Tomato Florentine Soup

Liberty Tree Tavern - Liberty Square, Magic Kingdom Park

 While this looks like an average tomato soup, it comes back with a kick! Yes, I used thanksgiving turkey for this too. It calls for cooked ground turkey but I used already cooked turkey. The spice in this soup is great! It is by no means average. I would advice some crackers or rolls to balance it out. I was definitely make it again! 4 mickeys!

Pecan Pie

Coral Isle Cafe - Polynesian Village Resort

Forgive the funny animal plate - it was a leftover from my son's 1st birthday part (a year ago) that I was trying to use up. Also forgive the pumpkin in the back - what can I say, it was thanksgiving! This is also the last pie recipe in this book! Yay!

This was a very unimpressive pecan pie. If you have made it and think it's good, then you have never had our family recipe and known how GOOD pecan pie should taste. It was actually better the next day than the day it was cooked. Only 2 mickeys.

Turkey Wing Pie

Yacht Club Gallery - Disney's Yacht Club Resort

I still had more leftover Thanksgiving turkey, so I moved on to the next cookbook for a solution. This recipe finished off the rest of the turkey :-) I have to admit that it's strange to have a bone sticking out of the top of the pie, but that's what the recipe called for! Again, it was a pretty normal pot pie. 3 mickeys. 

Crepes Lafayette

WDW Shopping Village

 I've done it! I've finished off all the turkey recipes in this book! All 2 of them! Okay okay, so it's not that impressive, but I'm making progress!

Crepes Lafayette is a really unique way to use up cooked turkey. It also has mushrooms, celery, onions, peas, and red peppers inside. When I went to make this recipe I thought for sure I had frozen peas. I didn't. I didn't even have canned ones. What did I have? A bag of frozen mixed veggies. Yes, I picked out each individual pea, all 1/2 cup of them. The Mornay sauce on the top is great. Savory crepes might seem strange, but they were good. With a few changes it could be great! 3 mickeys the way it is.

Turkey Pot Pie

Plaza Restaurant - Main Street U.S.A, Magic Kingdom



 Thank you Thanksgiving for providing me turkey for these recipes. Thank you Disney for providing me recipes to use up all our extra turkey in a variety of ways!

By the way... the turkey recipes will continue...

I love pot pies but this one was just not that impressive. It was boring and bland. Nothing about it was amazing. It wasn't bad, but my grandma's recipe is better.

Horseradish Sauce

Steerman's Quarters - Empress Lilly, WDW Shopping Village

I had frozen the extra cheese, nut, and mushrooms balls from a past recipe. I decided to cook them and make the horseradish sauce to dip them in. FYI - The dough for the balls doesn't freeze well. They tasted awful. On the plus side, the dip was good! I would recommend the two recipes together - fresh.

Florentine Sauce

Terrace Cafe - Contemporary Resort

 

This recipe is in the "sauces" section. I decided to put it over chicken and noodles to turn it into chicken Florentine.  It wasn't bad, but it was bland and unimpressive. 2 mickeys.

Vichyssoise (Cold Keek Potato Soup)

Contemporary Resort Banquets 

I don't like leeks, so I was skeptical when I made this recipe. It also contains potatoes. I seriously didn't even taste the leeks. It most more like a cream of potato soup. Really good. While is says to serve it chilled, I found it to be just as good, if not better, warmed.  It gets 3 mickeys only because it was a basic potato soup.

Stuffed Artichoke Bottoms

 Fisherman's Deck - Empress Lilly, WDW Shopping Village

I'm still not a big artichoke fan, but these weren't bad. It's a basic filling of chicken and mushrooms stuffed into the artichokes and baked. The best part is the bearnaise sauce! 3 mickeys.

 

Spanish Omlete

Concourse Grille - Disney's Contemporary Resort

A standard omelet with veggies, but still good. The only real difference is a cheese sauce you place the omelet on top of. Pretty average. 3 mickeys.

Cheese Crepes

Empress Lily - WDW Shopping Village

It's been awhile since I have blogged about Disney recipes, but don't worry - I'm still cooking!

Drum roll please..........:::....:::...:::  This is the last "eggs and cheese" recipe in this book! I have indeed finalized a section!

Holy cheese. That's a good thing. I love cheese. I cheated on this recipe and used swiss cheese instead of Gruyere since it's similar and much cheaper. Still so yummy. I'm sure it would be even better with the real stuff. FYI - the crepe recipes in the Disney books are awesome. Best crepe recipe I have ever had. The recipe was fast - make the filling, make the crepes, put them together!
4 mickeys!
