On the 1st of December I got an email from Ivory at Allrecipes.com about an event at Allrecipes.com’s headquarters here in Seattle.  It was the second year that Allrecipes.com and NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE®, organized the Cookies Across America campaign encouraging millions of people to bake, decorate and share cookies with the less fortunate this holiday season. They expect to bake and share over 1 billion cookies across America in the month of December. You can either throw or attend a bake party.

The email from Ivory was to let me know that thy were inviting people to their office to decorate cookies that can be shared. I was so thrilled by the idea and immediately agreed to go for it. AJ was a sport and agreed to come along..more to decorate more cookies!

All I knew that this love that started was not gonna end anytime soon. Nutella has been with me since then, grad school days, single but being married to work days, to now. I have used it as a sandwich spread, to make mocha, crepe fillings, ice cream topper, in cakes and many a times straight from the jar as an indulgent in itself! :)
