Birthday Dinner Plans
With my birthday just a week away, I’m starting to think about the menu. I’m leaning towards a delicious lasagna, paired with mashed potatoes and rolls. My girlfriend is whipping up some amazing brown butter chocolate chip cookies, a raspberry cheesecake, and possibly an apple crumble for dessert.
I’d love any suggestions on other dishes I could add or changes I should make. I’m really aiming for a comforting, homey vibe for the meal!
Happy early birthday! Your menu already sounds delicious and very comforting! Lasagna, mashed potatoes, and rolls are classic hearty choices. If you’re looking to add something else, here are a few ideas:
Salad: A fresh salad with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and a light vinaigrette could balance out the richness of the lasagna and other dishes.
Garlic Bread: Instead of regular rolls, garlic bread would be a perfect complement to the lasagna and super comforting.
Vegetable Side Dish: Consider roasting some seasonal vegetables, like carrots, broccoli, or green beans. It adds color and a healthy touch to the meal.
Appetizer: You could include a simple appetizer like bruschetta, caprese skewers, or a charcuterie board to nibble on while everyone waits for the main course.
Instant Pot Mac and Cheese: If you’re looking for something extra comforting, homemade mac and cheese can always elevate the meal.
Whatever you decide, it sounds like a wonderful celebration! Enjoy your birthday dinner!
