Nutella Hot Chocolate

Something warm and toasty for your winter mornings. In honor of World Nutella Day.


I've eliminated such things from my diet but that's no reason to stop inflicting my cravings upon my kids. So, if you don't mind, we're going to curl up here in our little corner of the world with some Nutella Hot Chocolate. 

Nutella Hot Chocolate

1 cup milk

2 tbsp Nutella

1 heaped teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder

a good pinch of sea salt

Combine everything together in a saucepan over medium-low heat & stir until combined and warmed through. How easy is that!

World Nutella Day started in 2007 as the Brainchild of Sara of Ms. Adventures in Italy and Michelle of Bleeding Espresso. Don't forget to check out the Nutella Day Flickr Pool or the Nutella Day Facebook Page for lots of inspiring posts by bloggers from around the world. Happy Drooling!

Drinks are on me: Mock Champagne

Fancy a drink? Need something summery to remind of you the warmer days up ahead?

Something bubbly? With a hint of apples, lemon and mint?  

Here you go: 

Mock Champagne


Juice from 5-6 lemons
6-8 tbsp sugar
2 Granny Smith Apples
2 liters unsweetened apple juice, chilled
1 liter sparkling water, chilled
handful of mint leaves, chopped


Stir the sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let cool.


Cut the apples into small chunks. 

Mix the juice, sparkling water and lemon syrup together in a large pitcher. Add the chopped apples and mint leaves. Serve.
