Restaurantosaurus

On our Disney trip back in February, we visited Restaurantosaurus again while at Animal Kingdom one evening. We ate here a year ago, but I forgot to take any pictures to do a real review. So this trip I tried something different, and I was sure to take pictures!

March 2019 Disney Planning

Mom and I make an annual trip to Disney World nearly every year for my birthday. We started this when I got out of college. It usually would just be a day or two at Disney and we would tack on a cruise. But since I had Melody, I haven’t wanted to do a cruise yet. So we just do Disney. This year, January was just not ideal. So we postponed until March.

Cut Out Sugar Cookies

Brad is a sugar cookie lover in our house, but I have cut back on making them since he is diabetic. Well I still make them for special occasions, and currently I am making them to test icing them for Melody’s third birthday coming up. Well this recipe below is my favorite for making cut-out cookies. This website also has an icing recipe, but I will include that later once I perfect mine, ha!

Rose and Crown

So I am really kicking myself in the butt for not trying Rose and Crown sooner. We have had many reservations here in the past, and we have always cancelled them for one reason or another. Well on our trip in February 2019, we finally tried it. And OMG and I am still drooling over it! Let me share with you how simple yet amazing this meal is.

Melody's Transition to a Toddler Bed

So we have finally come to the point that we had to convert Melody’s crib to a toddler bed. She was starting to put her legs over the crib in an effort to climb out. She never succeeded at climbing out thankfully. And we waited until after our Disney trip in February because we didn’t want her to refuse to sleep in a pack and play while there.

Toy Story Land Early Morning Magic

So back in September, I was lucky enough to attend the Toy Story Land AP Event with my mom and Melody. And since Toy Story Land was so new, it is unlikely we would have visited had it not been for this free event. Well I really wanted Brad to get to experience Toy Story Land, but it is still crazy crowded, and I was unsure of how we were going to accomplish this on our trip back in February. Well then Disney announced Early Morning Magic at Toy Story Land. Unfortunately it isn’t free, but it is only $79 per adult. It gets you prime access to all three rides plus characters and breakfast from 7:30 am (or even 7 am if you opt to eat breakfast first) until park opening. Check out our experience below.

Roasted Green Beans

Brad’s mom made us these green beans many months ago. They were really, really good. So good, Brad requested these instead of green bean casserole for Christmas dinner! Well they are super easy to make and super tasty. She sent me the recipe, and now I am sharing it with you! Enjoy!

Painting Melody's Nails

I painted Melody’s nails for the first time back before Christmas. Since then, she has wanted her nails constantly painted. Whenever one nail is missing paint, she comes to me asking for me to repaint them. It is super cute. Here is one of our last encounters…

Valentine's Day 2019

As I have mentioned before, we always do a very low key Valentine’s Day. We never buy each other crazy expensive gifts or go to fancy restaurants. We always cook in (usually lasagna), and we have even been known to set a limit of $5 for gifts, ha!

Orange Chicken

So I have to be honest, finding new healthy recipes are getting harder and harder. I need food to stay full longer and not feel hungry an hour later. Well I found this recipe and it sounded amazing. I love Asian food, but it is hard to find healthy food because most of what I love is fried. This sounded perfect. BUT I must admit, it doesn’t have enough flavor to me. I may try it again, but use something other than orange juice. We will see.
