(Christmas) Dinner and a Movie

[girlyfied]

Allrecipes has this feature where they pick and a movie then design a dinner menu around the movie title. There's all sorts of movies, but my favorite is the Christmas ones! Like one for A Charlie Brwn Christmas: http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Movie-Menus-A-Charlie-Brown-Christmas/Detail.aspx The menu includes dishes like Chicken a la Charlie and Sugar Peanuts. Really cute. Anyway, I dug up the holiday related ones so you can add what you like to your notebooks.

You're welcome, ladies! I found it by accident while looking for grilling recipes. I never knew they had it either so I was really happy to find them. I think I'l try the Grinch menu. My kids would love that.

girlyfied - this is AWESOME! I am definitely going to do one of these for my DH and boys when we get home! Then we can watch the movie together! GREAT IDEA! Thanks for sharing...this would also be a good "special event" to put in our Advent calendar as a treat.

I think I'll use "A Christmas Story" as our theme for CIJ and use that menu to plan the food. Thanks so much for the links!!

I love this idea. It really takes the researching out of planning a get together. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting this. For years I have said I was going to fox the boys popcorn, toast and jelly beans like Snoopy does when they watch Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. I am off to get some ideas
