Nutella Sponsored Jr. Chef!

Once again we got to enjoy some delicious Nutella at an event... this time we got busy in the kitchen with our Jr. Chefs!

The kids were so excited to get use Nutella, and so were the moms!  Who doesn't love Nutella?

We had a variety of recipes to choose from but went for the ones we knew the kids would just love... ok and the ones I knew I would love too!

We chose to make Nutella Banana Pancake sandwiches and Nutella Parfaits!

The kids helped me mix of the pancake batter so that I could get those cooking for our sandwiches.

While I cooked the pancakes they got down to making parfaits with the help of the moms.

First they put some yummy vanilla yogurt in their cups, then a nice big scoop of Nutella, more yogurt and some fresh berries.  YUM!!

Of course being kids, they stirred up their parfaits to make a chocolaty mess of goodness! 

As soon as all the pancakes were done we got down to sandwich assembly!

A great big smear of Nutella, some fresh banana slices, and another pancake.  MMMMM!!!  These were so good!  The kids loved them, and so did us moms!

You knew just by looking at the kids and their sweet little Nutella covered faces and fingers that they had a great time in the kitchen!

This was definitely one of the more delicious Jr. Chefs we have done in a long time!  Thank you Nutella!

Who doesn't love a parfait!

Every month we hold a Mini Chefs event for our little bakers.

This month I chose a delicious and healthy snack for the kiddies. I thought it was simple and not too exciting, but the kids were beyond excited!

Our recipe of choice this month, Yogurt Parfaits!

We had some super delicious French Vanilla Yogurt, chopped strawberries and bananas and a surprise topping!


The kids filled their cups with yogurt, added bananas and strawberries and layered on some more yogurt and fruit.

As if they weren't excited enough about their healthy and delicious snack, I brought out my surprise topping! Cookies and Crumbs, mmmmmm!


Presidents choice makes these delicious ice cream toppings and I thought that the Cookies and Cream would be a perfect addition to our Yogurt Parfait!

The kids loved it. Some more than others... my son wanted to eat just the cookie topping once that came out!


I have to admit, I thought this was going to be a boring and all too easy snack, but the kids had a blast making their snack and even more fun eating it!

One little miss loved it so much she had a second one!
