My Favorite Nutella Recipes

 
Nutella never misses in my pantry and when it does, it will be an emergency trip to the store. I guess I can say I am addicted to this delicious chocolate hazelnut spread. I add Nutella into almost everything I eat for breakfast or as a snack.
I would like to share some of my quick and delicious recipes with Nutella. These are must have for all the chocolate addicts out there ;)

Nutella - Banana Panini

3 ripe bananas, sliced
12 slices whole-wheat bread

Place the bananas in a bowl and mash until smooth.
Place the slices of bread on a flat surface and spread each slice with some of the hazelnut spread. Spread the mashed banana over 6 of the slices and combine the slices to make 6 sandwiches.
Heat the grill to medium-high.
Spread 1 side of each sandwich with some of the butter and place on the grill, buttered-side down. Grill until golden brown. Spread the remaining butter on the bread facing up, flip over and continue grilling until golden brown. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with the confectioners' sugar. Eat immediately.

DIY (Do It Yourself) Headboards

Since bed is usually the first thing you see when you walk into the bedroom, it  is the most important piece of furniture. The headboard is the focal point, which sets up the style, mood, impression, look and comfort in the bedroom. We spent a lot of time in the bedroom, and therefore should make sure it is a place we love to be in. Every bedrooms' look depends on the placement and the look of the bed. If the bed looks good, the rest of the room is good to go. Bed without headboard is incomplete.

Good news is, headboard can be easy and fun DIY project ;) Let's get inspired!
