nutella. it's what's for dinner.

Mmmm, Nutella. No really, mmmmmmmm...Nutella! Nutella is a hazelnut spread that has a hint of cocoa in it and resides on the shelf next to other nut spreads that include peanut butter, almond butter, even cashew butter. When I was a kid, there was Skippy, Jif, and maybe a store brand here and there, but no Nutella that I can remember. We always got Jif creamy when what I really wanted was the Smucker's Goober Grape that my mom never let me have. When I had my first apartment in college I swear one of the first things I did was go to the grocery store to buy Smucker's Goober Grape and Wonder classic white bread, run home to make a PB&J sammy, and then I called to thank my mother for never letting me have it as a kid - it was super sweet and the peanut butter was sub-par in my opinion!

But I digress...this is really about my love of Nutella. If I had a choice I would eat Nutella for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. For breakfast I would spread it on a fresh baguette, for lunch it would be a Nutella and banana sandwich, and for dinner I would...I would...I would make something fabulous! Okay, I'll admit, I'm stumped on what to make for dinner with Nutella. I figured since I was having this problem you probably were too. So I've scoured the internet and found some amazing Nutella for dinner recipes. Here you go.

Oh and if you're feeling snack-y at around 3:30 in the afternoon, what could be better than my favorite: a little Nutella spread between two Wheat Thins crackers? The saltiness of the cracker with the sweet nuttiness of the Nutella. Nothing could be better, I tell you. Nothing. 

If you have a favorite Nutella recipe (savory or sweet) please let me know. Because sharing is caring. Especially when it comes to Nutella.
