Review of Nona restaurant & more, Riccione.

I could name this review ” beautiful things that happen by chance”: I met the owner of this nice place last January at Sigep, I was there with some bloggers and we had a small chat about what and who foodbloggers are.

We exchanged our business cards then we kept on doing our works.

Some time later I received a mail from Nona’s social media agent and we decided to meet and speak about potential partnership.

Blogging is only a hobby for me, I have a family, a job and I’ve been very busy so I could set a meeting at Nona only the past week end.

Lettuce soup.

 This time I’m so late for the usual recipe exchange with my Bloggalline friends.

This month I’m paired with L’angolo cottura di Roby, it’s filled with many tasty things, I left my heart and my eyes on some baking recipes but, as we’re still dieting hard, I decided to make a pureed soup.

Deadline is on 7th, only today I managed to make this soup: not a recipe matter as this is quick and fast but spring brought us some illness; Lorenzo, after Easter, suffered of flu and stomachache with high temperatures.

He’s very tired and he needs some extra snuggles.

Wholewheat noodles with dry tomato's pesto, smoked paprika and chives.

Few weeks ago the marketing staff from Luciana Mosconi ( Italian brand leader of dry egg pasta) asked me for some recipes with their products: even if I’m a fresh pasta lover, I have the chance to use wooden rollpin and cutting board from my grand-grand mother and I still have a mother-in-law who still makes fresh egg noodles every sunday by hand I find the possibility to store some egg pasta ready to use is often more than useful, it’s redeeming.

I’m not the kind of person who refuses large scale products, they just have to come from a factory/ brand I trust.

In this recipe I used wholewheat noodles as the wholewheat pasta is hard to spread, it’s soft and prone to holes and to stick to the rollpin.

We can say Luciana saved me a lot of work! 🙂

I have just a couple of photos of the dish because I was too focused doing what the staff asked me to take some pictures just for the blog, I hope you can understand. 😉

This little set back is going to include also the other recipe I made.

If I may say so myself they both turned out very well: created, tried, adjusted and now ready for you.

Let’s start with the first one.

 The story of this dessert is long and tormented.

It was on my old blog, it has been linked from Expo World Recipes but on the new blog the page was missing untill today so many visitors come to see…Nothing.

This treat is so quick you can do it in minutes, it’s adaptable, elegant, I didn’t postet it before only because of lack of pictures.

Now it’s time to fix it, to shoot photos, to write again so who’s looking for this recipe can find it!

Zucchini bites.

I feel Autumn here in Bologna: air is fizzy, leaves are changing colours and I can finally live instead of surviving the hot weaher.

The post holidays  thrill is still here even if things never go as you plan them: more work than we expected ( and this is good!), a sad news that let us reconsider what is important in life, kindergarten is starting really slow giving my boy half day off for more than a week and he’s not really happy about it because he wants to stay with his friends!

Soon I’ll bring on these pages a sweet sweet collaboration made of books and honey and a wonderful themed recipe .

Now that is no more a crime turning on the oven I enjoy the last zucchini of the season.

We ate them in every possible way and this is only the last one we tried.

They may seem like muffins but the mix is more crumbled and dry because of breadcrumbs.

This recipes serves 24 mini muffins.

Recipe Notes

Don't use regoular size muffins tin: they are too big and the inside of your bites will remain soggy and raw.
