Scare up a little Disney fun this Halloween with this Maleficent Donut Recipe

Maleficent Donut Recipe

Not only is it already September but the month is almost half over. That means in just a few short weeks we’ll be celebrating all things spooky with Halloween right around the corner. Halloween is my favorite time of year. I have a tendency to go overboard decorating the house and really getting into the Halloween spirit. I look forward to dressing up just as much as the kids and I can’t wait to start thinking about what I’ll be this year. Two years ago, I went as one of my favorite Disney Villains – Maleficent. Evie was a baby and I found her the cutest Princess Aurora dress so it was a perfect match. That’s why I’m so excited to share this Disney inspired recipe with you. This Maleficent Donut recipe is pretty easy to make would be a great addition to your Halloween party, Disney movie night or Sleeping Beauty themed party.  [Read more…] about Scare up a little Disney fun this Halloween with this Maleficent Donut Recipe

Finding Dory Popcorn

One of our favorite ways to wind down after a busy week is to relax at home together for a family movie night. We all take turns picking out the newest release or our favorite family friendly title, I’ll whip up a fun snack or even an all out themed dinner depending on how busy our week was and how much time I have. Then we’ll all sit down and just spend some quality time together as a family. It’s actually one of my favorite things to do. We’ve been doing this since my son was a little boy and now that he’s 12, I’m quickly reminded how fast the time goes by. It makes me appreciate these little moments even more. For our latest family movie night, we decided on Finding Dory.

Moana Blu-Ray Available Now | Moana Cupcake Recipe

Moana Cupcake Recipe

We’ve had a Moana movie marathon going on in our house since last week. When we arrived home from the Poconos we had a package on our doorstep and both kids rushed to grab it. They knew it was a movie and were thrilled to see Moana in there! They’ve been begging to see this since we missed it when it was in theaters. I thought Evie might be too little to sit through an entire movie when it was release so this was one we were waiting for on DVD. Well that day is finally here! While we may have had a sneak peek last week, you can own it on Blu-ray today! It’s quickly become a family favorite and we’re watched it at least 5 times already! Since it was a little chilly this weekend, we hung out at home and had our own little Moana movie night. Since no movie night is complete without a delicious treat, so I made these Moana inspired cupcakes and I just love how they came out!  [Read more…] about Moana Blu-Ray Available Now | Moana Cupcake Recipe

Beauty and the Beast is one of those iconic movies that you can just watch over and over again. It’s hard to believe that we were first graced with this beloved classic, twenty five years ago. Now, here I am sharing one of my favorite movies from my childhood with my little princess. When Disney sent me a copy of the movie last week, I knew we needed to have a movie night right away so I could introduce her to all my favorite characters like Belle, Chip & Mrs. Potts. I made these Beauty and the Beast cupcakes inspired by one of my favorite princesses last weekend and they were the perfect treat for our movie night. These Belle cupcakes are perfect for your party, celebration or just because. [Read more…] about Simple to Make Beauty and the Beast Cupcakes

The Big Donut Recipe Inspired by Zootopia

zootopia-donut-recipe

Over the weekend we had a mini movie marathon at our house. We kicked off our movie fun with Zootopia, out on Blu-ray™ and DVD now. Last week my friends at Walt Disney Pictures sent us a copy of the movie and we couldn’t wait to watch it. I haven’t had a chance to see it yet but my son saw it and loved it. He was so excited when the DVD arrived. I knew I wanted to create a fun snack to go along with the movie. Of course we had our movie staples like pizza and popcorn ready but for dessert I wanted something fun. If you know my son, you’d know he loves donuts. He would eat them all day long if I’d let him. Even though I hadn’t see the movie, I saw enough clips to see “the big donut” featured several times. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, it’s basically a donut dipped in chocolate with sprinkle and “the Big Donut” written on top. I knew this was the perfect recipe to re-create for my donut loving boy.  [Read more…] about The Big Donut Recipe Inspired by Zootopia
