Recreating Disney World Meals at Home

I did an entire weekend of Disney foods for DH for Fathers Day. Went a bit crazy but had fun!
Clam Chowder from LTT - good but will try it for real next trip.
Cinnamon roll loaf from Main Street Bakery - Yum!
Cheesy potatoes from Chef Mickeys - ok.
Ribs with FTBBQ sauce - really good.
5 cheese noodle bake from MM - pretty good.
Green beans from O’Hana, very yummy.
Cornbread from HDDR - Best I’ve ever had!!!

It was fun but I sure am glad Fathers Day is just once a year :smiley:.

That sounds GOOOOODDD! Are you available to cook for Father’s Day next year? LOL I’m making a note of this for when DW asks what I want for Father’s Day. I never have anything in mind, now I do.

I love this idea! All those items look absolutely delicious. It’s getting me excited for the Food and Wine festival when I go in September. You’ve convinced me to give a few of these recipes a try before my trip!

@wdwfamily3, the soup does use white cheddar as @BigBoySlacks said. I think we did use Cabot brand cheese. Didn’t know it was lactose free!! The soup does call for milk or cream and when cooking, I use straight up milk. I find lactose free tastes sweet like a melted milk shake…delicious on cereal but not in certain recipes :wink:

@sarasue8, where did you find all those recipes? I’ve seen a few in the 2 cookbooks I have but not the HDDR cornbread. I’m always trying to replicate my great grandmothers cornbread. Doubtful I ever will since she kept a crock of bacon grease and would dip into it for her cornbread. That is just not happening at the Moore house!

Those ‘legacy’ cornbread and other recipes are hard to do in modern times given our new understanding of things, and we just don’t have the same ingredients available in some cases.

I have, like once a year or so, made skillet cornbread using lard. It turns out fantastic, but it is definitely NOT an everyday treat.

Lactose free milk is missing the milk sugars (lactose). Some diabetics use it because of this. Vanilla flavored contains extra sugar as do non dairy creamers which use corn syrups. I use lactose free milk in many milk based sauces or soups and never noticed it being sweet Also lactose free milk won’t work in instant pudding just cook and serve with slightly reduced amount

Exactly, the lactase is broken down and the simpler sugar taste sweeter to the tongue, at least for my family, lol. You’re right, it can be used in some recipes and I have successfully used it in many but there have been a few that just needed regular milk. Glad it’s worked well for you.

Agreed!

@MooreDisneyPlease, I found them on magical recipes.net. They have a few from US too including Butter Beer which intrigues me. Have fun!

Best of luck to you @BigBoySlacks! I posted the website but here it is. Magicalrecipes.net. My husband’s favorite was the FTBBQ sauce which was really easy.

I never know what to get him either, but he’ll never turn down a good meal!

Wow - that looks amazing!

Trader Joes flour is identical to King Arthur’s flour, only it’s cheaper. Check out the specifics and you’ll see what I mean. I’ve been using it for years. The White WHole Wheat is our go-to flour for everything but fancy Xmas cookies.

hey folks a) now I’m starving and b) you could really show off the power of the forum by POSTING SOME RECIPES for us here!! :smiley: :blush: :bookmark_tabs: :frog:

I’ll bite (get it?) @LuvMuppets. Here are a few of our favs.

Good recommendation! I have to stop by TJ’s on the way home today, so I’ll add some flour to my list.

Cool post from the La Cava Daily Thread:
