Hello all! I am so glad to be back! I am back with a new 'eatspirational' recipe. The summertime heat of August has got me CRAVING the deliciously sweet and tart frozen Night Blossom drink from Animal Kingdom. On my recent visit to Disney World, I had the frozen concoction boozey version with the rum added.  **The Disney trip vlog will be uploaded this weekend :) Be sure to check out my Youtube channel for the happiest adventure on Earth! I like  most sweet frozen drinks so the Night Blossom was definitely on the must-try list. Tangy and sweet layers of desert pear and green apple are topped with popping boba and as I mentioned before, there is a 21+ version that includes a heavy handed portion of rum. The beautiful result is an 'Instagram-able' cup of frozen candy-like beverage. Disney uses several different companies for flavoring syrups and lemonade but this one is super simple; Monin for the syrups and Simply brand limeade. You may need to order your popping boba on

I'll be headed to Disney World later this month so I figured it would be the perfect time for another Disney at Home night, this time in the theme of the Princess and The Frog. In order to get in a truly Tiana-like mood, I prepared breakfast for dinner, complete with beignets, coffee, orange juice, bacon and sausage. We enjoyed this meal while watching Princess and the Frog on Disney Plus. I served up the vegan version for myself and the non-vegan assortment for the rest of my family. Since non-vegan bacon and sausage are pretty well known, I'm going to skip showing them.  The brand of sausage I used was the Beyond Breakfast Sausage links and the Bacon (bacn) was LightLife. What I will include of the non-vegan assortment, is that I used Cafe du Monde beignet mix to create their beignets. My mom grabbed a box while shopping so I needed to make use of it. You can find it on Amazon and in Louisiana. Just follow the directions on the box.

  I think you all can pretty much surmise, I really love Disney. One of the only other things that can size up to that level of enthusiasm is Halloween. So when I get to combine the 2, it is simply euphoria! Last night's movie night featured Disney's Haunted Mansion. I absolutely love the Haunted Mansion ride and area in Disney World and the movie has always been one on my Halloween list.  To complete the festivities and level up the experience, I purchased a cute Haunted  Mansion mug from Spirit Halloween and ordered the  Funko Haunted Mansion Game . I also served a sweet soda family friendly beverage inspired by this year's Disney Halloween Spooky Apple Punch. It was simply green apple syrup and Sprite served over ice and garished with gummy worms and crushed candy straws. Bonus points if you have the poison apple glow cubes. Happy Haunts!
