Toy Story / Lightyear

I'm not gonna lie, I wasn't all that excited for the movie at first. I didn't like Toy Story 4 and wished they'd left it at 3, so when I heard they were doing a spin-off movie, my hopes were not high. But since the original movies are such classics and beloved favorites in my …

Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones is a childhood favorite, something that has lasted the test of time and is still as exciting and fun as it was decades ago. My kids love the ride at Disneyland, but they'd never actually sat down and watched the movies. So it was definitely time to change that. And there's no better …

The Avengers

In this house, we love Marvel. The entire MCU. My personal faves are Iron Man and Loki (you know I love a villain), hubs also really likes Captain America and the littlest one loves Spider-Man. My son was once Hulk for Halloween when he was little, so that holds a special place in my heart, …

Alice in Wonderland

I've always loved the idea of Alice in Wonderland, but I never got into the cartoon when I was younger. My little one also loves Alice, but can't quite get through the animated version, so we decided we'd try the live-action film. She does love Captain Jack Sparrow, and while Johnny Depp looks nothing like …

Independence Day

In honor of the 4th of July holiday, our movie of choice was Independence Day. We all love a doomsday movie, but add in some aliens, Jeff Goldblum and old-school Will Smith, and this is a true classic and family favorite. We kept the menu simple and Independence Day themed. We didn't do anything alien …

Stranger Things

I've always enjoyed the Stranger Things series, but when season 4 hit, I was completely and utterly shook. And it wasn't just me. It was a phenomenon! So I absolutely had to do a menu for the release of Season 4, Volume 2. I incorporated things from every season, and we did eleven items this …

Ford v Ferrari

My son got to pick the movie for his birthday weekend, and being the car lover that he is, he chose Ford v Ferrari. The food spread can be used for literally any car movie or even just a car-themed birthday or party. It was all really fun, super easy and tasty! Not gonna lie …

Guardians of the Galaxy

This is one of my favorites of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it was so much fun to come up with foods to go along with it. They really don't eat anything in the movie, and creating snacks that looked like the characters is way above this mama's set of culinary skills, so I got …

Maleficent

I am a villains girl, through and through. I love Belle, but my heart belongs to the villains. While Ursula is my favorite, Maleficent is a VERY close runner-up. The movies are absolutely stunning and Angelina Jolie is truly fantastic. So when my little one asked for a villain movie, I knew exactly which one …

The Sandlot

This is one of my favorite movies as a kid and an absolute must on any family or summer movie list. It's such a classic. So I had to do it up right. Admittedly, it was crazy easy to do. I didn't make a themed drink - to keep it true to the baseball theme, …
