My birthday is right around the corner, and someone asked me what my perfect meal would be... it got me thinking! I love to throw parties for other people (any excuse to bake a cake, I'm taking advantage!) but when it comes to my own birthday, sometimes I let it slip by without much fuss. So, I thought it would be fun to put together my dream birthday menu -and, yes, there are multiple desserts 😂

These crostini have it all: sweet, spicy, and savory. They're perfect with a spritz and everyone always loves them (including me!)
What can I say? My perfect menu needed to include an arugula salad, and this one goes with everything!
Perfectly crisp Pork Milanese is one of my all-time favorite dishes... and with a squeeze of lemon? Perfection!
This one will be no surprise to my readers... but it's so simply delicious and always takes me back to Capri!
One of my favorite desserts ever is a torta caprese. It's a quintessential flourless cake (made with almond flour - so it's gluten free!) from the island of Capri, made traditionally with bittersweet or dark chocolate. In this version, lemon and white chocolate lightens up the cake, making it perfect for my summer birthday!
These brownies combine two of my favorite things ever: chocolate and espresso. Rich and fudgy and topped with a sweet espresso glaze, they're the most decadent after dinner bite.
