Birthday Dinner

Our take on this popular appetizer involves the addition of smoked paprika to give great warmth to the flavors of the dish. The crisp bacon nicely compliments the tender scallops, while infusing them with a smoky yet sweet flavor.

This fresh salad adds gorgeous color to your plate. The flavors of all the vegetables in this salad are so wonderful on their own that all you need to dress this salad is a touch of olive oil and fresh lime.

Birthdays come just once a year (for better or worse). This grain-free cake is a decadent way to celebrate growing a year older without fully going off the wagon. The chocolate ganache, which is kind of like a hard chocolate shell around the cake, brings an interesting texture to the cake.
