If you read my previous Snow White article, you know that my family is taking a year (give or take a few weeks ;) ) and watching every classic Disney animated film, starting with Snow White and going all the way through. Because the kitchen is one of my happy places, I of course want to make food to go with each meal. And because I have 5 young kids, these meals will be fun and kid-friendly (for the most part ;) ).

One of the hardest parts of planning these meals for me is narrowing down what to actually make because there are just so many cute things you could do! But I’m really happy with how this meal turned out- and everyone else was too!

Of course, with a villain named Stromboli, you can’t not make stromboli! This was something I had never made before, and I was a little worried about how it would turn out. It’s essentially a rolled up pizza with an egg wash and extra seasonings. Many times I’ve seen a variety of meats included, but for my family’s taste buds, I just kept it simple with the basics: one made with pepperoni, and one with alfredo sauce, pepperoni and canadian bacon.

These were REALLY tasty. My whole family raved about them, and my husband said these are definitely something we need to add to a regular rotation. I was also surprised how filling they are! It doesn’t look like a lot of food for 4 adults and 5 kids, but I was full after just one slice!

As you can see in the above picture, we also served caramelized carrots. I wanted to add some kind of vegetable, and I thought little baby carrots look a lot like Pinocchio’s nose! Maybe that’s a little morbid… but no one seemed to mind, especially when eating them ;). Cooked sweet carrots are hard to resist!

I also set out a little bowl of goldfish to represent Monstro the whale…. They’re definitely not quite as intimidating or monstrous- but my kids sure loved them!

For dessert, I actually ended up doing 2 things because I just couldn’t narrow it down! I loved the idea of trying a strawberry pie because this is something else I’ve never made. Pinocchio is holding some kind of pie with red filling while he’s playing around at Pleasure Island, and knowing that my husband and in-laws are big fans of pie, I decided we would try that! I think I still prefer cherry pie, but this was a fun new thing to try!

For our second dessert, I made milkshakes. We received a cute Disney cookbook for Christmas, and one of the recipes was for Jiminy Cricket’s milkshakes, so of course I had to make them! They were SUPER good. But I’m also a sucker for all things Oreo and ice cream. They turned out a little more grey than green (probably because I added extra Oreo), but my cute milkshake glasses took care of that!

The last thing I made (but didn’t get a picture of) was supposed to be Blue Fairy Italian Soda. I love Italian soda, and came across the idea in a blog and thought it would be the perfect addition to our meal! I bought what I thought was a Blue Raspberry Kool-Aid flavoring- but instead turned out to be Tropical Punch in a blue package! I was disappointed- but the sodas were still amazing! My kids (and the adults!) raved about them. I think no one cared that they were red instead of blue- except me ;).

This was definitely a tasty meal, and one I’d make again! I’ve included the recipes for the milkshakes and Stromboli below! Enjoy!
