I’m 47 years old, and I just discovered Nutella. Of course, I had tried it on crepes at fancy restaurants, but I had no idea that I could get it for home. But my daughter, who has a radar for yummy stuff, began dipping strawberries in it. The curmudgeon in my resisted such unconventional innovations.
Then, one day overcome by an odd desire to try something new, I tasted for myself. Eyes bulged. Scoffing disappeared. Immediately I was hooked addicted.
It took me 47 years to discover this delight. After almost five decades of life, I’m still discovering new wonders that God has prepared for us humans.
And you want to tell me that Heaven doesn’t have unending wonders to please everyday for eternity? Sorry, but I don’t think wings, white robe and a golden harp describe adequately Heaven. The fact that the Bible talks little about Heaven only means that God kept surprises for us.
I’m still discovering delights here on Earth.

LOL! Oh dear, another Nutella addict is born.
There really are delights right here on Earth we have not yet discovered. Heaven is going to be even more amazing, colors we haven’t yet seen, things we haven’t smelled. Somebody told me that when the wind blows in heaven it smells like bread baking. Hey, works for me. 😉
Thanks for all the encouraging remarks always. You’re doing an amazing job. And thanks for the friendship!
And nutella is really good on bread, I bet they have huge containers of it in heaven to go with the bread!
ROFL! I hope the coffee is big and good!
I’m 48 years old and have just discovered avocado. So, yes, I agree with you.
What will be my special surprise, I wonder?
Well, I like nutella, but I’m glad I always knew about avocado. Hard to imagine life without it!
This post really brought a smile to my face…and made me crave some Nutella.
Ok but be careful. Cuz the stuff is loaded with calories! LOL!
Welcome to the Nutella fan club! I absolutely love it. I always have an open jar nearby.
Lol! This is hilarious! And totally relatable! I too am a Nutella fiend…I hit rock bottom the day I found myself simply spooning it straight out of the jar 🙈 !
uh oh… I’ll pray for you…
Oh, yeah, man. Nutella. Discovered at 55. Life is good.

i saw it but was really really busy so i didn;t respond. let me talk to dianna now. i think it would be fine. but not sure. let me see if we can
It’s actually been in the US a long time. We’ve been eating that for years.
i just discovered it
Nutella is one of the truly good things in life. Next try dipping a banana.
oh ok¡
Lunch suggestion: Nutella on Ritz crackers, washed down with a Coke Zero. I encountered Nutella in Germany fifteen years ago. Also great with bananas on crepes, or just about anything else! Pray hard.
Nutella is under the heading of “testings”–can I walk past the Nutella display at Costco without tossing a container in the cart? I believe Heaven shall provide calorie free delights. For now, perseverance against Nutella. Ghiradella hazelnut bars are another story.
Yes, amen.
Delighted to read that you have discovered Nutella!
It was invented in the 1940s when chocolate was in short supply. Pietro Ferrero used hazelnuts from the Piedmont region (northwestern Italy) instead. He died only a year or so ago. It’s great that he lived such a long life and was able to see his product become so famous.
My only caveat is to watch how much of it you eat. I put on a few pounds very quickly many years ago enjoying Nutella. That said, it is a heavenly treat!
once in a great while
Thanks for “spreading” the message!
LOL. So true. Love Nutella! And I love discovering God’s surprises.
amen amen amen
I’m glad you like Nutella. Now you’ll have to try Vegemite 🙂
vegemite?
We have it on toast for breakfast in NZ and AUS.
My American born husband eats it with me sometimes. It’s also great on a sandwich with lettuce 🙂
Where do I find it?
Hi Mike,
You can get it from this company:

If you do get it, I would advise apply it to your toast or bread VERY sparingly. It’s a taste most Americans do not like 🙂
hahaha. if americans don’t like it, why are you recommending it?
Haha. Well, I liked the happy look on your face when you were eating Nutella, and then I wondered what you face would look like eating Vegemite!
LOL! That’s a great photo. I love Nutella too
thanks! that’s me!
Adorable 🙂
LOL
Great breakfast with Nutella.( the Mustard seed is the smallest seed but when it is planted it becomes the largest tree) l always remember the saying when l visit your blog. Jalal
And I impressed by what God can do when I visit your blog. You came out of Iraq, right?
Thank you and God bless you.l came out of Iraq one piece twice.My Lord got me out and answered our prayer.Jalal Michael
Great post! I discovered Nutella myself when I ran out of syrup and had to put it on my pancakes (a friend had left some in my pantry). And I agree, I tell my kids all the time to name some of their favorite things and most outlandish dreams and goals, then I remind them that God has something way beyond what they can even conceive of waiting for them in heaven. It’s a treasure to look forward to :-).
I make nutella ice box with mixed fruits!
mmmmm how is that?
It’s a no bake cake 🙂
Used to like Nutella but have now found all kinds of flavored nut butters that I like just as well. I usually just dip pretzels in it or bake with it.
whoa! sounds good!
I still haven’t tried it yet. I guess I should, since it’s legal and all (unlike a lot of other things I haven’t tried). I don’t know what’s worse though, liking it and realizing so much of my life has been spent without it, or being disappointed when it doesn’t live up to the hype.
Baber, when are we going to get together again? It has been 64 kabillion years!
