Nutella

Check out these YUMMY NutellaGrams!! My son loves graham crackers and he has a new found passion for Nutella! What a great combination. Basically all you to do is break up your graham crackers, dip them in Nutella and sprinkle on a little crushed pecans or other nuts. You could even use sprinkles or leave them be, just with the Nutella! It’s a perfect after school snack!

I’m always up for any kind of quick and easy, yet healthy, snack options for my family! My little guy is just so picky, so I really have to think outside of the box to get him to eat certain things. If it doesn’t involve peanut butter, some type of cracker, bacon or pizza…he’s generally not too interested! I know!!! Drives me wonky! So, anytime we find a winner — momma’s happy! I found this awesome idea at eMeals.com! They are my go to meal planning program and have been for a few months now!

I do often gush about eMeals and their app which is so easy to use. It makes my shopping list for me each week and helps me out with the “brain freeze” I often get while making up a menu plan. I get in a rut, having the same old thing every week. Since using eMeals, we’re always trying new things and have found several new dishes that we love!
