This is what happens when you let a 2 year old run the show...

Hello all!  I had so much fun doing "Brave" week last week.  I think, in all honesty, it was my favorite theme week for this blog so far.  And I was lucky enough to actually get to see "Brave" opening weekend along with "The Avengers" at our local drive-in, which was very cool.  I have to say, while I enjoyed "Brave," it isn't my favorite Disney Pixar movie, though "The Avengers" far exceeded my expectations...  And I was expecting a lot from it, being a fan of superhero movies and hearing all the great reviews from it.

I do have a confession to make though...  Last week was my son's 2nd birthday and I had originally intended on spending the week making all sorts of party food for him.  I didn't realize that "Brave" was hitting theaters the same day as his birthday.  Because I had most of what I needed already for "Brave" week, I went with that as the theme of the week, but I felt really, really bad about it.  As a result, this week's food is all dedicated to my son.  It's the Disney-fied version of the foods he loves. 

For those worried that means five different ways to cook chicken fingers and cheese pizza, I promise that this week there's not a single hot dog, pizza, or nugget anywhere in sight (though I can't promise an adult version of mac and cheese won't be featured...).  My son is quite the adventurous eater and I have lined up a signature dish from Jiko's, as well as food from Boatwright's, Ghirardelli, and even a very popular and highly distinctive dish from one of my favorite resorts...  Pop Century.


So...  Happy birthday Baby Boy!
