Nutella Cookies, Yes Please!

I am obsessed with www.pinterest.com.  It is a great waster of time, that leaves you feeling inspired and with a plethora of new ideas!  <3 it!

Last week, I found a recipe for Nutella cookies.  Yum.

Sunday mornings around here are baking day for the week.  I schedule a few goodies on the monthly menu to be prepared each Sunday morning, and used as after school snacks or dessert. 

Without further ado: here is the Nutella recipe


1 Cup Nutella
1/2 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Flour
1 Egg

Mix together.  Form into balls, flatter with your hand or the bottom of a glass and bake: 350 for 7 minutes

Mine turned out kind of hard. :(  When they come out they are a little squishy still, so give them a few minutes to harden.  I think next time I will also use two eggs.  They were a bit crumbly.

Let me know how your batch turns out.  The kidlets really like them here!
Enjoy! 

Preschool Pick up Dilemma

We have launched into the world of preschool and all that it encompasses.  Snack time, the tears at drop off, the making of new friends, etc.  What I did not anticipate about preschool was the immediate need for food, at the conclusion of the three hour school day.  Lil Miss is 'staaarving' when I pick her up.  We drive the 10 minutes to our house.  Where she walks in the door and flops on the couch.  And suddenly no longer is hungry, but it is lunch time. 

So, here is my dilemma:  child hungry when I pick her up. 

Possible solutions:
* let her skip lunch
* give her a snack in the car and then nothing for lunch at home
* give her a packed lunch in the car

What say you blogosphere?

We have tried all three.  And so far, there isn't a blaring winner.  But I do think I am leaning toward, lunch in the car.  Yippee!  :)  But the draw back, is she is so busy eating in the car, I don't hear about her day.  :(
