Florentine Sauce

Terrace Cafe - Contemporary Resort

  This recipe is in the "sauces" section. It informs you to serve the sauce over noodles or pasta. I decided to add a grilled chicken breast into the mix to turn it into forentine chicken and pasta. It was easy to make but not very impressive. The main reason why I didn't enjoy it was the strange fish flavor it had. Note: there is nothing fishy in it. I'm not sure if that flavor came from the spinach or not. Because of that, it only gets 2 mickeys. Sorry florentine sauce.

Steak Neptune

Pueblo Room - Contemporary Resort

The recipe looks simple and fast. It's not. The biggest reason is that it has so many elements - sauce, crab, steak, asparagus, and toast. The Bearnaise sauce is great. I would make it again. It was fairly easy to make, but took some devoted time to stand and whip. Again, I didn't eat the crab (which is sad because I like crab) but I did eat the sauce. I like the fact that the sauce does not contain any shellfish, therefore if you do have an allergy like I do you can still eat the meal, just leaving the crab off the steak. The asparagus is cooked by boiling it in water and chicken bouillon for a few minutes. I have never cooked asparagus like this before, but it was very good. Overall this recipe gets 4 mickeys. Even though I'm not giving you the recipe, you should still try it if you have the book. It's worth the effort!

Shrimp and Cheese Omelet

Coral Isle Cafe - Polynesian Village Resort

Since I have developed a shellfish allergy after having my son, I leave the shellfish taste testing to my husband. Don't worry, I made myself an omelet...mine went southwestern with homemade salsa and cheese. :-)

According to Greg, the omelet was good. He was sceptical at first if shrimp and eggs would taste good together. The shrimp is cut up and put into a sauce, the cooked into the middle. It only took about 20 minutes to make.

4 mickeys.

Banana Bread

Monorail Cafe - Disneyland Hotel

I love banana bread. This recipe was no different. It had a great nutty, yet sweet flavor. The texture was perfect - not to dry, not too moist. The top even turned into a sugary crust. Well worth the 10 minutes it took to mix it up! :-)
Super fast and easy, very yummy, 4 mickeys!

Albondigas with Mushrooms, En Croute

Special Events - Disneyland Hotel

Over all this was a very easy recipe to make. The meatballs were great - I would make them and use them in other ways. Again as in past recipes, this is a very salty soup. The flavor was great, it just needs a salt reduction.

Apala

Papeete Bay Verandah - Polynesian Village Resort

First let me say that I hate coring apples when you can't cut them open! I had to get my husband to do it. Secondly, it's impossible to get that pretty green filling into the apple without a piping bag. The apple cooking and cooling took a bit of time, but overall the recipe wasn't too bad. I thought the alcohol in it would have a stronger flavor but it wasn't very noticeable. Not too bad. 3 mickeys.

Seafood Marinara

Cap'n Jack's Oyster Bar - WDW Shopping Village

The great thing about this recipe is that you can make the seafood part optional. Since I had my son I seemed to have developed a shellfish allergy. Being able to eat the the sauce without the shellfish was great. I added in the shellfish for my husband. In reality it was still a very average sauce. 3 mickeys.
