Nutella has been a favorite of Europeans for decades, and when used in moderation with complementary foods, Nutella® is a quick and easy tool to encourage kids to eat whole grains, such as whole wheat toast, English muffins, toaster waffles and bagels.   

  

Nutella^® hazelnut spread is a terrific option for individuals with peanut allergies.  The spread does not contain peanuts or peanut ingredients, nor does the product come in contact with peanuts during manufacturing.  Nutella^® is comparable to other popular breakfast spreads and is the perfect alternative for all those finicky eaters in your household.

Sweep Series Vol 1 by Cate Tiernan

Volume 1 of Sweeps is HUGE - almost wanted to get a Kindle cause I couldn't hold it up half the time lol. But I couldn't put it down. Morgan goes from a normal teen going to school having a close family to being a bloodwitch and loosing her best friend. Yeah she gained more friends with her coven, she has a cool boyfriend, shes getting closer to her sister but she's really still missing something - her biological mom and dads information. She slowly learns about herself and her witch family but she also learns about Cal's witch family and that is even more shocking. I loved it :)

Not a teen book - the first chapters or two talk about swimming naked - sexual tension.

Book of Shadows

Morgan thinks witchcraft is laughable when her best friend Bree drags her to a meeting of the Cirrus Coven. But during a cermony led by Cal, Morgan's long-time crush, Morgan feels a shock. Suddenly everything looks brighter, clearer. Morgan doesn't want to get involved with witchcraft-but she feels like witchcraft is choosing her.

The Coven

Cal, now Morgan's boyfriend, helps her accept the truth: Wicca is in Morgan's blood. As Morgan learns more about Wicca, she realizes that she needs to find out more about her parentage. The answers are there, but she doesn't know how to find them.

Blood Witch

This is the third book in a groundbreaking and suspenseful new series for teens. Sixteen-year-old Morgan has never heard of Wicca-modern witchcraft - until she meets Cal. Then everything changes - almost overnight.

Morgan knows that witchcraft can be dangerous and that her birth parents died because of their involvement. But witchcraft is a part of Morgan in a way she can't ignore, and now that she's practicing Wicca, her powers are increasing. Her boyfriend Cal is a witch, too. He believes that they are muirn beatha dans, witches who are meant to be together, to love one another. But the sudden appearance of Hunter, a stranger who claims to be Cal's brother, threatens to ruin everything. Hunter says that Cal is practicing dark magic. And Morgan feels unsure. Could it be true?

Entice by Carrie Jones

Finished the third book in the series Need by Carrie Jones... now i'm patiently wiating for the 4th book that comes out next yr lol

One I'm surprised at the speed in the book - she seems to be getting better with each book :) But I'm also surprised at how many people we are loosing in this one. I'm really unsure of Zara's complete trust in Astley - seems like the author has gone from making her a warrior to almost putting a hole in the character with her naivety.  This book revolves around Nick being gone and how much Zara is willing to risk to get him back - how many people she'll put at risk for her own want... so she's become naive and greedy - but everyone just puts this aside for 'true love'  but for who Astley or Nick? If your a Nick fan - gets your gloves on, your gonna want to beat Astley up at every corner - maybe that's why I can't understand her flat out trust for him, cause I don't lol. Great book to the series!

Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever.
But that's not quite how things have worked out.

For starters, well, Nick is dead.
Supposedly, he's been taken to a mythic place for warriors known as Valhalla, so Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. But it's taking time, and meanwhile a group of evil pixies is devastating Bedford, with more teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent, and the good guys need all the warriors they can find. But how to get to Valhalla?

And even if Zara and her friends discover the way, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to go with her? Especially since she hasn't just turned...she's Astley's queen.
