Nutella Hazelnut Spread Review
About
Nutella is a tasty hazelnut spread that contains simple quality ingredients such as skim milk and a hint of cocoa.
Each jar 13 oz jar of Nutella contains more than 50 hazelnuts.
Nutella does not contain any hydrogenated oil or trans fat.
It is low in sodium compared to other popular nut butters.
Nutella contains no artificial colors or preservatives.
My family have been long time fans of Nutella. We eat it often on breads and graham crackers. It's one of our best options for J who has a peanut allergy. The spread does not contain peanuts or peanut ingredients, nor does the product come in contact with peanuts during manufacturing. Nutella spread is rich and creamy and tastes delicious.
We were thrilled when we had the opportunity to host a Nutella party. We recieved the following in our party kit
26.5oz Jar of Nutella® hazelnut spread
Nutella® spread sample packs and coupons for guests bags
Nutella® spread guest bags
Nutella® spread tumbler mugs
Nutella® spread spreader
Nutella® spread tip cards for guests Recipe ideas for your Nutella® Breakfast Bar Party activities: Everyday Breakfast Tips and Trivia
I took suggestions from the Nutella spread Breakfast Bar for my friends to try Nutella on different items. I had bagels, a variety of fresh fruit, crusty french bread, waffles, and tortillas. The overall favorites were Nutella dipped strawberries and the Nutella breakfast roll ups. The roll ups were super easy to make and delicious. Simply spread Nutella on a whole wheat tortilla and sprinkle with dried cherries and chopped apricots, roll up and eat. This can be done with a variety of fruit. I used cranberries in mine because I love them and already had a bag on hand. The tartness of the cranberries and sweetness of the Nutella made a fabulous combination! (Despite my terrible picture taking skills)
My friends were excited to receive a goodie bag of Nutella products when they were leaving. Their bags included sample packs of Nutella, coupons, spreaders, a tumbler mug and breakfast tips and info card.
You can find Nutella nationwide at grocery, mass merchandiser, warehouse and club stores. The suggested retail price is $3.49 for a 13 oz jar or $6.49 for a 26.5 oz jar. To learn more about Nutella visit www.nutellausa.com

Primrose Dance Off
I try my best to keep my kids active, both indoors and out. They do a pretty good job feeding off of eachother running around and climbing on furniture. One thing they both have always loved to do is dance.
What if you had a way for the whole family to move their bodies, create lasting memories and support a great cause all at the same time? All you need to do is to take part in the 2011 Primrose Schools® Family Dance-off!
Families nationwide can record a 30-second video of their family's best dance moves and upload it to http://www.familydanceoff.com/. They will compete to win amazing prizes, including the grand prize of $5,000 and a $30,000 donation to their local Children's Miracle Network Hospital®! Not only is dancing good for your body, it's good for your community, with Primrose Schools donating a total of $65,000 to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals in the top three winning families' hometowns.
How cool is that??
Like I already said, both my boys love to dance so it didn't take much to convince them to get up and get moving! Sometimes L dances to his own beat, meaning there's no music playing but he just feels like moving.
To get our groove on, we received a Primrose Family Dance-off Party Kit that included:
A CD of great music to get your family to boogie
Primrose t-shirts - dance costumes for the children
A gift card to purchase healthy food for the party
A FLIP Camcorder to record your dancing memories
Themed recipes, games and activities
This is the video we shared
Don't you wish you had their energy?!?

JELL-O Temptations - At Home Kits
I recently told you about Temptations by JELL-O cups and now you can make them at home. These no bake desserts can be whipped up in minutes, literally! You can choose from 3 delicious flavors
- Boston Creme Pie
- Chocolate Mousse Decadence
- Chocolate Truffle Indulgence
Each mix includes two packets, one you mix with milk to create a creamy sweet filling and another for a rich smooth topping. Each mix has only 150 calories or less per serving.
The Boston Creme Pie was my favorite. I'm already a fan of the cake version and this dessert did not disappoint. The entire dessert took 30 mins and that included refrigeration time. I whisked in my milk, poured the mix into a dish and topped it with the chocolate packet. I was a little worried the topping was going to be thin and runny but after a little bit of time in the fridge it formed a firm shell topping. The filling was smooth and creamy and the chocolate shell melted in my mouth. It was delicious and tasted so much like a regular Boston Creme Pie cake minus most of the calories but none of the flavor.

CSN Stores Review - Pizza
I'm at it again! I had another opportunity to work with CSN Stores and once again they did not disappoint.
We love pizza! Honestly, who doesn't?! My kids are big fans and eat it every chance they get. Lately, it's gotten harder and harder to go out to restaurants as a family because the boys are too wild and being 9 months pregnant I just don't have the energy to chase them down. I realized one day how easy and fun making pizzas at home are. The boys love playing with the dough and choosing their own toppings. We all like a thin crispy crust for our pizzas and I could never get it quiet right. There's just something about those fancy brick ovens that make a delicious thin and crispy crust that is too hard to copy at home. I tried different dough recipes, tricks, and pizza pans. None of them came out quiet right.
While browsing CSN Stores' thousands of products, I came across a pizza stone. Duh?! Why hadn't I thought of a pizza stone before? I've tried several pizza pans, with and without holes and none of them gave us the crisp crust we love. I read reviews and figured why not try it.
I ordered this Pizza Stone and the matching Pizza Paddle. The pizza stone went into the oven to preheat while we made our pies. I rolled out the dough onto the pizza paddle and let the kids choose their toppings. BBQ chicken pizza is our favorite. The dough easily slipped off of the paddle onto the preheated pizza stone in the oven (please ignore the shape of the pizza, I need a little more practice moving it from paddle to ston). About 20 mins later we had a delicious, crispy thin crust pizza! The stone makes a world of difference when trying to get that crispy crust. J even said it was his new favorite pizza!
CSN Stores was so easy to work with when ordering my products. I received order and shipping confirmations and my items arrived in a very timely manner. I have worked with this company on several occasions for a variety of products and have always had a wonderful experience.
Next time you're online looking for...well just about anything, make sure you stop by CSN Stores first.
