Ode to Nutella
I’ve got a little something we’ll call “artistic expression” for you today. Ahem…
~An Ode to Nutella~
Nutella, Nutella, I love you. I do.
I crave you, in morning, and all the day through.
Your silky smooth texture, your rich nutty bite,
I cannot resist you, try as I might.
On biscuits, bananas, berries and bread,
On apples and crackers I spread and I spread.
In muffins, in pie, in custard and cake,
The more you are present, the more that I bake.
Nutella, if only, you knew how I felt,
You cause me to stumble and loosen my belt.
Yet, rounder than ever, you call to my lips
Nutella, forever, will live on my hips.
Yes… I AM a big nerd. How could you tell?
It’s a little more Dr. Suess than Hemingway or Yeats, but I can live with that.
The point is, Nutella is an inspirational food. Today I’ve put together a list of Nutella-licious Treats that are sure to be much more inspiring than my poetry.

I just went through a huge jar and have vowed to keep away from it for awhile. Okay, maybe one more jar, so that I can perfect that Nutella smoothie recipe … one *large* jar.

Ha! Oh, but it’s made with skim milk, remember? So it’s totally healthy, right?! I bet those cupcakes are like 100 calories!

LOVE nutella. I can never get enough of it. I usually have it on a toast with a smear of coconut butter. That combo is literally to-die-for!
