Ant-Man Dinner

What's more "summer-y" than ants??  

That's why we decided to do a dinner for Ant-Man!

For dinner we had Falcon Wings, Yellow Jacket's Honey Glazed Carrots, Ant-Man On A Log, Pym Particle Potion, and Baskin-Robbins' Ice Cream.  

Falcon Wings

We modified this delicious recipe here.

Ingredients:

3lbs of wings

1/2 teaspoon of cumin

1 teaspoon of garlic powder

1 teaspoon of salt- separated

1/2 teaspoon of chili powder

1 teaspoon of cajun seasoning

1 teaspoon of onion powder

2 Tablespoons of baking powder

1/4 cup of Parmesan

1/4 cup of fresh parsley

3 cloves of garlic

5 Tablespoons of butter

2 sprigs of fresh thyme

Directions:

1. Combine cumin, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, chili powder, cajun seasoning, onion powder,  and baking powder in a ziploc bag and add the wings.  Shake it up and place in the fridge for at least an hour, overnight if possible.

2. Preheat the oven to 250 F. 

3. Place wings in a baking dish and bake for 30 minutes.

4. Turn heat up to 450 F and bake for 50 more minutes turning wings halfway through.

5. While that is cooking, in a saucepan add parsley, garlic, butter, and time.  Cook until butter is fully melted and then 1-2 minutes more. 

6. Toss wings in butter sauce and sprinkle with parmesan cheese.  Serve immediately. 

Yellow Jacket's Honey Glazed Carrots

I used this glorious recipe!

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons of unsalted butter

16oz bag of baby carrots

2 Tablespoons of honey

2 Tablespoons of brown sugar

2 teaspoons of fresh dill

2 teaspoons of thyme leaves

Directions:

1. Melt butter in a skillet on medium heat.  

2. Add carrots, honey, brown sugar, dill, and thyme and gently toss to combine.  

3. Cook until carrots are tender (about 15 minutes).

Maddie had her own version: Carrots, Pear, Ginger

Ant-Man On A Log

This is just your standard ants on a log with celery, peanut butter, raisins or dried cranberries. 

Pym Particle Potion

We used V8 Strawberry Pineapple Juice and Club Soda.  It was so refreshing!

Baskin-Robbins' Ice Cream

We chose Rocky Road Ice Cream.
