Something Old, Something New

We have something "new" on our breakfast menu at our house and my kids are loving it! Although its not really new at all. Nutella was first made in Italy as an inexpensive way for people to enjoy chocolate. After becoming popular in Europe it came to the United States in 1983.We tried Nutella (chocolate hazelnut spread) and the kids think it is quite a treat. It is actually a pretty healthy option and my kids love it on toast or graham crackers. We even like to do a thin layer with a thin layer of peanut butter. You can't beat peanut butter & chocolate for breakfast.
My favorite part is it got Gracie who had decided she only wanted cereal for breakfast eating toast occasionally again.
Its a bit messy, but definitely kid approved.
I even found a similar product at Aldi and we are looking forward to trying that out.

(The Nutella company didn't ask me to write this post, but if they want to send me some for free we'd be happy to eat it. :)
