Cars Dinner

Finally posting our Lightning McQueen Cars Themed Family Dinner! The menu above is free! All you have to do is right click on image and save then print! Remember, personal use only please. 

First off, I'll show you our drink which was "Fillmore's Organic Fuel".

 

Below is our "Leaning Tour of Tires" (Donuts).

Baked and salted Asparagus serves as "Mater's Tow Cables"

Baked Tater Tots are "Mater's Fried Taters". I loved this one:) Said it over and over because I think it's so cute.

"Flo's Fried Chicken" is actually popcorn chicken although you could obriously serve real fried chicken. And instead of the fried taters being tater tots, you could do french fries......you can use the same names but change up what you are serving if you'd like!

We are dippers at this house. Gotta have Ketchup and Fry Sauce to dip those chicken and tater babies in:)

And that's it for the food! I had the food menu printed and on the table as well as the sign that says, "Luigi's Pit Stop and Fueling Station." Gotta "fuel" up at dinner before we get busy playing again! Or in my case....cleaning the kitchen ha ha. If you would like to print Luigi's sign, scroll down to the bottom of the post where it is. Right click, save image and then it's ready to print.

I kept to my five dollars and under budget. Here is a break down:

Tablecloth $1.00

Lightning McQueen plates $2.00

I already had the black plastic cups and plastic forks. I printed the papers off using my own printer. The only other cost was the food but well, we have to buy food for dinner anyway so I don't count that in my cost. 

I love the memories we are making. Here are my two oldest excited over their dinner. They helped me make Rocky Road Ice Cream in our Ice Cream maker and we had it in "Cozy Cones" for dessert. That was my son's idea.....we had to have ice cream "cones"!!!

Here is the table once more......

Please feel free to print this below and use it to make your own fun memories.

Food labels are below. Just save, print and cut out! 

Frozen Dinner

Our Frozen Dinner was so fun! My little girl had been looking forward to this one since we started these dinners. I made the menu and these food labels and am sharing it all with you for free! Just remember, personal use only please. Just right click on image, save and then it's ready to print! Cut out the food labels and fold on the white lines. 

Here is the sandwiches we had but the word sandwich has a wide scope so this food label will work for you no matter what kind of sandwich you decide to have!

Kristoff's Ice Cubes are just blue Jell-0 made into jiggler jello and cut into cubes.

 Olaf's Noses- Easy peasy......just carrot sticks!

Round donuts rolled in powdered sugar make great "snowballs".

I was telling my husband how I used the carrots for Olaf instead of for Sven so I needed to come up with something to be "Sven's" food item. My husband thought up this one and was so proud of himself! It's just milk duds but we labeled it as "Sven's Reindeer Poop." At first my kid's reaction was "ew!" but then the more they thought of it they decided they loved it. Granted, it's dessert like food, but guess what they asked for more then anything during dinner?! And they always asked us for more "reindeer poop". That's not something you hear everyday up to the dinner table! Lol:)

I bought "Frozen" throw away plates for $2.00, the tablecloth for $1.00 and printed off the food labels and menu at a print shop for $2.00. Kept my fun dinner to no more then $5.00 again! I don't count the food because we gotta have dinner anyways........although normally I promise we don't even have one dessert let alone three! I don't have a picture of our final and last dessert. It's Elsa's Magic Snow Ice. We have a small snow cone maker. I just made snow cones with blue syrup.

Our drink was water bottles. They were our "Melted Snow". I didn't end up having time to make labels for those. If in the future I get them done I'll be sure to add them in for you all to use.

The kids loved it. Hope you can use my printables and create your own fun!

Snow White Dinner

This was our snow white dinner! Like I said, keep it simple and inexpensive. It doesn't have to be expensive to be fun. I had the blue and yellow paper plates and the yellow napkins and red forks all left over from my son's Lego Birthday Party so I didn't have to buy any paper products. It's not fancy by any means but the kids loved it and thought it was great! 

If you would like to print off the dinner menu just right click on the menu, save it and then it's ready to print! Remember, personal use only please!

This is what it all looked like. Only expense was the food!

We each chose a dwarf to be that meal. My daughter chose "Happy" which was great because we didn't hear any whining from her that meal!

My son chose Doc. My husband chose Grumpy. Now just so you know, my husband is NOT a grumpy person! So it was hilarious to see him trying to scowl:) I chose sleepy so of course I fell asleep up to the table a couple of times during the meal and started to snore! My daughter had so much fun waking me up. We chose Dopey for the baby because she can't talk so it was a good choice for her. The kids loved playing a character while they ate. 

I made red and blue jiggler jello, cut them in cubes and threw them all in a bowl and then mixed some cool whip into it all. The idea was to have red, blue and white jello just like snow white's dress.

I thought about doing mini sandwiches for the Seven Dwarf's sandwiches but I was craving some chicken salad sandwhiches so I just cut them in half so they were a little smaller then they would have been otherwise. 

Broccoli florets were our "Forest Trees".

Ice water was our "Well Water."

I didn't get a picture but for dessert we had caramel apples which we called the "Queen's Poisoned Apples."

It doesn't have to be hard! I later had the thought it would have been fun to sit up to a short table on little chairs! You could also make all your food mini size. I forgot to do this but in honor of the show I was going to make all my kids do a big washing before getting up to the table just like Snow White made the dwarfs do! Just let your imagination run wild!

Hope I've inspired you a little. Have fun with those kiddos of yours and make some fun memories this week.
