Turkey Chili

Mazie's Pantry
Disneyland Hotel

This was a good turkey chili recipe. Sometimes they are bland but this one was not. It was unique with it's corn and green beans. I would make this again. 4 mickeys.


Beef Sate with Peanut Sauce

Special Events
Disneyland Hotel

Such an easy recipe, and quite good. Here's the kicker. Finding chutney. The recipe doesn't specify what kind of chutney to use. I used a ginger chutney that I found in the ethnic food section at Giant Eagle. It would have been good on chicken too.

4 mickeys.



Sauce for Oriental Pork Ribs

Tahitian Terrace
Adventureland, Disneyland Park

Note for this recipe that you make the marinade and put it in the fridge overnight. While it doesn't take long to make, you have the take the overnight aspect into consideration with your planning. Overall it was a good recipe, but nothing amazing. It had a hint of sweet flavor to it.

3 mickeys.

Chicken Dijon Sauce

Special Events
Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort

This recipe is so easy, and so so good! It was easy to give it 5 mickeys.

Here's the recipe for you:


2/3 C. heavy cream
2/3 C. chicken stock or broth
2 T Dijon Mustard
1/2 t. garlic, minced
1/2 t salt
1/2 t white pepper
1/4 t chives, fresh, chopped

In a heavy skillet, over medium heat, simmer chicken stock for 10 minutes. Reduce liquid by one third. Add heavy cream and simmer for 1 minute over low heat. Add Dijon Mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, and chives and continue to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.


Marinara Sauce

Disney MGM Studios Theme Park

I decided to use this marinara sauce recipe to add to chicken Parmesan on pasta. It sounded very simple and bland, but it was actually fairly flavorful and quite tasty for marinara sauce. We gave it 4 mickeys.


New Orleans BBQ Sauce

Cafe Orleans
New Orleans Square, Disneyland Park

We decided to put this BBQ sauce on some ribs. It was good, but nothing amazing. A basic BBQ really. 3 mickeys.


Madeira Peppercorn Sauce

Garden Gallery
The Disney Inn

I enjoy making the various sauces in this book because I can put them on any meat that I see fit. Most of the time that means chicken, to the dismay of my husband. Regardless, this was best on chicken. It wasn't bad at all, but also wasn't amazing. For that reason, it got an average 3 mickeys.


Frocaccie Bread

Flagler's
Disney's Grand Floridian Beach Resort

Flagler's was an Italian restaurant that was operated until 1997. In it's place now is Citrico's.

This bread was great. I was highly surprised. It didn't look that good from the outside, but boy did it smell good! We dipped it in an infused oil and it was amazing. I even ate it for bedtime snacks some nights. 4 mickeys!

Eggs Kamehameha

Papeete Bay Verandah
Disney's Polynesian Resort

Wow was this unimpressive. Imagine a cooked egg...on a piece of fried bread. And nothing else. Yep. You got it. The cheese is hardly noticeable and the white wine flavor was missing. Only 2 mickeys. This was kind of gross.


Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce

Chef Mickey's Village Restaurant
Disney Village Marketplace

The hollandaise sauce on this isn't bad (okay, I admit, I broke it. It would have been better had I done it right). Other than that, it's a basic eggs Benedict...with olives on top. I can't say much more to it that that.

3 mickeys.

Country Frittata

Grand Floridian Cafe
Disney's Grand Floridian Beach Resort

Nothing about this recipe is difficult...in fact, anyone could probably come up with it, but it was still tasty.
It's basically an omelet with ham, onion, potatoes, corn, swiss cheese ham, and tomato.

4 mickeys.
