    March 23, 2020cookwcharacter

    Today we’re taking our last virtual tour, and we’re headed to Animal Kingdom! Grab a cool drink and your safari hat, and hop onto the couch for the ride. I hope you’ve enjoyed the virtual tours. They aren’t the real thing, but while Disney is closed, we’ll just have to be a little creative. And…

  • Virtual Tour of Hollywood Studios

    March 22, 2020cookwcharacter

    This is the third post in my four part virtual tour series, and today we’re virtually touring Hollywood Studios. We’ve done the rides for our tour, rather than the shows, because this one could take more than one day if you watched all the shows! I hope you enjoy your stay at Hollywood Studios, and…

  • Boma Banana Bread

    August 13, 2018cookwcharacter

    I have to tell you, when I made this bread, I had no idea what I was getting into. When I went to Boma, I didn’t go for breakfast, I was there for dinner and was far to distracted by all the other items on the buffet to see if there was banana bread! That…

  • Sanaa-Inspired Instant Pot Butter Chicken!

    January 10, 2018cookwcharacter

    I got the Instant Pot for Christmas, after having broken the previous electric pressure cooker I’d been given before I got to use it fully. I LOVE this thing. I think I’ve used it almost every day since we got home from Christmas! I also really, REALLY wanted to try and recreate the amazing butter…

  • Chocolate Hazelnut Beignet

    September 2, 2017cookwcharacter

    While we were in Disney World at the beginning of August, we took some time to stop at the Boulangerie Patisserie in France. While I was there, I got a Hazelnut Chocolate Beignet. I’d show you a picture… but I ate it too fast. If I hadn’t been so hot, I might have gone back…

  • Disney World Dining Review: Sanaa

    We’ve just returned from our trip to Disney World! We were there for 5 nights, and we had a great time. I’m jumping ahead a bit, because I have to tell you about the best meal we had while we were there. All of the meals were excellent, but this one – oh, man was…

  • A Ratatouille Remy Would Be Proud Of!

    July 14, 2017cookwcharacter

    Ever since I watched Ratatouille, I’ve been planning to try making my own Ratatouille. The movie version just looks so good, and so fancy, that I had to try it. Since we had eggplant ripening on the vine outside, I decided this week was going to be the time! The important thing (in my opinion)…

  • Hitting the Road – Make a Disney Car Bag for under $20!

    July 8, 2017cookwcharacter

    Our trip is a little less than a month away! Since that is the case, I’m starting to prep for Disney. Setting things aside that I plan to take, and trying to be more organized and proactive. (it’s good to have goals, right?) We are going this year with my parents, and my in-laws. This…
