Contemporary French Toast



Concourse Grille
Disney's Contemporary Resort
 
 
You can't go wrong with cinnamon sugar French toast. And when you make it from sourdough bread, it becomes even more amazing. There is nothing spectacular about this recipe, but it was good!

Pumpkin Creme Brulee


Ariel's
Disney's Beach Club Resort


While it takes a bit of time to make this dessert, it is well worth it. It's not to sweet, and not too doughy. The pastry crust has to be made first, then cooled. Next you make the filling, pour it in, and chill it at least 4 hours. Finally you sprinkle on some sugar and broil it for 2 minutes. Yum!
The pumpkin flavor is there, but not over powering.

Vegetable Lasagna


Tony's Town Square Restaurant
Main Street U.S.A.

Not a bad lasagna. I had to make a few modifications. It called for spinach, tomato, and egg lasagna noodles. I couldn't find tomato ones, so I had to stick with egg and spinach. I also used quick bake noodles (no cooking, just layer it on hard). Other than that I made everything according to the recipe.  Again, it was fairly average, but it took a lot of work. 3 mickeys.

Eggplant Crepes


Victoria and Albert's
Disney's Grand Floridian Beach Resort

I was highly optimistic about this recipe since I do like eggplant parmesan when it is done right. This recipe has tons of different cheeses, so it sounded good. Not so much. It had a strange, dirt like flavor and just didn't taste good at all. The marinara on the top wasn't bad, but the main part was horrid. Only 1 mickey.

Milky Way Cake

Beaches and Cream
Disney's Beach Club Resort
 
Beaches and cream is a quick serve food and dessert soda shop. While it is still there with the same name, the Milky Way Cake is no longer served there. They do have a milky way sundae and chocolate cake!
When I read the recipe I invisioned a sinfully rich chocolate cake. It isn't. But it's very good. Think banana bread consistency and sweetness with frosting. While it was good, it was an average savory/sweet bread.

Poly Breakfast Pizza Souffle

Papeete Bay Verandah
Disney's Polynesian Resort
 
This was a weird recipe...a weird flavor...a weird texture. It wasn't bad... no, not bad. I can tell you that the left overs get worse by the day. The only day it tastes okay is when it is fresh made. It's just strange. It's bread, cheese, tomato sauce...and that's it other than herbs. Kinda weird.

Orange Beef

Papeete Bay Verandah
Disney's Polynesian Resort

For this recipe I decided to use better steak. The recipe calls for flank steak but I upgraded it. You can never go wrong with a better cut. The recipe was highly unimpressive. We didn't care much for the coating on the beef. The sauce is good but the recipe doesn't make enough. If you make this I would advise you to just cook the beef without the coating and at least double the sauce recipe.
