Kingdom Hearts’ Themed Destiny Islands Daiquiri

Kingdom Hearts III is FINALLY HERE!!!!! We’re celebrating by creating a drink in it’s honor!!! In the video game, the main protagonist, Sora, starts out on the tropical Destiny Islands. The Islands yield the paopu fruit, a fictitious fruit which when two people share, their destinies become intertwined. The closest thing there is to a paopu is the carambola, or star fruit. This fruit is not too strong in flavor, so unfortunately it doesn’t mix well in a drink. We added other tropical flavors into this beverage and added the star fruit as a garnish. This drink is best enjoyed while defeating the heartless.

Make this delicious drink HERE!

#3: New Brunswick Slider

Zoe’s Take:

9.5/10

This was a really good slider that I was not actually expecting. The idea of using a ‘pot roast’ as slider meat seemed a little off to me at first. I’m so happy that I was wrong. Everything about these sliders was just SO GOOD. So why didn’t I give it a 10/10? Two reasons. The first reason is that it takes at least 5 hours to make between slow cooking the roast and making the sauce. The second reason is that I felt it needed something. Since I’m really into spicy and hot, I decided to switch out the pickled vegetables on top for my homemade candied jalapeno peppers. For me, that REALLY helped step the slider up to perfection. I definitely recommend you make this slider ASAP.

Eric’s Take:

9.5/10

This is my favorite recipe out of the cookbook so far! I’m kicking myself for not trying this at Epcot. The recipe for the pot roast is relatively basic. I decided to use my crockpot instead of a dutch oven. The sauce was really good too, I love Chinese mustard….which is basically Dijon mustard and horseradish. The lightly pickled vegetables added a great crunch to the sandwich. This recipe lost points on complexity. Similar to Zoe I felt it was a bit long to make the pot roast. Especially when considering the final product. For example, some roast beef would have been just as good and taken far less time. Overall great recipe!

Eric’s Orlando Trip

As i’ve mentioned on the blog before, fall is my favorite season. One of the highlights is definitely the annual trip to Orlando that my friends and I go on. We’ll hit our favorite spots: Disney’s Magic and Animal Kingdoms, Universal Studios (mostly for Harry Potter World), and of course Epcot for the International Food and Wine Festival! Here’s a brief overview of the trip! Check out the gallery for some highlights of the eats!

Disney’s Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is quintessential Disney. My favorite thing to do is head straight to Space Mountain. It’s one of my favorite rides in the part. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is also a favorite. There’s so much to do in Magic Kingdom. One must do is to have lunch or dinner at the Be Our Guest Restaurant (Beast’s Castle). You’ll need to plan ahead for this and make a reservation well in advance. You can even dine in the West Wing and there is Grey Stuff….and it is delicious. Another must-do is grab a Dole-Whip…which is pineapple soft serve and it’s amazing.

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

We always go back to the Animal Kingdom for three reasons. Each of which make this park worth the price of admission: The Yak & Yeti Restaurant, Avatar Flight of Passage, and Expedition Everest! Yak & Yeti is a great place to eat and features some unique pan-Asian fare. The last two are some of the best rides at Disney.

Epcot

Epcot is Epcot…and one of my favorite places on earth…especially for International Food and Wine Festival. The festival features great regional recipes from around the world. I haven’t had a bad bite there…and I’ve had A LOT of bites. The rides at Epcot are a lot of fun too; Test Track, Soarin’, and Mission: SPACE are a few favorites. Spaceship Earth (the ball) is also a classic with a time traveling ride narrated by Dame Judi Dench. The Land is also a great experience which brings you on a journey of agricultural history and includes a trip through the greenhouses and labs. Group tours are also offered of the greenhouses. I haven’t done the tour yet, but it’s on my to-do list!

Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure

Harry Potter!!!! I love Universal Studios…but since they put in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter that’s all I’ve cared about to be honest. You can pick your wand at Ollivander’s and buy sweets at Honeydukes, not to mention ride the Hogwart’s Express (with park-to-park ticket). The other reason we love Universal Studios this time of year is Halloween Horror Nights! This is an after hours event were you can walk through various scare zones, go on rides, and of course get spooked at the houses. If you’ve ever been to a haunted house you know there are jump scares and creepy decorations. This is so much more! With some houses bringing you directly into the worlds of shows and movies like Stranger Things, Halloween 4 and Poltergeist…it’s absolutely terrifying. Not to mention a lot of fun!

Universal is also home to Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen, which is one of the best places on the planet! They have great food and drinks, a fun atmosphere, and plenty of chocolate!
