Drop of Disney

It’s hard to believe that the major Avengers Infinity Saga, a storyline that has pulled together 22 different movies, is coming to an end this week. I hadn’t been super interested in Marvel comics or superheroes growing up (definitely more of a Batman girl), but I went along with my friends when the movies came out and found myself captivated by the different characters and stories.…

Cheers to Spring! It’s really starting to feel like Spring here–the weather has been warm, the birds are singing, and the flowers are all in bloom. All of the beautiful flowers really make Spring one of my favorite seasons and as I was thinking about this week’s dessert I knew I wanted to make something vibrant and colorful.…

This week brings the release of Disney’s live-action remake of the classic movie Dumbo! Dumbo is definitely a viewed as a classic Disney movie and is beloved by many. I’ve always had a hard time watching this movie, mostly because when I was little I was so heartbroken when Dumbo was separated from his mom that I wasn’t able to fully connect with the rest of the movie.…

Happy Spring! While it’s finally starting to feel like Spring here, Disney has been celebrating the arrival of Spring since early March with the Flower and Garden Festival at EPCOT.

I went to the festival for the first time last year and was captivated by all of the colorful flowers, fresh produce, and adorable Disney character topiaries.…

Happy Lunar New Year! For everyone celebrating around the world, yesterday was filled with wishes of good fortune and celebrations to welcome in the Year of the Pig.

Although I’m not super familiar with all of the traditions associated with Lunar New Year, I wanted to make something to celebrate. After doing some research, I decided on a batch of traditional almond cookies.…

When I was in London last summer, I had this delicious chocolate truffle filled with a rich creamy caramel and sprinkled with shortbread crumbs and small crispy candies. After eating it, I looked at the label on the box and saw that it was called a “Millionaire’s Shortbread Truffle”. I hadn’t heard of a “Millionaire’s Shortbread” before, but based on its truffle form, I knew it must be something delicious.…

Snow White was my first favorite princess. As soon as I saw the movie, I I loved it and would spend hours playing with my figures of Snow White and the dwarfs and wearing the Snow White dress my mom gave me. Not only was Snow White a favorite of mine, but the characters and songs from the movie made their way into my family’s everyday life.…

My favorite thing to eat at Disney World is the gingerbread cookies sold in the Main Street Confectionery, as well as some other bakeries around the parks. Gingerbread is already one of my favorite holiday treats, but there is something so delicious about those Disney gingerbread cookies. They’re thick and soft, and the flavor is the perfect mix of sweet with just a little kick of spice.…

Happy December! For me, December really starts the holiday season and I can finally turn up the carols, decorate the house, and break out all of the holiday recipes! Unfortunately, December is also prime cold and flu season and I have been terribly sick this past week so I was delayed in posting this new recipe.…

Hocus Pocus is my all time favorite Halloween movie. Growing up, my mom and I would watch it together and we can still quote the lines back to each other. While the plot of the movie is both a bit ridiculous and (as my boyfriend points out) scary, the silly antics of the Sanderson Sisters, Max and company, and the ever adorable cat Binx, captured my heart and I was an instant fan.…
