We are continuing our Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse Valentine’s Day recipe parade with a very simple yet delicious recipe featuring only 5 ingredients, Fruity Bread Bites. This recipe is perfect for breakfast, afternoon snack, or a simple dessert. Since these are cut into adorable hearts, these make a perfect Valentine’s Day treat!

To make these Fruity Bread Bites, grab 4 slices of cinnamon raisin bread and cut them into the shape of a heart. Use a cookie cutter to make the job easier. The heart-shaped cookie cutters can be found on Amazon.com. After the bread is cut into hearts toast the bread to your desired crunchiness. Then let cool.

While the toast is cooling, wash the fresh strawberries, blueberries, and kiwis. Clean fruit is delicious fruit. Take the strawberries and pull off the stems and remove the core. Then slice the strawberries to form little hearts.

Peel the kiwi. I usually cut the kiwi in half, lengthwise. I then use a spoon and gently scoop out the meat of the kiwi, pulling it away from the weird skin. Once it is free of the kiwi fur, it can be sliced easily.

After all the fruit is prepped, grab a heart and place a layer of cream cheese on top. Follow it with 4 slices of kiwi, 3 slices of strawberries, and 3 blueberries. Repeat this step with the other three slices of bread.

The Fruity Bread Bites are ready to serve. This recipe make s four. To save the recipe, click here to download the official Disney Recipe or click print on the recipe below.

Valentine’s Day is full of friendship and love featuring flowers, chocolates, and handmade goodies. Combining this day with Disney, and we get the most iconic duo that is perfect to represent the season of romance, Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse. With their unconditional love, devotion, and care, they are who many Disney fans aspire to be.

Thanks to Disney Junior, fans can bring a little Disney into their Valentine’s Day. With just a few simple ingredients and some basic knife skills, these delicious Flower Power Veggie Skewers will be a big hit for all family members! Simply grab a cucumber, some sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes, carrots, and a red bell pepper to start fashioning these flower inspired treats.

To start the journey, wash and peel the cucumber and the carrot. A clean veggie is a yummy veggie. Then take a sharp knife and make five-to-eight shallow V-shaped cuts into the veggies, lengthwise along the side. Make sure the V cuts are equal distance apart.

Once the Cuts are made, slice the cucumber and veggie 1/4 of an inch. These slices will form the flowers

Next cut the top and bottom of the red bell pepper. Remove the seeds and slice it down the side. It should open up like a scroll. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out the shape of a heart. I suggest a metal cookie cutter to make slicing easier. Metal heart shaped cookie cutters can be found on amazon.com (affiliate link).

Once all the veggies are prepped, it is time to assemble the skewers. Take one bamboo skewer and place the veggies on in this order: cherry tomato, cucumber, carrot, sugar snap peas, and red bell pepper. It should look like the picture below. Repeat this step until all eight skewers are completed.

Finally, create the dip by combining the cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and Dijon mustard in a bowl and mix until smooth. This dip will have a nice tangy flavor to complement the sweet veggies.

The delicious snack is now done and ready to serve. To save the recipe, click here to download the official Disney Recipe or click print on the recipe below.

One of my family’s traditions is to watch the Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special on Christmas Eve. It’ i’s a fun movie that reminds us what the holiday is really about: time shared with family and friends. The movie features Po as the Dragon Warrior. He is still adjusting to his role and unsure on where his priorities lie. While struggling with what is right and where he should be during the holidays, he attempts to throw the epic Winter Feast at the Jade Palace.

However the Winter Feast isn’t what Po hoped it would be. It was cold, boring, and lacked festive fun. In realization that what he truly missed was spending the holiday with his dad, he leaves the feast. This, of course, is dumbfounding to Master Shifu, but Po always does what he wants or needs to do. The rest of the feast members follow suit and join him and Mr. Ping (Po’s dad) at the noodle shop, where everyone enjoys the best holiday ever.

Grab Kung Fu Panda Holiday on DVD from Amazon.com )affiliate link) to make this a part of your tradition as well.

This message is fantastic and one of the more adorable moments in the Kung Fu Panda franchise.

In honor of the Hung Fu Panda Holiday Special, I figured I would share a recipe in the SKGaleana Vault. This recipe features delicious almond cookies inspired by Po. Get the recipe below!
