Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake Recipe from Disney World

February 15, 2013 by Tiffany

I have wanted to try PB&J milkshakes forever. Of course, I’d like to have a chance to try them in their “home” at the 50′s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios. But since that hasn’t happened, making them at home is a great way to get a little taste of Disney.

If you’ve read this blog very long at all, you know I love all things peanut butter and jelly. Even so, these milkshakes do sound a little strange. But they don’t taste like blending a sandwich into your shake (which is a bit what they sound like).

They taste like a vanilla shake with a good amount of peanut butter smoothed in and a hint of jelly. I think the amount of jelly could even be increased for my taste.

Here’s what you’ll need: [Read more...]

Weekend Links and Sponsor Shout-Out

December 15, 2012 by Tiffany

Last month, Jim and I got to spend a long weekend in Disney World. Just the two of us. (And about a gazillion other people, too of course.)

We were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary a little early. It was our first trip without kids and we had a great time. The Magic Kingdom was decorated for Christmas. We also got to go to Hollywood Studios to see the Osborne Festival of Lights. If you ever have the chance to do that, you’ll want to grab the opportunity. It is incredible!

I’ve got several fun links for you. And yes, they are Disney related. As always, whenever we go to Disney it makes me want to go back!

If you’ve got Disney fever or are planning a first trip to Disney World, Disneyland or even a cruise, you’ll want to check out The Magic for Less. Their travel agents can help you with all the planning and with finding the best deals. I’m very happy that The Magic for Less is a sponsor of this site.

A few weeks ago, I read about candy cane making at Disneyland on the Disney Food Blog. Here’s a video of the process. So cool!

While we were in Disney this time, we tried the caramel apples for the first time. They had put some out to sample in a Fantasyland shop while we were browsing. I’d always thought they were just for looks, but the are truly scrumptious! We ended up buying 3 to bring home with us. Here’s a video of how they make the apples.

And if you’d like to get a taste of the Osborne Festival of Lights, here’s a video for you.

I’ve got Christmas baking and shopping to do this weekend. How about you? I hope you’re getting in the Christmas spirit!

African Pulled Beef Sandwiches in the Slow Cooker with Yogurt-Mint Sauce

May 15, 2012 by Tiffany

Part of my family is heading to Disney World in a couple weeks. Because I’m in the group going, I can’t seem to stay away from the Disney stuff. That means I’ve been avidly reading the Disney Food Blog. Disney and food are two of my favorite things.

The other day, I ran across this review of a new sandwich found in Animal Kingdom. I knew I had to try to create this! Of course, I have no idea what it tastes like, other than the way it is described in the post. Maybe I’ll get to sample the real deal while I’m there, so I can compare my version and Disney’s.

However, I have to say that the review was a great inspiration. My version turned out full of flavor and tender. My family loved it too. And the fact that it uses the slow cooker is a bonus. There’s just enough spice to make it interesting and give the meat a lot of flavor, yet it’s not burn-your-tongue hot.

Here’s what you’ll need to make these sandwiches: [Read more...]

What I’ve Been Reading in the Blogosphere

August 21, 2010 by Tiffany

I thought I’d share a few of my non-food blog reads, just for something different this weekend.

I’ve been missing Disney. We went at the end of May and that seems like a long time ago now.

Can you guess where I am with my kids in this picture? Pixie dust for the person who gets it right!

Vacation Food – What We Ate and How We Packed It to Disney World

June 11, 2010 by Tiffany

Aren’t those the cutest candy apples? We chose other things in this bakery, but I couldn’t resist taking a picture of these.

We were blessed to be able to take a family vacation to Disney World a few weeks ago. The first part of our trip was spent with just the 6 of us in a rented townhouse. For the second half, my parents and sister’s family joined us and we moved to an off-site pool home. Renting the homes is one of the ways we keep the costs down. (It also makes for a relaxing vacation.)

Another way we keep the budget under control is by taking our own food.

Cinnamon Sugar Toast and Other Matters

April 10, 2010 by Tiffany

I’ve got a variety of thoughts on my mind today and since it’s Saturday, it seems the perfect day to share them with you.

1. I’m looking for a few good guest posters. If you think you’d like to write a post to share here on Eat at Home, send me an email (eatpoetry@gmail.com). You can share a recipe or other food related topic.

2. I have been doing some writing for the SC Johnson website in their Family Economics section. You can read one of my posts here. I’ll have others published over the next few months. I have been compensated by SC Johnson for this.

3. Completely unrelated to food – We’re planning a trip to Disney World in a couple months. One of my favorite sites to haunt is Disboards.com. I found this very cool interactive video linked over there. It’s a virtual day in WDW. Each park is included and you can “ride” many of the rides. Very fun.

4. I’m planning to do some cooking for our Disney trip this weekend. I’ve got 3 freezer meals picked out to make. We’ll pack those on dry ice. My mom is doing the bulk of the cooking though. She’s already got lots of food made and in the freezer. One of the meals I’m cooking is Spicy Garlic Chicken Pizza. I’m also trying 2 new dishes.

5. I eat cinnamon sugar toast for breakfast nearly every day. I admit to getting a little bored with it, but it’s so easy and it does taste good. What do you eat for breakfast?
