is my new favorite thing. My brother got me hooked, at least for now. I know it’s a phase, but this stuff is really good. My brother and I ate it so much that we finished a jar in like 2 days. Now there are 2 in our house. One gluten free, and one not. It’s just easier that way, especially when we’re going through it like crazy. Yes, I must say that I have eaten it off a spoon, however, I also have an awesome suggestion today. Yeah, I’m not just informing you about my latest obsession (if thats the right word…), instead, I’m giving you an awesome after-school snack.
I’ll give you a clue. It has no bread products. Whatsoever. (Unless you used the non-GF Nutella jar…) Also, in my mind, at least, it’s healthy for you. And me. Oh, and most importantly, it’s got hazelnuts and cocoa. Both, obviously in the Nutella…
Anyways, my likely not-so-genius after school snack invention involving Nutella and no grains is Nutella on Apple. I just took a delicious looking gala apple from the fridge, cut it up into sections, and got a spoonful of Nutella. It’s my new snack. And it tastes good. And, you (or your child) gets to eat an apple.
I realize that this could be used as a trick to get kids to eat fruit, and I fully support that. One of my favorite snacks as a kid was those canned pineapple segments, in the juice, with chocolate chips sprinkled on top. Turns out, it was just a way for mom to get us to eat more fruit. It sure worked, as I’m still talking about it…
Anyways, I love fruit, and I love nuts, and I love chocolate. So this is the best of all worlds. And, pre-diagnoses, I liked those Bueno chocolate bars, and the ferrero rocher balls, so eating Nutella is my way of getting the idea of those, while still staying gluten free!
Thats about all for today,
xoxo

MMMMMMMMNutellaMMMMMMMMMMM
That’s it, I’m closing the shop and walking over to the supermarket for a jar.
Gala apples are my absolute FAVE.
Never tried Nutella. Might have to!
Nutella is one of the faves at my house. If you can make a GF crepe I suggest making one and spreading it with nutella while it is still warm…yummy!!
Put the Nutella in a pot, add some heavy cream, but not too much, warm lightly, makes the worlds best fondue. Use Strawberries, Bananas, Kiwi or any fruit you love and dip it…..
In Europe we grew up on Nutella, as the maker thought it may be a good marketing idea to tell parents to give Nutella to us kids before school as an “energy” boost.
