This hazelnut chocolate pudding recipe from Sweet Paul is simple and delicious. Nutella, the famous hazelnut spread is a key ingredient. I am not a huge fan of Nutella BUT, I love it with dark chocolate and eating them straight from the tree!

Hint - it has to do with food - always!

A Mini-Vacation to Puglia, Italy. Puglia is a beautiful and unique region of Italy filled with trullis, white cities, and clean beaches on the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. After being on lockdown for several months here in Italy, I was more than ready for a road trip. I visited the towns of Martina Franca, Cisternino, Locorotondo, and Alberobello in the province of Bari. A perfect 3-day trip!
