Bread and Nutella: The Breakfast of Champions

Cereal is so out of style. Here in Italy, breakfast is less important, and a little more simple than those big filling breakfasts we're used to in the States. A piece of bread or a croissant is your typical Italian breakfast, accompanied by a cpu of coffee or espresso.
Being the poor college student that I am, going everyday to the coffee shop across the street from my apartment is pretty much out of the question. Yeah, I said i'm poor, and you're gonna hear a lot of that from me in the next couple of months. I have to settle for instant coffee I brought with me from the states, with some french vanilla coffee mate. It works for me, it's fast and it doesn't make a mess. I feel that for food in the morning, the best thing to do is just spread some Nutella on a roll. For all of you peanut butter loving Americans who are unfamiliar with Nutella, it's a chocolate hazelnut spread that's everywhere in Italy. I also hear this stuff is surprisingly healthy, with a lot of essential vitamins to get you through the day. I could probably eat this stuff all day, it's that good. As in better than peanut butter good.
