The latest chapter in the Toy Story film franchise is releasing today! I grew up watching the Toy Story movies and because I was the same age that Andy was in the movies, I’ve always felt a special connection as the experiences he was having were very similar to what I was experiencing in my life.…

Rapunzel’s Lantern Festival Lemon Bars
We’re finally in the midst of summer and despite some random rain storms, the sun has been shining and the weather has been beautiful here. One of my favorite things about summer is the many seasonal dessert options. I feel like summer calls for desserts that are light, refreshing, and often fruit flavored.…

Donald Duck Butt Pies
Happy Birthday Donald Duck! Today, Donald celebrates 85 years since his first appearance in Silly Symphony, “The Wise Little Hen,” on June 9, 1934. Since his debut, Donald Duck has become famous for his fiery temper and desire to be #1.

Chewbacca Cupcakes
Today Galaxy’s Edge officially opens in Disneyland! I must admit I have never been super interested in Star Wars. I tried watching the original movies, but they never clicked with me. However, my boyfriend has seen all of the Star Wars films and so when the newer ones came out, I tagged along to see them.…

Aladdin’s Magic Lamp Eclairs
Today Disney’s live action remake of Aladdin hits theaters! Aladdin is one of my favorite Disney animated films. I love the music, the magic, and Genie. When I think of Aladdin, one of the first things that comes to mind is the magic lamp. It’s the item that starts the film and, as it houses Genie, is one of the main driving forces for the plot.…

101 Dalmatians Milkshake
I love milkshakes. They are one of my favorite ice cream treats and I thought they’d be perfect to combat this wave of warm weather we’ve been experiencing. While I usually prefer chocolate shakes, I recently re-watched 101 Dalmatians and was inspired by their white fur with black spots. And so, I’m excited to share this toasted marshmallow milkshake with chocolate spots!…

Brave Bear Claws
Mother’s Day is just around the corner! To celebrate, I’m excited to share these delicious bear claws inspired by the movie Brave. I first saw Brave at a point in my life where I was creating a life for myself in college but also relying on my parents and so Merida’s struggles to be strong and independent while still respecting her familial responsibilities really resonated with me.…

Earffel Tower Cake
This week, Disney’s Hollywood Studios celebrated its 30th Anniversary! While it has undergone a lot of changes over the years, it remains one of my favorite parks (second to Magic Kingdom). When I first visited it, it was Disney’s MGM Studios and the “Earffel Tower” stood high above the park.…

Avengers: Endgame Shortbread Cookies
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.…

Chocolate Caramel Easter Eggs
Happy Easter! One of my favorite Easter activities is hunting for eggs. When I was growing up, my family planned scavenger hunt style egg hunts where clues were hidden in eggs that led to the Easter basket. We always had so much fun spending the day together looking for eggs and then eating all of the tasty chocolates inside.…
