Recipe: MickGriddle

in ,

Though it’s been many years since we’ve frequented the golden arches, it used to be a must on any visit to the Orlando airport! Not eating gluten really makes it challenging to eat there, but I still think about one of my very favorite breakfast treats – all the delights of a cheesy egg sammy sandwiched between two pancakes with little bites of maple goodness inside. I decided to make my own spin on that breakfast delicacy and add a little pixie dust – the MickGriddle!

Adventure Is Out There Happy Hour

in ,

One of my favorite traditions my husband and I have started over the past year is “Friday Happy Hour at Home.” Every Friday after we wrap the work day, we celebrate with a fun snack or drink (not always booze!) and listen to a fun playlist while our son eats dinner. This past Friday, it was our son’s first birthday, and since I was crying about my big, grown up toddler, I decided to make happy hour at home extra fun with an Up theme! I created a grazing board inspired by Making Main Street and whipped up a cocktail inspired by Ellie’s Grape Soda pin, which we are calling the Ellie 75!

Recipe: POG Juice Smoothie

in ,

While there may be a foot of snow outside my window right now, in my mind, I’m basking in the warm sunshine at the Polynesian Resort. If you’ve ever been to the Polynesian (or Hawaii IRL), you’ve likely sipped on the famed POG juice, a combination of passionfruit, orange and guava juices. I love POG juice so much I once cried actual tears of joy sipping a POG-mosa in the Club Lounge at the Polynesian. Please see below for evidence. So to bring the spirit of Aloha home and help you start off the day with a smile, we’ve whipped up a POG Juice Smoothie recipe that is sure to make you feel like you’re in a tropical oasis.

Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical Watch Party

in ,

We are back after a little holiday hiatus! We certainly hope you had a merry time however you were able to celebrate this year. Our new year is already starting off with something very exciting because on January 1st, “Ratatouille: The TikTok Musical” comes to life. What is this, you ask? Check out the full story here, but the rat-sized version is that a Ratatouille super fans started creating songs for a hypothetical musical on TikTok, and now, it is a full-fledged production with some of Broadway’s biggest stars for one night streaming only!

For our night at the (virtual) theatre, we are planning a feast Remy would approve of using recipes from my new Disney Eats Cookbook. (Thankfully our loved ones paid attention to our gift guide!) Want to join in the fun? You can get your tickets here, and proceeds support the Actors Fund.
