Honey Mustard Dressing



Blue Bayou Restaurant
New Orleans Square - DISNEYLAND Park
 
This is such a great dressing! I love honey mustard dressing and have tried many bottled kinds. This stands up there with the best I've bought. I will make this from now on instead of buying it. It was really simple too.

Crevettes A La Provencale

Club 33
New Orleans Square - DISNEYLAND Park
 
I didn't eat this since I'm allergic, but my husband said it was fairly bland. It's mostly shrimp cooked in butter, salt, shallots, garlic, and Sauterne wine with a few tomatoes added in. You serve it over rice or noodles. It looked pretty bland. He gave it 3 mickeys.
 



Clear Chicken Pot Pie

 
 The Land Grille Room
The Land - EPCOT Center

How do I sum up this recipe.....water with a few veggies and a puff pastry on top. It was incredibly boring and tasteless. The pastry was good.... ugh, 2 mickeys.



Chicken Robin


King Stefan's Banquet Hall
Fantasyland - Magic Kingdom Park

Other than all the vegetable cutting, this recipe was really easy. Yes, it looked really long and time consuming, but it really wasn't. The flavor is great! The Mustard Sauce is what really makes it. If you don't like rutabaga it wouldn't matter if you left it out, it would still taste good. 4 mickeys! I will make this again.




Chicken Florentine




Tony's Town Square Restaurant
Main Street U.S.A. - Magic Kingdom Park

This was a fairly easy recipe, despite the long complicated look of it. The flavor, however, was unimpressive. It wasn't bad, just average. It needed more seasoning of some kind - I'm not exactly sure what kind, but it needed something. 3 mickeys.

Chicken Breast Florentine

Grand Floridian Cafe
Disney's Grand Floridian Beach Resort

This is the second Chicken Florentine recipe we made from this book - this one is far better than the other one. Just a note - you have to marinade the chicken for at least 24 hours, so plan ahead. The sauce is great, but could easily be doubled so you have some to actually pour on the pasta. The recipe was also simple and fast to make. 4 mickeys!







Polynesian Ratatouille


Tangaroa Terrace
Disney's Polynesian Resort

This is great! It has eggplant, zucchini, crookneck squash, onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger root. It didn't take long to make at all. I didn't get the ginger root cut up small enough so some bites were...intense. Make sure you get it super small. I would also suggest putting this over rice, as the recipe is a bit runny and could use the basic flavor of rice. Really good. 4 mickeys.

Assorted Fresh Vegetables


Liberty Tree Tavern
Liberty Square - Magic Kingdom Park

This recipe contains zucchini, summer squash, carrots, and onions. You might wonder where the orange from the carrots is at....yeah, it's not there. I realized after I peeled the squashes that I didn't have carrots. Oops. I make a similar recipe to this often in the summer, so it was nothing new or exciting, yet it was still good. It's basically veggies cooked in garlic and butter. That's it. 3 mickeys.

Meatloaf


Chef Mickey's Village Restaurant
Disney's Village Marketplace

I can honestly say that meatloaf is meatloaf, so all I can compare this to is other meatloafs. This one has very little flavor. We had to coat it in ketchup to get it down, and we never finished off the leftovers. It was very boring and bland. Only 2 mickeys.

Stir Fry Beef and Broccoli


Concourse Grille
Disney's Contemporary Resort

 
Once again, I made this with tough meat - if I made it again I would use a high quality meat. The recipe calls for beef sirloin tips - I might even use something better than that. It's a very average, non-seasoned stir fry. My thrown-together home stir fry has more flavor. Only 2 mickeys.
 




Hearty Chili






Yacht Club Gallery
Disney's Yacht Club Resort

This is a fairly average chili, but it has a great flavor. It's made with top round beef. I used a little bit lower quality beef, so it was tough. If I did it again I would use a high quality cut for a nice melt-in-your-mouth chili. It takes about an hour to cook, so be ready to prepare it early.

Fresh Pork Sausage

 
 
 
 
 
Crockett's Tavern
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
 
 
I accidentally deleted the photo for this recipe. The entire recipe was very simple and fast - okay, so I cheated a bit. I used pre-ground pork instead of grinding my own. The sausage is great though - it has just enough spice and flavor, yet it doesn't override the meat. I used it in the "all in one" recipe. 4 mickeys. I would make it again. 
 

All In One

Chef Mickey's Village Restaurant
Disney Village Marketplace
 
It's been over a month and I've been cooking up a storm. Welcome to my flood of Disney food posts. Let's start with the All in one. I have no idea why anyone would "request" this recipe. It's a biscuit with sausage and a fried egg. I literally just gave you the typed recipe. Yeah, super creative and complicated :::insert sarcasm here::::. There's not much more I can say. It's a biscuit with sausage and a fried egg. I did use the "fresh port sausage" recipe from this book, but that's my next post.
Totally average.
