Weekend Cooking: Nutella times two #pinitdoit

Tai loves Nutella so a weekend that includes two Nutella dishes was a great weekend for him.
Tai's work was having a potluck the following week. I wanted to make these 3 ingredient Nutella cookies but wanted to make a test batch. While I pulling out the Nutella to make the cookies, I started thinking about breakfast. I wanted to make french toast, but could I incorporate the Nutella in the french toast. Pinterest to the rescue.
So my first pin is the Nutella french toast:

Here's mine:

I had some leftover rolls from Ezell's (local fried chicken place) which worked perfectly. The french toast was very decadent and delicious. I will make these again.

So my test batch of Nutella cookies.
Here's the original pin:

And here's mine:

I took my test batch to my work and people raved about them. No one believed me that that there were only 3 ingredients. I made them small since they were very rich.

What's your favorite recipe to use Nutella in?

Weekend Cooking: Pumpkin-Nutella Loaf

I pinned this pumpkin-Nutella loaf a while ago. I bought a box of canned pumpkin in October thinking I would make all sorts of pumpkin dishes. This is the first thing I've made using that canned pumpkin. Only 23 more cans to go!

I made this loaf to take to a party last night. It was a huge hit. Not only did it get gobbled up, but plenty of people asked me for the recipe.
Here's the original pin:

Here's mine:

I followed her recipe exactly except I added 1/2 tsp of ginger and 1/2 tsp of cardamon. I thought the additional spice would enhance the flavor. I was right, it did. Tai's asked me to make this again so it might be my go to dessert for the holidays.
