Brave Dinner

We've been reading the Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls book and it has been a hit.  Because of that, we are always looking for strong female role models for our lovely ladies and Merida from Brave is exactly that!  So we decided to do a dinner for Brave.

For dinner we had Bullseye Pizza, Scotch Eggs, Merida's Red Haired Pasta, Will o' the Wisp Cocktail, and Scottish Buns.

Bullseye Pizza
We made a pizza with a Boboli pre-made crust, tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperonis.  We cooked the pizza to package directions.  

Scotch Eggs
I used this recipe here but baked in the oven instead of stovetop frying for safety. 

Ingredients:
1/2 of ground sausage
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
2 hard-boiled eggs
1/2 Tablespoon of flour
A pinch of salt
A pinch of black pepper
1 egg, beaten
1/3 cup of Panko bread crumbs

Directions:
1. Mix together sausage, Worchestershire sauce, flour, salt, and pepper.
2. Divide the sausage mixture in half and mold around the hard-boiled eggs to shape.  
3. Put beaten egg in a dish and put the bread crumbs in another dish.  
4. Dip the sausage covered egg into the beaten egg mixture and roll in bread crumbs until coated.  
5.  Bake in the oven on 400 degrees for 35 minutes until golden brown.  

Merida's Red Haired Pasta
Red sauce with Rotini pasta cooked to package directions.

Will o' the Wisp Cocktail
Champagne and a small amount of Blue Curacao.  I had blue sugar that I put around the rim.  

Scottish Buns
Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls made to package directions and adding a dried cranberry on top.  

"There are those who say fate is something beyond our command.  That destiny is not our own, but I know better.  Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it. " - Merida

To my very own Rebel girls!
