Your New Favorite Dessert

I have always had a HUGE sweet tooth. One of my more recent Sweet Loves (past 5 years) is Nutella!! Seriously, who doesn't love Nutella? It's the perfect mixture of chocolate, hazelnut, and paradise in a little, tiny jar. I have a whole Nutella Board on Pinterest for crying out loud.

Nutella goes great with just about anything. I've tried it with bananas, pretzels, graham crackers, green apples, english muffins, Ritz crackers, a Nutella and jelly sandwich, in hot chocolate, on a crepe, I mean the list goes on and on. I have to admit, my favorite combination is with strawberries! I thought strawberries and chocolate were good, but Nutella beats it by a mile! I have a certain way I like to make my strawberries and Nutella, so here it is!

Chop the strawberries how ever you would like to eat them

Put the Nutella in a plastic bag, seal it, and let it sit in hot water. This picture was taken after it was already melted a little bit

When it's sitting you might need to mush it up, depending on how hard it was originally

Finally, cut a TINY piece of the corner of the bag, and drizzle it over your chopped strawberries.

Enjoy!! This is a pretty simple idea, but it's one of my favorites. Let me know how yours come out. I'd love to hear any of your Nutella creations, too!

Easy, Delicious Queso Recipe!

Okay, my friends. Since I love you so much, I'm going to share with you the recipe for the most wonderful queso I've ever had in my life. Found this recipe on Pinterest from this Blog Post. My family and friends be warned, from now on, this will be my contribution to potluck parties/get togethers/holidays...you name it.

Mmmm! Get in my belly!

*1 can of Rotel Cilantro and Lime tomatoes, blend them!
*16 oz of Velveeta Queso Blanco
*1/2 cup of Cheddar Cheese
*Fresh lime juice to taste.

I used half a lime and I couldn't really taste it so I might squeeze the whole lime next time.

Cut up the Velveeta into chunks, and combine everything in a microwave safe bowl and nuke it...mine took about 5 minutes maybe? I wasn't really keeping track of the time, I was just doing it 30 seconds at a time and stirring.

I'd cut the Velveeta into 1/2 inch chunks next time, I think since they were so big, it took longer.

Tom loved it, but he did say that he wished there was a little less of a kick. The only spice I added was from the tomatoes, so maybe if you don't like spicy, you would use a cup of cheddar? Just some suggestions.

If you have any questions or something to say, PLEASE leave a comment!
