If you’re looking for a way to look back at Christmas’ past, this idea might be just what you’ve been looking for. This idea originally came from my mom, she didn’t have time to write in a journal every day or scrapbook books upon books taking care of our big family. So every Christmas, she […]

The Fourth of July has always been one of our favorite holidays. We camp out for hours to get a good view at the parade, the kids love seeing the armory roll thru, seeing all the fire engines and first responders, the big family cookout, and it wouldn’t be America’s birthday without the fireworks! This […]

One of my favorite parts of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Parade is the parade of Toy Soldiers. I love all the vintage vibes he brings to the parade! I loved them so much that I created my own solider ornament a few years back. I’m no expert, but I want to share the instructions with […]

Inspired by Epcot’s China Pavilion, we made Orange Chicken and Rice for our World Showcase meal. I am not a fan of frying, but this is a new family favorite! It was DELICIOUS! Not overly sweet like most recipes you’ll find, it had the perfect about of sweet and spice. It would be a great […]

Hallo! Inspired by Akershus Royal Banquet Hall at Epcot’s Norway pavilion, we made the ‘Tradisjonell Kjøttkake‘ meal for our visit there. The rich flavors of the meatballs, the creamy sauce, and lingonberry sauce is the perfect comfort food! I have to admit, the lingonberry sauce frightened me a little bit, I’m not a fan of […]

The Biergarten German Buffet at Epcot’s German pavilion wouldn’t be complete without Apple Strudel! It’s sweet, delicious, and perfect all year round. It makes two strudels, so you can eat one and share one with a friend. Or not, it’s totally up to you. The rum raisins are optional too, I love the added flavor […]

One of our favorite stops in the World Showcase is Germany’s Biergarten! Not only do they have the best Oktoberfest smorgasbord, there’s nothing better than a Hefeweizen on a hot day. This recipe isn’t on Epcot’s menu, but I really didn’t think you would want a recipe for braunschweiger. Fun fact: I love that stuff, […]

This is one of my most requested recipes on Instagram. Cornbread Mickey Waffles are not only easy to make, but I believe the crispy to soft ratio is by far the superior way of making cornbread. Once you try this, you won’t ever want to go back to muffins. I’ve used this recipe for years, […]

Inspired by the France Pavilion and movie Ratatouille, we made… Ratatouille! Believe it or not, it was much easier, and delicious, than I thought it would be! It help’s that we love roasted veggies, but the sauce really took it up a notch. I suggest making this as a side instead of the main dish […]

So basically, I want to make these every darn day. They are so good and pretty easy to make too. The rolling and forming the pretzels were the hardest part, but by your third or fourth try, you’ll find your groove. I tried several different ways for folding it, but I wrote down what I […]
