Disneyland Food & Wine Festival Food Guide I’ve been to the Disneyland Food and Wine Festival every year it’s been offered the past few years! And just as a side note, the festival is actually in Disney’s California Adventure – Disneyland is just easier to type! This year I took my three siblings along with me for opening day and we had a blast trying everything on the Disneyland food festival menus!...
One of my favorite holiday traditions (it’s even on our Christmas bucket list) to make Christmas ornaments with the kids. They love making them, and I love pulling them out and seeing them hanging on our tree year after year! These DIY Christmas ornaments for kids are perfect for the little ones in your life! They can either make the ornaments to keep on their own or you can gift them to parents, grandparents, or even friends!...
This has been the year of Grinch at our house! It’s the first year we’ve really done a Grinchmas celebration, and it’s so much fun! From the Grinch gift exchange we did at my son’s classroom party to this Grinch themed Christmas punch game, it’s just been an absolute blast! I’m pretty sure a Grinch themed Christmas is going to be an annual thing, complete with the who pudding! Out of all of the Grinch treats (even the Grinch sugar cookies) I’ve made this year, these caramel Grinch snacks may just be the easiest yet....
There are very few things in life that I enjoy more than a good ice cream cake. And this Oreo ice cream cake makes me think of Joey from friends describing Rachel’s famous trifle – Oreos good, ice cream sandwiches, good. Chocolate sauce, good. It’s literally everything good in one amazingly easy cake! I mean there’s a reason my neighbors got me an Oreo ice cream cake for my birthday last year – I didn’t share a single slice!...
There’s just something about an old-fashioned apple dessert that screams fall. Now that fall is less than a week away, I’m ready to scream. Scream fall that it is! I’m ready to throw an apple party, eat pumpkin cream cheese muffins for breakfast, and play Halloween games daily until October 31st! And since we’re screaming fall, I thought I’d share this fun spin on an old-fashioned apple crumble recipe. Because there’s just something about apples that says fall is here!...
One of my favorite things to do for Disney vacations is to DIY shirts, like last year’s matching Lion King shirts. This year was no different with a Beauty and the Beast themed day, a Moana themed day, Star Wars, Marvel, and you get the picture. But out of all of them, I think the DIY shirts I made for Beauty and the Beast were my favorite. And they’d make super fun Beauty and the Beast gifts for lovers of the movie!...
Easy Calzone Recipe I’m a big sucker for pizza – all things pizza really. Pizza loaf, mini pizza pies, even fruit pizza. But know what I’m ever more of a sucker for? Calzones. Any time there are calzones on a menu, I go for those instead of a regular pizza. Well those and pepperoni rolls. With all of the parties that I host, I wanted to figure out a way to make an easy calzone recipe that would work for parties since a great big calzone really isn’t a good way to go for a party buffet....
With 4th of July just a week away, it’s time to finish my red, white, and blue posts for the year! I’ve already shared tons of recipes like this red, white, and blue cake and this 4th of July pinwheel cookie recipe. Oh and don’t forget the rice krispie cookies studded with July 4th sprinkles and patriotic M&Ms. But today we’re getting back into things to do (not eat) on fourth of July with this fun and easy 4th of July sparkler craft....
I’ve a huge fan of Disney if you couldn’t tell by my Disney board game or the amount of Disneyland food I’ve consumed in the past three years. Disney Plus subscribers, Disneyland annual passholders – yeah we’re Disney fanatics around here. And I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the classic Disney movies. This Disney matching game printable is full of popular quotes from some of the most popular animated Disney movies....
There are a few flavors that I can’t get enough of around Christmastime. Cranberry orange (like in these cranberry orange muffins) is one, hot chocolate (like these hot chocolate muddy buddies) is other, and peppermint is the last one. I already shared my peppermint hot chocolate recipe so today I’m sharing some yummy peppermint sugar cookies to go along with it! If you’ve ever had a Chick Fil-A peppermint milkshake, these remind me of those with their peppermint flavor, chocolate shavings, and peppermint crunch on top....

Marvel Movie Quote Matching Game I decided to celebrate Marvel’s 10 year anniversary last year, it would be fun to put together a Marvel movie quotes matching game.

One of my favorite things about moving to Texas is having an entire new world of places to see and things to do open to me. Everywhere we go there’s a new restaurant, a new park, and a new experience to be had. One of the places I had the chance to explore a bit this summer was Grapevine, Texas. Grapevine is just about twenty minutes from our new home and full of great things for kids and adults alike....
There’s just something about serving up cute Christmas appetizers and treats during the holiday season. It’s like if something looks like a Christmas character, it tastes better. Case in point? These Grinch cupcakes and these melted snowman cookies. Oh and of course these reindeer brownie balls, they’re way better than the original brownie balls recipe simply because they look like reindeer! And it’s not just for kids – I’ve seen plenty of grown adults getting excited about Christmas tree cookies and Santa hat cupcakes!...
While I know not everyone loves it, I personally love a good baked ham, especially a sweet glazed ham! I’m pretty sure it’s because I love ham sandwiches and scalloped potatoes or maybe it’s just because I’m more of a pork person than a beef one. Either way, I love a good ham and wish that we ate them more often! This ham recipe would be perfect for either Easter Sunday or a Christmas ham with its apple cider glaze....
Tis the season for all the cookies! ALL OF THEM! I’m not sure how but Christmas season is here and I for one am excited to bake all the cookies this year. These cherry cheesecake cookies are perfect for the holidays but really any time of the year! You’re going to love these cookies if you like sugar cookies, cheesecake (like these mini cheescakes), or cherry pie. They’re a perfect combination of all three....
I don’t know about you, but I love potatoes. I’ve already share the best air fryer fries, easy mashed potatoes, and even creamy twice baked potatoes. But these hash brown cups are special because they’re one of the first recipes I ever shared here on Play Party Plan. I’m a big fan of adding lots of toppings to baked potatoes and thought – why can’t we do that with hash browns?...
I’ve always been a big fan of sweet and salty snacks, like these bacon cinnamon rolls or these bacon wrapped dates. There’s just something about sweet and salty together in one bite that always has me coming back for more. These Valentine’s Day pretzels are more sweet than salty but they still give you enough salt on the pretzels to give them that nice sweet and salty combo that’s so yummy....
