And after the db challenge comes the "sweet and simple bake" one! Usually the recipes are very good and , as the name says, very simple, making you feel you want to repeat them over and over (in italian we say they can became "your battle horses" cavalli di battaglia) The same happened with the muffins. Thank you Rosie and Maria providing us with all these goodies.
and here is the recipe ! Enjoy !

I had a wonderful helper for this week's recipe : Anita decided to cook with me ! In Rome is really hot so ice cream was a great choice ! I think the recipe was easy and very good I think I'll make it again (what about trying other fruits ?) For the recipe consult the book 'Baking with Dorie' or Tuesdays with Dorie
We are very lucky to live in a building with some nice neighbours that became our friends. Few days ago Silvia had a very bad back pain so Andrea tried to relieve her with a massage. He was so good that we earned her special polpettine ! What makes them so special is that she adds to the usual ingredients ( veal, onion, parsley, salt and egg) cooked rice or millet so that the polpettine remain very very soft . The best part of it is that when she went home she found an earring that Andrea was desperately searching !
