This project holds a special place in my heart because it’s full of my favorite childhood movies and memories. Take Peter Pan, for example - a film that’s woven into my history. Years ago, I ran a mouse ear shop called Moonlight Lagoon Co., named after the magical Mermaid Lagoon from Peter Pan. Bringing this meal to life in the cookbook felt like coming full circle, a tribute to a story that has always inspired me. And don’t even get me started on A Goofy Movie! Creating dishes like the Hi Dad Mimosa and the Leaning Tower of Cheezah was pure nostalgia and joy.

What’s Inside: 13 Magical Movie Nights

Step into a world where your favorite movies jump off the screen and onto your dining table! Once Upon a Dinner and a Movie Digital Cookbook offers 13 magical movie nights that promise to whisk you away on a delicious journey through Disney’s most enchanting worlds. Each movie night comes fully planned, so all you need to do is follow along and let the magic unfold.

This cookbook has everything to make your Disney dinner and movie night a seamless, magical experience. Picture this: You start with a perfectly themed cocktail or mocktail, followed by a mouthwatering appetizer, an unforgettable main course, and a dessert that’s straight out of a fairytale. And don’t forget the editable printable menus, designed to make your evening feel even more like a fairytale. You can customize these menus to add a personal touch, creating the ultimate dining experience that wows your guests.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the Disney dinners you’ll get to experience:

  • Peter Pan: Kick things off with the Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust Drink, then enjoy Tick Tock the Crock-uterie and The Jolly Roger Garlic Cheese Bread. The main course, Off to Neverland Pizza, is a playful nod to the Lost Boys’ adventures, and for dessert, indulge in the Lost Boy Cupcakes.

  • A Goofy Movie: This is a personal favorite, bursting with nostalgia! Start with the Hi Dad Mimosa, where the juice spells out “Hi Dad” just like in the movie. Next, build your own Leaning Tower of Cheezah with tater tots! One of the most iconic scenes in the film meets TATER TOTS. How can you go wrong with that combo? The meal continues with Max’s Bacon & Eggs and finishes with Goofy’s Short Stack of pancakes, because who doesn’t love a good ole Breakfast for Dinner?

  • Oliver & Company: Dive into the heart of New York City with Georgette’s Paw-sta Salad and Dodger’s Street Dogs. Paired with Tito’s Tots and finished off with a classic New York Cheesecake, this meal captures the energy and flavor of the Big Apple.

Each recipe has been thoughtfully crafted to reflect the spirit of the movie it’s inspired by. Whether you’re savoring Hercules’s Mount Olympus Chicken Kabobs or enjoying a spoonful of Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother’s Magic Wand Treats, every dish invites you to experience Disney in a whole new way.

These dinners aren’t just meals—they’re adventures. Perfect for family nights, romantic dates, or themed dinner parties, Once Upon a Dinner and a Movie makes it easy to turn an ordinary evening into something truly unforgettable.

Are you ready to embark on a culinary journey filled with Disney magic? Trust me, you’ve never had a movie night quite like this!

One of the most exciting parts of creating Once Upon a Dinner and a Movie Digital Cookbook was dreaming up recipes that don’t just taste delicious but also capture the heart and soul of each Disney film. These meals are more than just food; they’re edible works of art, designed to transport you into the worlds of your favorite movies. Here are some standout recipes that make this cookbook truly magical:

A Goofy Movie: Nostalgic Delights
Creating the A Goofy Movie meal was a dream come true. This film holds a special place in my heart. It was one of favorites growing up and I wanted to do justice to all the iconic moments we know and love. Take the Hi Dad Mimosa - an inventive, playful drink where “Hi Dad” is spelled out in juice cubes. It took me quite a few times to get right, but once I did, it turned out to be one of my proudest creations. And for the Leaning Tower of Cheezah, I knew I had to make something fun and nostalgic, so I stacked crispy tater tots into a “tower” of cheesy goodness. Who can resist tater tots? The meal continues with Max’s Bacon & Eggs and wraps up with Goofy’s Short Stack, making it the ultimate breakfast-for-dinner adventure.

Hercules: A Taste of Mount Olympus
Bringing the world of Hercules to life was all about embracing bold, Mediterranean flavors that would make even the gods envious. We started the meal with an I Won’t Say I’m in Love Drink, a refreshing cocktail inspired by Meg’s unforgettable sass and strength. Next, you’ll feast on Salad Skewers of the Gods, a playful take on a classic Greek salad, and Meg’s Mythical Garlic Feta Pitas - bread and cheese, is there a better combo? For the main event, I present Mount Olympus Chicken Kabobs served over Zeus’ Bolt Basmati Rice, a dish so divine you’ll feel like you’re dining among the gods. And no feast would be complete without something sweet, so indulge in the Olympian Delight Baklava, layers of flaky pastry drenched in honey and nuts.

Robin Hood: A Rustic Adventure
Creating a meal inspired by Robin Hood meant bringing the charm of Sherwood Forest into the kitchen. Start your evening with the Sherwood Forrest Serenity, a calming cocktail (and/or mocktail) that sets the mood for a feast fit for outlaws and royalty alike. The Ch-ARROW-Cuterie Skewers make for a perfect, shareable appetizer. For the main course, you’ll savor Friar Tuck’s Roasted Chicken alongside Robin Hood’s Roasted Potatoes and Maid Marian’s Roasted Carrots, each dish hearty and full of rustic flavor. And to finish, delight in the Bullseye Cupcakes, sweet treats that hit the mark every time.

Each recipe in Once Upon a Dinner and a Movie has been crafted to evoke the same emotions and magic as the films they’re based on. From the Greek-inspired feast of Hercules to the rustic charm of Robin Hood, there’s a culinary adventure waiting for everyone. You’ll find dishes that bring beloved characters to life through flavor, presentation, and a sprinkle of Disney wonder.

Cooking from this digital cookbook isn’t just about making a meal; it’s about stepping into a story, creating an experience, and sharing moments that feel truly magical. Whether it’s building your own Leaning Tower of Cheezah or savoring Olympian Delight Baklava, these recipes are designed to be as memorable as the movies that inspired them.
