food IS a theme park
Can you believe how fast the holidays are approaching?
Christmas has arrived at Disney World!
Holiday decorations are already going up in the parks and we’re seeing tons of holiday merchandise drop. With the holidays comes lots of cooking for some people, and if you’re at a loss for what to make, not to worry. Here are 6 Disney recipes to make for the holiday season!
Walt Disney’s birthday was this past weekend and we picked a pretty great way to celebrate the man, the myth, the legend!
Walt’s Chili at Disneyland’s Carnation Cafe
One of Walt’s FAVORITE recipes was his very own chili recipe. We’ve tried to recreate our own variation of Walt’s chili before (there are lots of variations on the recipe!) and now we’re following along with the official recipe used at Disneyland’s Carnation Cafe. So, let’s celebrate a major birthday and make Walt’s Chili and Beans!
Every month, our resident Chef Big Fat Panda puts together his amazing step-by-step, photo-filled posts where he and Chef Mickey show you their adventures in the kitchen cooking up Disney goodies! Today, Chef Big Fat Panda’s DIY Disney Recipes brings us another classic, one of Walt Disney’s personal favorites. (BTW: I had no idea you had to “sort” beans. Chef Big Fat Panda is so good to us.) Don’t forget to look for the hidden Mickeys! Take it away, Chef!
Hello! Chef BigFatPanda here! What an interesting cooking recipe this turned out to be – allow me to tell you:
I was very excited to come across the recipe entitled “Walt Disney’s Own Chili and Beans.” The cookbook says: “This was Walt Disney’s favorite meal, and this recipe, created by the Disneyland chefs, truly seemed to satisfy his palate. You’ll find it seasonally on the menu at some Disneyland restaurants, including the Plaza Inn and the River Belle Terrace.”
I thought it would be a great fall recipe as the weather begins to cool. I also felt it would be very easy and approachable. The truth is, I was wrong on both counts, BUT Mickey and I did save the day. Let’s get to the recipe before I get ahead of myself — but if I were you, I would not start cooking anything until you read my results. I am really looking for feedback on this one, both in ideas and from those of you that do recreate it.
