  • Tartine Aux Fromages - Boulangerie Patisserie les Halles

    We just got back from Walt Disney World. Ok, we didn’t just get back, I’ve been back for like a month. Whatever, same thing. Anyway, we just got back from Walt Disney World and since then I’ve been obsessed with the Boulangerie Patisserie les Halles in Epcot’s France Pavilion.

    When it comes to iconic breakfasts at Walt Disney World, Chef Mickey’s is pretty hard to beat.

    Oh this is the night, it’s a beautiful night… And we call it bella notte… Ok, ok… Different pasta, same idea. A sweet and flavorful marinara sauce flavored silky cream and a dash of cheese, all over a bed of al dente pasta.

  • Bruschetta - Hollywood & Vine

    When it comes to healthy treats, it doesn’t get much healthier (and more tasty) than fresh tomato, fresh basil, and balsamic vinegar. Enter Hollywood & Vine’s classic bruschetta (pssst… It’s also served at Mama Melrose’s). It’s sweet, flavorful, and something worth craving without breaking your diet.

Dining with Dairy and Gluten Allergies at Walt Disney World

Welcome to this month’s Blogorail Green Loop. Today we are sharing dining tips for your Disney vacation.

I know this may come as a shock, but one of my favorite things about my Walt Disney World vacations is the food. Honestly, I look forward to eating at certain restaurants as much and more than doing the rides and shows. I’m such a food person.

However, thanks to being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis, I developed some major food sensitivities/allergies. It seemed carb and gluten-heavy foods were a trigger, but more importantly, dairy suddenly became my enemy number one. In fact, I spent almost a week in the hospital last August thanks to one of my favorite local restaurants not honoring my dairy-free allergy needs. Let me tell you, that was exactly no fun.

10 Most Popular Recipes of 2016

Well, it’s here. 2017. It feels like we just started 2016, but somehow it seems to have flown by (and taken some of my favorite celebrities with it).

While I’m excited for all the new and wonderful things coming in 2017, 2016 was kind of a big year for TheDisneyChef.com. I very recently added my 200th recipe, we’re nearing 10,000 followers on Instagram and we’re also flirting with 20,000 on Facebook, and last year we had well over 1 million visitors.

Banyan Beef Skewer Recipe - Bengal Barbecue

When it comes to things that are spicy, I’m a true New Englander… Which means I’m a big baby.

The Fire Sauce at Taco Bell is pretty much my limit. However, at Disney Parks it seems that even the menu items highlighted as “spicy” are still a perfectly comfortable level of spice for my tender tongue. So when a dear friend handed me this recipe directly from a Disneyland chef, I was excited to dive in. When the Internet warned me it had some zip, I figured it was that Disneyland level of spicy.

Movie Night - Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

Welcome to this month’s Blogorail Yellow Loop. Today we are sharing movie night ideas based on Disney movies from the 80s.

As anybody who follows me on social media can tell you, I’m a fan of “Star Wars.” Yes, I’ll admit that I’m a Johnny-Come-Lately who fell into fandom only after “The Force Awakens” was released, but truly enjoying the “Star Wars” movies as an adult has had some perks… Like sharing the experience of discovering the series with my kids.
