use Pam daily to make scrambled eggs. I also use it when making baked goods.
I will use it to make egg pancakes- they are like crepes but you put butter, sugar, and bacon and eat them for breakfast.
I use Pam every morning when I give a quick shot of it to my pan to cook my easy over eggs. Pam ensures the easy over part. In my holiday baking I use Pam for a quick spray to cookie sheets for my numerous batches of cookies. Also great for spraying measuring spoons and cups when measuring honey or molasses.
OH MY GOODNESS! I have recently become obsessed with mascarpone cheese (I bought it by accident to sub in a recipe that called from creme fraiche). I really want to make these crepes for breakfast tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe!
I use it in everything-esp. cooking meat!
those crepes are perfect and I love the Mascarpone cream!
I use Pam for lots of holiday baking, but my favorite use is for coating measuring cups and spoons when I’m measuring out something sticky (like peanut butter) for a recipe.
I plan on using Pam for baking my holiday cookies!
I use Pam on a lot of things like when I make eggs, muffins, pancakes etc.
Looks delish! Definitely using Pam for this and brownies for my hubby, and pretty much everything else since there’s always a can sitting next to my stove
These look SO yummy. I am going to have to try them.
I use Pam on everything–we use it every morning on our skillet when we make eggs. Thanks!
I would use it to make apple pie
I have three favorite Christmas quick breads that I make every year and I wouldn’t use anything else but Pam on my pans.
These sound amazing! I have yet to make crepes and I need to change that!
We are big users of Pam around here 🙂
Really both your crepes and your coffee mascarpone cream have me swooning. How perfect is this? I adore using mascarpone for creams and fillings and frostings and coffee is a favorite flavor. The crepes are perfect! And I adore the story of your mom 🙂
I grew up in a family that used PAM all the time but it just does not exist in France. But I ADORE all of my Le Creuset ware – the pots, pans, skillet and the casserole dishes. I dream of owning their pie plate!
I plan to use Pam spray to make delicious muffins for a holiday breakfast treat! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I really enjoy your crepe recipe (made several times already) and here’s another one I want to try! I use Pam all the time and I actually don’t know any other brand… 😀 We buy it from costco all the time. Would love to try this!
Your crêpes are gorgeous! Pam is so helpful in the kitchen!
Ah yes, the “Pehm”…love it! (And I use it with almost everything I cook.) These crepes look fantastic!
My dad had a thick accent too – I remember the woes of trying to comprehend certain words. 😀
These Crêpes look spectacular!! Love. Love. Love.
I’m going to use Pam when I try this crepe recipe. Also for all my holiday baking!
I love these crepes Kate. And I’m a huge Pehm girl myself. I keep them handy by the stove and always keep extra on hand. Magic in a spray can.
I will be using Pam this christmas for my cloverleaf rolls, my pie, and my brownies!
I use PAM for everything!
Mmmmm, girl, those crepes looks divine!! We sure know how to make perfect crepes 😉
I would use it to keep an omelet from sticking.
I use PAM cooking spray on my glass casserole for my delicious marshmallow crispies & to lower the fat in my quesadillas when I cook them in my cast iron skillet.
I use Pam spray all of the time. To grease baking dishes before cake and brownies and to coat all of my saute pans before using.
I have been using Pam for as long as I can remember. I use it for EVERYTHING! Baking, sauteing, cooking, etc. EVERYTHING!
It’s so much easier to spray fluted tartlet shells with PAM than to mess around with melted butter.
I use it on everything!
Since I bake pretty much nonstop during the holidays, I’d have to say “in all my baking.”
I bake with Pam all of the time and would love to use Pam for my Christmas baking!
I use Pam for all my baking. Love it. 🙂 These crepes are wonderful. 🙂
I literally use Pam for everything! Baking cookies, cakes, in my crock pot, for scrambled eggs, everything!
You had me at coffee mascarpone cream – love!
I love to bake but I hate to “butter” and “flour” the pans, so I just use pam to spray them and nothing sticks!
I would use PAM to make brownies and green tea cookies!
We use Pam in our dinners often. We like to make a stir fry or fish dinner.
I use pam for all my major cooking…..
What don’t I use Pam for is the better question! Aside from spraying pans, I spray measuring cups/spoons before measuring sticky ingredients.
I would use PAM to grease all my baking dishes when I make my Christmas goodies!
I use PAM Spray during the holidays every time I bake or roast. It helps with the clean up!
Of course Pam with be used when I make the creeps described above this holiday season
I also wanted to tell you in a separate comment that I love Pam and use it all the time. My mother also taught me how to make crepes and while I love eating them, making them isn’t nearly as much fun which is why I don’t make them as often as I’d like.
I use Pam to “grease” my pans for all the bars I’ll be making this holiday season.
Of course, Pam is the best for baking or Cooking but it is also great on squeaky door hinges. Carefully spray Pam on the hinge, have a paper towel ready to wipe up any over spray. Move door back and forth…..no squeak!!
That is an awesome tip!! Thanks SO much, Diane! 🙂
I use PAM for EVERYTHING, from crepes, cookies, and cakes, to even spraying it in the pan for my grilled cheese in lieu of butter. It’s amazing!
I use Pam for baking all of the time when I make Bundt cakes.
I’ll use it on any sort of baking dish that I use!
I’d use it for our winter comfort food casseroles.
I go through so much Pam for baking in my house!! My husband made waffles yesterday and they stuck to the waffle iron. He forgot the “Pehm!” 🙂
I would use Pam to make pumpkin pies.
I plan to use it to bake (I do a lot of baking) and fry our usual lunch menu of tilapia or chicken tenders. 🙂
I use PAM basically every time I need to grease a baking sheet
Honestly, I use PAM for everything…it is SUCH a lifesaver! Thank you for the giveaway 🙂
Pam is perfect for coating my baking dishes for winter casserole recipes!
I will use PAHM (PAM) to coat my baking dishes so that my potato’s don’t stick, my cakes come out with no problem. Wondering if it would work to prevent all that glorious food sticking to my thighs? Love your recipes 🙂
I just had crepes recently with ricotta and grated chocolate so I can imagine how tasty yours were. I still haven’t managed to pick up some espresso powder yet, which I was planning on already in order to make espresso panna cotta. I use Pam on a regular basis for baking. Shame I’m in Canada. 🙁
I spray my measuring cup before pouring in the sticky syrups.
I would use PAM for making scrambled eggs (and crepes of course)!
I love to use pam to make cookies and rice krispie treats!
I’d use the PAM when I make Funfetti Cake Batter Bars for the holidays!
I will use it for casseroles so nothing sticks to the dish. I make rice casserole and I works beautifully with that.
I love crepes! These look perfect, Kate!
I adore crepes as well! All types, sweet and savory! Pam makes making them such a breeze and would like to win this prize to help with making them this holiday season!
I use Pam when I make cookies.
I love Pam. I’m generally a “store brand” shopper when it comes to most things, but the generic cooking spray just isn’t the same–doesn’t work nearly as well as Pam!
I always use Pam and parchment for baking. It makes my life so much easier!
Ooooo these crepes look amazing! with that marscapone cheese, it makes anything taste good!!! I use pam just about every single day! I buy it in bulk so definitely will be using it to make pies!
I use PAM in my Crockpot — keeps the bread pudding from sticking.

I’d use it when baking brownies and other scrumptious treats. 🙂
