Monday is here, and I am ready to cheer you up with some Nutella! After such a great weekend, I need a little pick me up. We had gorgeous weather. There was double header flag football games, a football team picnic, seeds and plants were put in the garden, and lots of basketball was played (my 8 year got a basketball hoop for his birthday). So today definitely calls for Nutella
Today is the May #chocolateparty! This month the pairing was chocolate and strawberries. Chocolate dipped strawberries immediately came to mind, but I decided to think outside of the box. Strawberry shortcake is one of my families favorite desserts, once strawberry season starts. We usually only make it once a year with fresh strawberries that we pick. But I started early this year 🙂 And I added Nutella 🙂
This time I used those dessert cake cups you find in the produce section at the grocery store. I originally wanted to use angle food cake or pound cake, but I am am trying to eat healthier, and the cups were small portions for only 80 calories each. But you can use whatever you like; including making your own shortcake. If you use the store bought cake, this comes together in just a few minutes, and doesn’t involve the oven! Perfect for those hot summer days, which I am sure are right around the corner!

How clever is that?! I had no idea those things were only 80 calories. I can’t wait to try this with Nutella.

Hey, there’s not enough Nutella on there.
Kidding. 🙂 It looks like the *perfect* amount of Nutella and I’m getting out of here before my husband sees it and starts begging…
PS – He loves to mention dinners, dishes and desserts every chance he gets. It’s kind of bizarre. 😀

Nutella and strawberries sounds like a delicious combination. I’ll have to try it soon.
