Making of Mr. S Birthday Feast

It is my own tradition to make a big meal for Mr. S’s birthday. Also, I can be lazy for the rest of the week to eat all the left overs. I planned this meal with an idea of having appetizer, soup, a vegetable dish, a protein dish, a starch dish and dessert. After a long process of picking the best recipes for his birthday, I chose this menu:

Butternut Squash, Leek and Apple Soup
Mac and Cheese
Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Pancetta
Rack of Lamb with Mint Basil Pesto
Braised Lamb Chop
Bread Pudding


Since Mr. S’s birthday is on a Tuesday, I had to start cooking right after work and would have maximum of 3 hours to cook. So I prepared the soup the night before in a slow cooker and used the slow cooker during the day of to make the bread pudding. In the end I used a little more than 2 hours to finish preparing and cooking this 6 courses meal.
