4 LAYER BIRTHDAY CAKE
Sometimes you want to make something special but hold on to a recipe for just that right moment. Well, no excuse is better than a birthday to make a cake. Introducing Eden’s birthday cake. Sure, it’s not really a cake per se, but it’s as healthy as it gets, naturally sweet and once decorated, rises to the occasion. Chock full of fruity goodness, this birthday cake will please kids and adults alike. That said, I will do it differently next time. I think certain fruits would work better than the ones I chose. While aesthetically gorgeous, pitaya (dragon fruit) is pretty damn bland. The swirls you see were not just…
Green Mango Salad with Thai Basil and Chile Mango Dressing
Green papaya salad has always been one of my favorite meals, even before I went to Thailand and ate it in it’s land of origin. But green papaya isn’t always easy to find around here.

The scent of hazelnuts and chocolate transports me to my cousin Vita’s house on Staten Island. She would give us all a spoonful of the creamy spread and we would go outside on the stoop and eat our treat. Our chocolate hazelnut bite is a healthy…
Jammy Fruit Salad with Arugula
My son loves fruit but when it comes to condiments, he’s really not much of a fan. He never even liked sauces, never mind salad dressings. From the beginning that became a challenge. Because, let’s face it, salad dressing is kind of like ‘clothes for greens’. (I guess that’s why they call it ‘dressing’ in the first place). It gives it that little extra ‘oomph’ that takes it over the top and helps to accentuate the flavor of everything that touches it. I mean, even I don’t think it’s that much of a thrill to eat a bunch of lettuce completely dry. And salad is -hands down – my favorite…
