World Nutella Day

I heard of Nutella for the first time, about a year ago. I had watched some program about International Chefs cooking in fancy restaurants, but still having to offer condiments that are below Foodie par. There was an Italian chef in California who offered Nutella on toasted baguette slices. He said, "Nutella to Italy is what Peanut Butter is to America." I was intrigued.

I hunted down a small jar and asked my family to try it with me. We were instantly hooked! If you're not familiar with Nutella, it's ground hazelnuts with cocoa powder mixed together.

Ms. Adventures in Italy is hosting this delicious event and there's loads of mouth watering recipes all using Nutella. I highly recommend checking out her AWESOME blog. She taught me the meaning of Food Porn.

I discovered Nutella at Aldi (independent grocery store that carries European brands) when I was pregnant with my daughter. I brought some home and decided it was perfect to spread on graham crackers, and went through a jar in about two days!

Nutella is to food, what Love is to emotions.

But I cannot eat it.

First ingredient? Sugar. So much for us sugar watchers!! But I do remember it fondly and with a distinct sense of loss… **

That’s beautiful, Tim, and it’s so true.

A simple spoonful of Nutella sings deep inside the Chocolate lover’s soul.

Ok all you dieters… there is a sugar free substitute for nutella called:
TWIST Sugar Free Hazelnut Chocolate Spread
I buy it online at: Netrition.com
trust me, it’s terrific if you need sugar free. I use it as topping on my s/f cheesecakes and spread on Murrays s/f cookies. yummmmm
