    Mulan Themed Dinner

    February 8, 2022 /

    This week, we enjoyed a Mulan Themed Dinner while learning about the traditional holiday, Lunar New Year! I’ve been wanting to do a Mulan Themed Dinner for a while because I absolutely love Chinese cuisine.  And when I realized Lunar New Year was approaching, I decided it would be the perfect learning opportunity for the kids (and me)!  Lunar New Year (also known as Spring Festival) is an important international holiday celebrated in many Asian countries.  This celebration marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring!  The New Year begins with the first new moon of the lunar calendar, and festivities continue for 15 days until the first…

    Crockpot Pumpkin, Sausage, and Apple Stew

    October 12, 2021 /

    This Crockpot Pumpkin, Sausage, and Apple Stew is one of my favorite recipes to make this time of year.  It incorporates some of the best flavors of fall, and it’s a great way to warm up as the weather gets colder.  I also love that this stew comes together in the crockpot, making preparation a breeze on busy days.  You can even combine your ingredients in the crockpot the night before, store in the refrigerator, and turn on the heat when you’re ready to get cooking! I created this Crockpot Pumpkin, Sausage, and Apple Stew to serve at our annual Hocus Pocus Viewing Party.  You can check out our themed…

    March 14, 2021 /

    This week, my family and I decided to hold a Disney World Chocolate Chip Cookie Bakeoff!  Amidst the global pandemic of COVID-19, the Walt Disney Company has striven to provide ways of incorporating Disney magic into the lives of those who are stuck at home and social distancing.  One way Disney fans can enjoy the parks from home is by preparing some of their favorite snacks and treats with OFFICIAL Disney recipes straight from the parks!  This is a most welcome gift for those who are really missing their Disney fix!  Two of the recipes my family was most excited to check out were the chocolate chip cookies from Grand…

    Little Mermaid Dinner Night

    December 5, 2020 /

    For our Disney Dinner this week, we decided to go “Under the Sea” and take inspiration from Disney’s The Little Mermaid!  This Disney film is one of my all-time favorites.  The story features lovable characters, great music, a FANTASTIC villain, and a touching father/daughter storyline.  For our Little Mermaid Dinner, I wanted to incorporate menu items inspired by the sea but keep seafood OFF the menu.  Ariel wouldn’t eat her sea friends, would she?!  So for this week’s Disney Dinner, we set out to immerse ourselves in The Little Mermaid with our “Under the Sea” inspired menu!  Download a printable version of our Little Mermaid Dinner Night Menu here: Under…

    Ahhhh spaghetti and meatballs, the ultimate comfort food in my opinion!  There’s nothing like twirling noodles on your fork and stabbing a juicy Italian meatball to keep everything together in one perfect bite.  And let’s be honest, who hasn’t tried to reenact that famous noodle sharing scene from Lady and the Tramp?  My family is guilty! Today, I am going to share how you can make your own Italian Meatballs with this treasured family recipe. Italian Origins This Italian Meatball Recipe comes from the kitchen of my Great-Grandma Carmella.  The origin of this Italian Meatball Recipe hails from Naples, Italy, where my Grandma was born.  I love embracing my Italian…

    Great-Grandma Carmella’s Classic Marinara Recipe

    Today I am going to share my most treasured family recipe, my Great-Grandma Carmella’s Classic Marinara!  My Grandma was born in Naples, Italy, immigrating to the United States when she was 2 years old.  I love to embrace my Italian heritage, and preparing this sauce makes me feel connected to my Grandma and her Italian traditions. My Grandma was famous in her time for organizing HUGE spaghetti feeds for her community, and supplying her prized sauce recipes to local Italian restaurants.  She was a giver!  So in the spirit of her giving, I am excited to share her Classic Marinara Recipe with you today. Warning: Preparing this sauce will make…

    Crockpot Alphabet “Hi Dad” Soup

    November 11, 2020 /

    This Crockpot Alphabet “Hi Dad” Soup recipe was inspired by the alphabet soup enjoyed in Disney’s A Goofy Movie. I LOVE using my crock pot, especially to make soups!  There is nothing easier than dumping in the ingredients, turning up the heat, and just leaving it be for a few hours.  Then PRESTO!  You have an amazing meal with very little preparation.  We are making our Crockpot Alphabet Soup from scratch!  This version of “Hi Dad” Soup is made with fresh ingredients and is loaded with flavor.  It will be a hit with all ages, even those little ones who prefer not to each their veggies.  This soup also freezes…

    A Goofy Movie Dinner Night

    November 8, 2020 /

    One of our FAVORITE Disney movies to watch as a family (and seriously underrated, in my humble opinion) is the 1995 classic, A Goofy Movie.  It has everything!  Great music, tons of laughs, a road trip adventure, and a touching father/son storyline…what more could you ask for?!  Plus sooo much delicious-looking food.  I figured, what better way to enjoy this classic film than to create some of that magic at home, WITH FOOD!  So for this week’s Disney Themed Dinner, we are taking a road trip across America with Goofy and Max, and enjoying some of those delicious snacks and treats along the way! I present to you, our Goofy…
