Lightning Bolt Baby Shower

Life in the time of COVID means many fun things have had to be canceled or postponed, including my dear friends Caity and Jason’s baby shower. Along with my Madison gal pals, we schemed to stupefy these HP-loving parents to be with a Harry Potter themed, socially distant celebration. Putting these magical details together was as easy giving your wand a swish and flick so we’re sharing them today!

Ohana at Home + Dole Whip Mimosa Recipe

One of our very favorite dining reservations to snag is dinner at Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort. In fact, I would wager it’s our most repeated reservation, and we even got it for room service when we stayed at the Polynesian. What makes Ohana so great? The atmosphere really can’t be beat – you’re treated like ohana and waited on by aunts, uncles and cousins, and if you time your dinner right, you can even catch the Magic Kingdom fireworks right at your table. The entertainment is a blast – a character meal during breakfast and a luau style show for kids with dinner. The star of the show, though, is the food. Especially for dinner where you get course after course of Polynesian-inspired dishes served ohana style. I’ve never left a meal there anything less than absolutely stuffed. So when the Disney Parks Blog posted the recipe for Ohana’s famed wings, I decided I wanted to cook up an Ohana-inspired meal for my own ohana. I found several recipes online and made a few changes to make them dairy and gluten free.

The Definitive Pixar Movie Ranking

Why am I ranking all of the Pixar Movies? Well. Five reasons:

  1. I love a list.

  2. I love movies.

  3. I recently read Creativity, Inc. by former Pixar and Disney animation’s Ed Catmull (Highly recommend) so I decided to re-watch all of the Pixar movies.

  4. I’m a BOAPDP (“Boyfriend of a Pixie Dust Pal) who for some reason did not think this was a terrible idea.

  5. We’re in the middle of a quarantine brought on by an international pandemic. What else am I going to do?!

Recipe: Inspired by Woody's Lunchbox Box Tarts

Howdy howdy howdy! Like us, you might be looking for ways to bring the Disney magic home while we all stay at home. For us, little is more magical than Disney food, and we love to spend time creating Disney-inspired recipes or trying to recreate our favorites from the Parks. After a democratic Instagram poll, we decided I’d try to recreate gluten free Box Tarts from Woody’s Lunch Box, especially exciting for me to try since they do not offer a gluten free version currently!
