Homemade Vegan Nutella – Kelly Clarkson please try it

Vegan Nutella Homemade from 5starcookies food blog-Real Nutella and Homemade Version Nutella
Vegan Nutella Homemade from 5starcookies food blog-Real Nutella and Homemade Version Nutella

I am sure your heard the story about Kelly Clarkson. She has been accused of “child abuse” by online commenters

after she posted a video showing her daughter trying Nutella for the first time.

Kelly is a criminal isn’t she?

Can you believe that somebody can write the following comment:

“Giving food like this to a child is child abuse”.

Oh, my God where is this world going? Are we all crazy people?

How can anybody be against Nutella?

How????

As I was trying to calm myself down I started to think like Kim Jong-un?

If I only had a nuclear weapons ….well, let’s not go there.

Calm down Nutella nation, I am not that crazy. I do love Nutella but I value “world peace” the MOST.

And because of that I started to think about all people who don’t like sugar and who count calories like obsession religion.

How can I exist with them? After all “world peace”  or “peace on earth” is an ideal for all of us.

So, I started think like a little rabbit. Let’s make it vegan.

Yes, dear Nutella nation, let’s make the homemade Vegan Nutella.

How it is the same or different  to real Nutella…well, you be the judge.

Now, what do we need? What kind of ingredients we need to buy.

First of all, you will need the king of this post. It is called the HAZELNUT.

Let me repeat ….we need

1.HAZELNUT!

The other ingredients are:

2.Icing Sugar (yes, I know! Have you heard the word “compromise”. We all need to do that.

Never mind which group you belong to)

3.Cocoa Powder

Vegan Nutella Homemade from 5starcookies food blog-Cocoa Ingredient
Vegan Nutella Homemade from 5starcookies food blog-Cocoa Ingredient

4.Coconut Oil

5.Almond Milk

Vegan Nutella Homemade from 5starcookies food blog-Almond Milk
Vegan Nutella Homemade from 5starcookies food blog-Almond Milk Ingredient

6.Vanilla Extract

Now, if you are ready as I am let’s start our cooking show.

ACTION MODE

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cup hazelnuts

1 cup icing sugar

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 Tbsp coconut oil

1 and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

3/4 cup almond milk

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Spread 1 and 1/2 cup hazelnuts, in a single layer, evenly over a baking tray.

Bake for 10 min.

Let the hazelnuts cool for 5 to 7 minutes. because you will need to touch them.

Place the hazelnuts in a clean tea towel and gently rub together. The skin will be removed.

If you have some little, stubborn skin that does not want to cooperate use a small knife to show them who is the boss.

But remember, be gently. Try not to heart yourself or stubborn hazelnuts.

Now, if you have hazelnuts ready the rest of the recipe is really a piece of cake.

Find your most powerful man called the food processor or blender.

Add all your hazelnuts into blender, add 1 cup icing sugar, cocoa powder, coconut oil, vanilla extract and almond milk.

Blend until smooth.

Find your prettiest jar because that will be a home for our homemade Nutella.

Pour the vegan Nutella spread into a air-tight container.

Keep it in the fridge.

Enjoy!

So, what is the difference between homemade vegan Nutella and store-bought Nutella?

They say “A picture is worth a thousand words”.

Just look the picture and be the judge…You can pretend to be judge Judy or judge Jeanine. It is your choice.

Anything else…

Well, yes, just one more thing.

I do love Kelly Clarkson. Not just her music but for the fact that she share Nutella with her baby.

I think it is the best gift you can give to your child. Your friends or your family.

If you disagree with me…I feel sorry for you.

I think there’s a beauty in remembering the time when life was simple.

Remember how easy life was back then?

And just because of that I want this post to be about that time.

…When people cared about each other. And the nature.

No chemicals, no additives…just very simple, easy life.

Perfect connection between humans and the nature. Imagine that…Can you?

Or are you busy looking into your fucking phone pretending that that you are living life to the full?

Whatever…I don’t want to argue with your “Excuse me, FBI is calling…”

Of course you can’t say No to James Comey. I understand…And you do too.

Fake news is our life. So…keep pretending.

But ….I will not.

The Easter is coming very soon and I would like to create something that mother Nature will be proud of.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen I am talking about the best Easter Eggs you will ever make.

Naturally dyed eggs using natural onion skin!

Don’t you love it?

Now, let’s move and start our project.

ACTION MODE

Ingredients:

Onion Skin – 3 cups but you can use less or more. There is no rules really. You can’t make mistake with amount of onions.

Eggs – I used 30 organic eggs. They can be white or brown.

What else do you need?

Vinegar, Water, Nylon Stocking or pantyhose (buy in $ Store)

Important: You need to buy nylon stocking or pantyhose. (See the picture below.)

Add another egg into the same pantyhose.

Tie and secure. Now you have two eggs tied together and being next to each other

Tell them to be friends and get along. It is important in life to be a social being…

Add another egg and keep going until you have 5 or 6 eggs together inside of that one pantyhose. See the picture below.

Use another pantyhose and repeat all steps above. So, if you want to dye 30 eggs you will need 5 pantyhose.

(5×6=30)…If you don’t understand math, just keep going until you have all your eggs inside of the pantyhose.

The next step is to find your saucepan which is full of the onion skins.

Now, place 12 eggs (2 pantyhose) into a saucepan with the onion skin. Cover the eggs with the onion skin.

Just imagine you are protecting eggs from the enemy.

Then ADD WATER and 1 TBS of white vinegar. So, how many cups of water do you need to use?

There is no really a straight answer to this question and I will answer like a politician.

Use as many as you need to cover all eggs and onion skins.

Important: When water starts to boil, boil for 25 to 30 minutes on medium temperature.

Take eggs out of the pot.

Gently remove the pantyhose.

Rub them with the olive oil (or bacon).

Enjoy!

The color will be different…It depends how much of the onion skin you used.

So, this project is a simple, safe, natural project. You can try yourself or you can involve your children.

Why?

Because it is important to teach kids to reach out and touch the rest of the world.

And starting with the Easter egg is a good start.

I think there’s a beauty in remembering the clothes we used to wear or the music we used to listen.

And speaking of music I found lyrics for this song that I never listen before. It did something to my soul

and I need it to share with you.

 

Life Is A Miracle lyrics

Life! It’s a candy
With a red hot chilli pepper
Filling inside

Life? Are you ready?
You’ll be a butterfly in the ultimate fight

Life treats you gently like
Virgin Mary
But then strikes back
Like Chriss Eubank

Life!
It is full of surprise
Crossroad to Hell
Or Paradise?

But little did I know
Mr. Preacher man
What real life could do
And shit could hit the fan
Life is beyond Peace and War
Justice and Crime
I remember that time

When Life was a miracle
As if Zidane played for Liverpool

Life is a business
Risky and confused
God gave you a deal
That you cannot refuse

Life is Terrorism
Globalism, Optimism
Give peace a chance
Give war romance

When Life was a miracle
And pigs might fly that was credible

But little did I know
Mr. Preacher man
What real life could do
And shit could hit the fan
Life is beyond Peace and War
Justice and Crime
Do you remember that time

When Life was a miracle

(Emir Kusturic & The No Smoking Orchestra)

Can you answer that question?

Do you remember that time when life was a miracle?

And you can do this online, you don’t even have to leave the house.

So, my dear readers I hope you are inspired to make this Easter extra special by making naturally dyed eggs.

And just think about that question “Do you remember that time when life was a miracle?”

Life is a business
Risky and confused
God gave you a deal
That you cannot refuse
