: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
If you visit Disney World, you can visit the Beast’s castle and try the grey stuff atop The Master’s Cupcake at “Be Our Guest” restaurant.
But if you want to try it at home, I’ve got an easy recipe for you to try.
And it is delicious!
— Don’t believe us, ask the dishes!
I recently hosted a bridal shower for my niece who is a big Disney fan. Each table had a theme, and the dessert table was ‘Belle’.
Having two sons is fantastic. But I do miss out on a lot of the ‘girly’ things. So when I get an opportunity to do it, I do it big! Especially when it involves things I love – in this case: themed entertaining and my niece.
We are definitely a Disney family. My husband has been a huuuuuge Dis-nerd for as long as I’ve known him. And my appreciation has grown significantly over the years for all things Disney. We even focused our homeschool studies around a trip to Disney World several years ago. Awe-some!
I love for guests to get a little taste of what’s in store for them even before they come inside. So just outside the front door, they were greeted by this “Be Our Guest” sign.
Do you love a party with a theme as much as I do? There’s just something about it that tickles me. It doesn’t have to be big or elaborate…sometimes it’s just a nod.
Some time ago, my niece joined us on a road trip. She made a discovery about our family. She found out that, much to the chagrin of our boys – my husband and I enjoy listening to songs from musicals when we travel. Few things can keep you alert while driving better than singing (in character, of course), “I Dreamed a Dream,” or “Who’s That Guy?” Yes, we like everything from Les Miserables to Grease 2.
(Driving through Oklahoma was especially fun for Greg and I…not so much for the boys.) Oklahoma – OK!
And thus started our discussion about all of the musicals that my niece hadn’t yet seen. We decided right then and there that a Girls Movie Night must happen.
Since then, a group of young ladies, and some not as young ladies, have gathered at my house to watch movies that some of us consider classics.
It started with musicals specifically, but has branched into other genres.
These caramelly, oat-y squares will become a favorite sweet treat fast.
Bonus: more ideas for using dulce de leche in recipes!
Dulce de leche is a thick, rich, decadent caramel that folks in Latin America have been enjoying since sometime in the 1800s. Thank you Latin America, we owe you a debt of gratitude.
Today I’m sharing several ways that I like to use this amazing ingredient AND a recipe for one of my family’s favorites!
