Enchanted Dinner

We did a dinner for Enchanted with Gramma Cinny!  We had a blast and the girls dressed up like princesses.  It was a lot of fun and helped us get ready for our Disney trip.

For dinner we had Robert's Hot Dogs, Date Night Pizza, Pip's Nut Mix, Nathaniel's Appletini, and New York Cheesecake Cookies.

Robert's Hot Dogs
Well it was raining we watched this movie- so boiled hot dogs it is (boiled is fine but grilled is best!)

Date Night Pizza
We got a frozen pizza and cooked it up to package directions.

An Extremely Goofy Movie Dinner

We did a dinner for An Extremely Goofy Movie!  We had Pete's BBQ Burgers, Goofy's Family Potato Salad, College Nachos, Bean Scene's Java, and Max's Skateboard. 

Pete's BBQ Burgers
I found this recipe here and they were pretty good.

Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 of an onion, chopped
1 egg, beaten
1 Tablespoon of BBQ sauce
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of pepper

Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients well
2. Make patties and grill for 12 minutes
3. Add to a bun and add a little extra bbq sauce. 

Goofy Family Potato Salad
Full disclosure- I'm not really a potato salad fan but I REALLY enjoyed this recipe.

Ingredients:
1lb of red potatoes, halved
1 Tablespoon of Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons of olive oil
1 Tablespoon of white vinegar
1/2 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
1. Put a steamer basket in a pot filled with 1 inch of water.
2. Bring to a boil, add potatoes, cover, and cook for 16 minutes. 
3. In a bowl, combine vinegar, Dijon, salt and pepper.  
4. Add potatoes, oil and parsley.
5. Toss before serving. 

College Nachos
Chips and cheese- a deadly combo. 

Bean Scene's Java
We grabbed a coffee from Caribou Coffee- in hindsight we should have hit up Bean's (which has fabulous coffee as well) because after watching the movie- the name is almost the same! 

Max's Skateboard
I used twinkies and mini donuts to create a skateboard (with strategic toothpicks to keep things standing)

Demolition Man Dinner

Tim gets all of the credit for this dinner!  He planned it all himself- Demolition Man was a big hit in the Pipinich household.

To eat we had Rat Burgers, Armour Hot Dogs, Jolly Green Giant Green Beans, Taco Bell Tacos, The Cryo Prison Drink, and The Three Seashells

Rat* Burgers

*you can substitute beef ;)

Tim cooked up burgers to order for the family. 

Armour Hot Dogs

Tim boiled hot dogs for 8 minutes. 

Taco Bell Tacos

Jolly Green Giant Green Beans

The Cryo Prison Drink

Sprite with Blueberry 

The Three Seashells

I have made Madeleine cookies before (recipe attached) but I didn't make them this time around- they're a bit fussy but pretty rewarding when done correctly.   

Overall, this was a fabulously easy dinner!
