Nutella: Heaven on Bread

by beth on January 15, 2010

Oh, Nutella let me count the ways I love thee.

Seri­ously, I could eat you on a slice of plain bread, on a peanut but­ter sand­wich, with fruit, and sim­ply off a spoon. Prob­lem is my jeans don’t seem to appre­ci­ate the heaven on bread that you offer to me. Ah, but all things in mod­er­a­tion my love. All things in moderation.

Hmm…I’m real­iz­ing that this post seems a lit­tle bizarre. I blame the Nutella. It has a hold over me.

It’s not the lack of a con­sis­tent night’s sleep in…Oh…I don’t know EVER!! Or at least in the last SEVEN years. Maybe it’s because of the child whose foot is press­ing against my rib cage or push­ing a hand against the side of my face. Or maybe it’s because even when all my chil­dren are nes­tled asleep I have images of Nutella danc­ing in my head.

Darn you Nutella. Darn you.

If you haven’t seen my post-it notes this past Tuesday, you have to go and look. I wrote one (well, two) to Nutella. Evil. Absolutely EVIL. You are not alone. I just finished a jar yesterday. SO not the way to start the new year! Ah, well.

I have heard quite a few people rave about the goodness of Nutella, yet I have never tried it. It is going on my grocery list this week!

I put it on waffles for my boys. They are horrible breakfast eaters, so this is a bit of a con to get them to eat.

I don’t have any real illusions, though, about it being that “healthy.” I think that commercial is a little misleading with the woman talking about its health benefits.

But, oh so good… ;)

I looove Nutella. I bought a jar this afternoon and hid it so I don’t have to share. With a husband and three kids, I have to hide stuff like that.

I discovered Nutella at 7 years old at my Italian friend’s house and ran home exclaiming I was in heaven. I burst through the door telling my Anglo-uninitiated mom that Laura’s family had this chocolate that you could spread on bread!!! My equivalent of the moon landing :) Loved it ever since. Now I live in a household of teen boys, and a man who eats like a teen boy- and they can devour a large jar of Nutella, with spoons, in one sitting. And they’ve done this many times…

Oh my, the last time I had Nutella was in Europe about 20 years ago. You can bet your boots, I’m heading out today to go get me some. Thanks for the wonderful memories. I mean, who needs to fit into a size 12 anymore.
God Bless,
Cathy

I recently discovered Nutella. I’m in agreement with you.
