"I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything?" - Coraline While exploring her new home, a girl named Coraline discovers a secret door, behind which lies an alternate world that closely mirrors her own but. She rejoices in her discovery, until Other Mother and the rest of her parallel family try to keep her there forever. Coraline must use all her resources and bravery to make it back to her own family and life. THE MENU Other Mother's Dinner, Pink Palace Lemonade with Mouse Droppings, and Welcome Home Cupcakes Other Mother's Dinner: There were a lot of meals to choose from when it came to this movie but who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner! Its my favorite meal of the day so I jumped on the chance to have it as part of this menu. The second time Coraline goes to her other mothers house she has this delicious meal waiting for her. It consisted of waffles, scrambled egg, sausage, bacon, and strawberries. There was even a blueberry muffin but because we are having cupcakes for dessert I decided to leave this one out but feel free to include it to this delicious spread. You can find the recipe for these delicious fluffy waffles @wellplated. ALT: If time is an issue or you don't have a waffle maker you can just grab some thick and fluffy frozen Eggo's Pink Palace Lemonade with Mouse Droppings: The apartment that Coraline and her family moved into was called the Pink Palace Apartments and along with some neighbors the house is also shared with many many mice (yes eww!). I used Country time Pink Lemonade (delicious!) and added chia seeds for the mouse droppings. Welcome Home Cupcakes: Another time Coraline stops by other mothers house she of course has another delicious spread out for her, among other food she has these chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting and a cherry on top. They just looked so good and I was able to find someone who made some that looked just like them. You can find the recipe for these @homemadeinthekitchen. ALT: If time is an issue serve some popcorn instead and/or grab a bag of cotton candy from the #99centstore. These treats are also in the movie and you can never go wrong with cotton candy when it comes to kids. Q&A with the kids 1. Do you think Coraline's parents were loving? Why or why not 2. What kind of person would you become if you got everything you wanted? 3. What kinds of food would your other mother have waiting for you?

Frankenstein who is also in all three movies and another main character. You can find the step-by-step instructions at directorjewels.com. Alt: If you want to go with veggies instead of fruit check out this recipe instead at mymommystyle.com Bleh Bleh Blehverage: Dracula which is the main character in this movie deserves to have his own drink named after him, after all vampires don't really eat, they drink. Right? A little 7-up, some kool-aid, and fake vamp teeth and you got yourself a very cool looking vampire drink. You can find the recipe here at kidfriendlythingstodo.com Alt: I know the recipe calls for Kool-aid (aka the blood) and although it might not be as effective or as thick I’m going to try it with the maraschino cherry syrup instead so it will be more of a traditional cherry temple. My boys love maraschino cherries so they specifically requested for this instead of the Kool-aid syrup. Werewolf Claws: Wayne the werewolf is a character that all us parents can relate to with his many many offspring. He and his wife are always exhausted and we get it! Being a parent is hard you gotta be a little salty and sweet at the same time to these kids. You can find the recipe at unskinnyboppy.com Q&A with the kids 1.

They stumble upon a gateway to another dimension, a doorway that will release evil upon the city. The Ghostbusters must now save New York from complete destruction. THE MENU No-York Style Pizza, Ecto Puffed Popcorn with a Cheers to the End of the World. No-York Style Pizza There are (3) options as far as the amount of work you want to put into this meal. Option 1: Since this was filmed in New York City I thought a New York style pizza would be fun. Thin Crust and a nice big cheesy slice, perfect for a family night in. Option 2: Buy a plain cheese frozen pizza from your brand of choice along with some pepperoni. Cut the pepperoni slices in halves and create a NO symbol on the pizza, then bake per the directions on the box. Option 3: Buy your own ingredients and make the pizza yourself. This will gives you more creative control, You can even add the ghost to make it look more like the logo if you do use olives for the black areas. Alt: If you are vegetarian use tomato slices instead of pepperoni. Ecto Puffed Popcorn You know I had to add slime to this menu and what better way to add it, then dessert! Although the following recipe doesn't have marshmallows, I would add them in, lets not forget about the Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man. You can find the recipe at happyfamilyblog.com. Cheers to the End of the World When I first watched this as a kid I could not forget those big red eyes Gozer had with the black eye-shadow, she looked so evil and cool so I wanted to dedicate a drink to her. Pretty much it's strawberry soda or any red drink you'd like. For the black sugar rim recipe, you can find it here at mccormick.com How did your dinner menu come out? Please share at #foodie_moovies I would love to see your creations.

"Come little children/I’ll take thee away/Into a land of enchantment/Come little children, the times come to play/Here in my garden of magic." - Sarah Sanderson After moving to Salem, Mass., teenager Max Dennison explores an abandoned house with his sister Dani and their new friend, Allison. After dismissing a story Allison tells as superstitious, Max accidentally frees a coven of evil witches. Now, with the help of a magical cat, the kids must steal the witches' book of spells to stop them from becoming immortal. THE MENU Enchanted Broom Sticks, Witches Brew Stew Made of Little Children, Black Cat Potion Under the Full Moon, and a Deliciously Evil Spell-book. We will start the night with a small ride through your palette on an enchanted broom stick. Followed by a witches brew made of little children. We toast to the full moon with a black cat potion and end the night as we devour a deliciously evil spell-book! Brahhhhh hhhhaaaaa haaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa! Enchanted Broom Sticks: Whats a witch without her enchanted broom stick to take her on her night of mayhem. These super easy and ADORABLE cheese broom sticks will be a great starter for the night. Step-by-step instructions can be found at momfoodie.com Alt: I added a sour cream dip mixed with bagel everything toppings from Trader Joe's and decorated it with spiders made from black olives. Witches Brew Stew: So, obviously this movie is about a coven of witches and any self respecting witch will have something brewing in her home so what better then a hearty beef stew. The cool part of this dish is that it really looks like it's made of little children, at least once you add the eyeballs made of a mix of jasmine and sushi rice, topped with a black olive slice. My kids did not want to touch this dish unfortunately, they thought it was too gross! but my husband and I very much enjoyed it! You can find the recipe at cookingclassy.com. Alt: For an easier and or vegetarian option make a yellow cheddar mac and cheese from scratch or from the box. You can top these off with the same pretzel sticks and chive wrapping from the brooms to make it look like a pumpkin. Black Cat Potion: There is a special black cat in this movie that helps the kids fight these evil witches so I wanted to add him to the menu somehow. I saw this drink called Black Lemonade and thought it was just so cool looking. The lemon garnish even reminded me of the full moon so I thought this was perfect! Yes it's actually black lemonade and no not from black lemons from activated charcoal powder. Before moving forward with this you can get a quick lesson here on what this is and if its safe for you and your kids. Alt: There are many dark drinks out there to use as an alternate. Try a black cherry coke or a sangria soda for example. Deliciously Evil Spell-book: There is an evil spell-book made out of human skin that the witches depend on to keep them young and immortal. Fortunately someone already thought of a sweeter version of this book using chocolate to cover it instead of skin. There are many version of this sweet treat out there but for me this was the easiest with the best outcome. If you want to shorten your time buy the rice krispies instead of making them yourself. You can find the recipe at apumpkinandaprincess.com Q&A with the kids 1. You are awaken from the dead 300 years later, whats the first thing you do? 2. If you had access to a spell-book what kind of magic would you do? 3. Even though it's just a bunch of hocus pocus would you have lighten the black candle?

A little appetizer before the movie starts. Check out step-by-step directions at tastykitchen.com "C-Rated Cheeseburger with Fries: There is a scene where both spidermans are eating cheeseburgers with fries at a hole in the wall diner. The old Spiderman is completely pigging out on them and mentions how it was one of his favorite places to eat before they closed it down in his universe. If you look closely during that scene you will see the C-Rated grade for the diner hanging on the window. I’m thinking that's probably why it closed down? EWWW! Make your favorite burgers and fresh or frozen fries at home or just pick up at your local fast food burger joint which is what I will be doing this week. #freddysfrozencustardandsteakburgers No Expectations Graffiti Cake: There is no cake in this movie but wanted a big enough surface where I could have some fun with this color spray (its my first time using it). I used the Wilton Master Color Mist sprays and tried to just have some fun with it using Miles “No Expectations” graffiti art as inspiration. I added a spider in the center because during this scene is when he is also bitten. I added Chocolate covered sunflowers around the cake as a tribute to the song “Sunflower” that Miles is singing in the beginning of this movie, which is also a great song. ALT: Spray paint popcorn instead, when Miles visits his uncle at his home he is eating popcorn. Q&A with the kids 1. What would your superpower be? 2. How would you use your superpower for the greater good? 3. Who is your favorite Spiderman and why?

"If you don't let me gut out this house and make it my own, I will go insane, and I will take you with me! ..." - Delia Deetz After Barbara and Adam Maitland die in a car accident, they find themselves stuck haunting their country residence, unable to leave the house. When the unbearable Deetzes and teen daughter Lydia buy the home, the Maitlands attempt to scare them away without success. Their efforts attract Beetlejuice, a rambunctious spirit whose "help" quickly becomes dangerous for the Maitlands and innocent Lydia. THE MENU Sandworm Juice, Day-O Shrimp Cocktail, Duffy's Cantonese Food, and Black & White Cookies Sandworm juice: Once you see the movie you'll know why I decided to have these adorable but very big worms from the afterlife be part of the menu. You can follow the recipe at cookingchanneltv.com Day-O Shrimp Coacktail: I of course had to include the shrimp cocktail from the very famous scene where the Deetz's are dancing around the table to the Day-O song. It's like the best part of the movie! I used Trader Joe's fully cooked frozen shrimp (delicious by the way). For the sauce I mixed ketchup, diced onion and cilantro with lime juice. Yumm! Duffy's Cantonese Food: There is a scene where the Deetz's are having dinner in their new home. If you look closely at the take out boxes you can see it was from a local place called Duffy's. The family obviously didn't enjoy the dinner and to think of it I might not either if I was eating Cantonese from a place called Duffy's. I will be ordering in for the family from our favorite local Chinese food place (Gourmet Wok). Black & White Cookies: The use of color through out this movie is very dramatic and I very much enjoyed how whimsical it was. I think that's why no matter how old this movie is it just never looks outdated. One thing for sure was the use of the colors black and white. So for desert we'll be having some black & white cookies. These are actually a thing and a lot of stores carry them so feel free to pick some up or make them yourself. You can find the recipe here at Sally's Baking Addiction. Alt: You can also buy jumbo size marshmallows and dip half of it in melted chocolate wafers Q&A with the kids 1. What would've been a good compromise so that both families could live together? 2. Would you have called on Beetlejuice to help you? Why or why not? 3. Who was your least favorite character? Why?

"You need to slay a shark, and I need to disappear. Here's what we're gonna do... - Lenny Underachiever Oscar (Will Smith) is a pint-sized fish with grand aspirations. When mob-connected great white shark Frankie is accidentally killed, Oscar concocts a story with Frankie's peace-loving brother Lenny (Jack Black) that it was he who murdered the shark. Suddenly hailed "Sharkslayer" by his aquatic brethren, Oscar has bigger fish to fry when Frankie's father, mob boss Don Lino, dispatches his henchmen to track down his son's killer. THE MENU Seaweed Snacks, Lenny's Fish Tacos, Crab Apples, and Candy Sushi *No fish were harmed in the making of this menu Seaweed Snacks: This whole moovie is about the sea and sea creatures so I had to include the roasted seaweed snacks. They are salty and smokey and DELICIOUS!! Our family favorite is the #TraderJoes brand. My kids eat this up daily. Lenny's Fish Tacos: Lenny is a shark who is also a #vegetarian in this moovie and my favorite character so I couldn't in good conscience serve up actual fish so for this weeks menu we will be having vegetarian tacos. You can follow the recipe @potatogoodness.com/recipes/crispy-potato-tacos/. These are delicious!! ALT: If you don't like potatoes for some rare reason feel free to use roasted cauliflower instead. They are just as good. Crab Apples: My kids LOVE #apples and you can transform them into almost anything. These were so so easy to make! You can watch the tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL3p9BbBlnU NOTE: for the eyes I used two long black sprinkles and pushed them into the apple but use whatever you have at the house, no need to go buy anything. Candy Sushi: These were an absolute hit with my kids BUT they are a little time consuming and I know we all don't have that kind of time especially during the week. My advice, buy ready made rice krispie treats, it saves a lot of time and if you want, make them the day before, they last a while OR depending on how old your kids are let them make it! You can find the step by step instructions @ stylishspoon.com/2015/06/03/kids-parties-sushi-rice-krispies-treats/ Q&A with the kids 1. What sea creature would you be if you were in this movie? 2. 3. 

"...We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive!.." - President Whitmore The skies ignite. Terror races through the world's major cities. As extraordinary events unfold, it becomes increasingly clear that a force of incredible magnitude has arrived. Its mission: total annihilation over the Fourth of July weekend. The last hope to stop the destruction is an unlikely group of people united by fate and unimaginable circumstances. THE MENU Energy Canon Soda, Berry Brave Skewers, Freedom Dogs and Out of This World Cupcakes Berry Brave Skewers: Through out the moovie the bravery of man is tested and a lot of them risk their lives during this war with the UFO's so I thought these would be a sweet start to the meal. For step by step instructions click here. Freedom Dogs: There wasn't a lot of food mentioned in this moovie but it takes place around and during the 4th of July so I went with our most traditional meal during this holiday HOT DOGS! Add your favorite side, I went with BBQ flavored chips since there was a lot of things that got barbecued in this movie (aka, a lot of explosions) Energy Canon Soda: There were some very big explosions that happen in the moovie the most fatal were caused by the spaceships energy canon. Simply get some glow in the dark sticks at the #99centstore. Get the skinny ones that you can turn into bracelets and stick it in a cold glass of Squirt, the cloudiness of the soda will make it glow very nicely and if you add ice it will look even cooler. NOTE: Make sure you wash the glow sticks and make sure they aren't broken before sticking them in your drink. Out of This World Cupcakes: My kids loved these and I very much enjoyed decorating them. You can follow the recipe here at sweetestkitchen.com or simply buy your favorite flavor of boxed cake and then decorate your cupcakes with your favorite lollipop flavor and some M&M's (that's what I did) Tip: Remember those glow sticks you bought? Add them to this dessert as well (shown in the pic below). I placed them from the bottom up. Tip: The little cups that cover the lollipops can be purchased at the 99 cent store. Q&A with the kids 1.

How did you feel afterwards? 3. What is the first thing you would do if you walked outside your house one morning and saw a very big UFO.?

"You feel it. When you really believe in something despite everyone telling you you're wrong." - Pikachu Ace detective Harry Goodman goes mysteriously missing, prompting his 21-year-old son, Tim, to find out what happened. Aiding in the investigation is Harry's former Pokémon partner, wise-cracking, adorable super-sleuth Detective Pikachu. Finding that they are uniquely equipped to work together, as Tim is the only human who can talk with Pikachu, they join forces to unravel the tangled mystery. THE MENU Pikachu Burgers, Substance "R" and a Pokemon Donut Pikachu Burgers Burgers! It was the obvious choice for this movie and my kids loved them! You don't even have to make the burgers at home, pick them up from your favorite take out place and just decorate them at home. Decorating does take some time and patience, luckily I only had to make (2) of them but they were a hit and totally worth it. NOTE: I'm using toothpicks here but feel free to use raw spaghetti to hold the eyes and cheeks in place. Also, for the eyes you can use pieces of onions instead of carrots and black olives instead of seaweed. NOTE: The ears took several tries but I found it best to use kitchen scissors. Use a lighter to burn the ears but DON'T eat them, they are only for show and taste like lighter fluid. NOTE: Add the nose and mouth last otherwise it can create a mess and/or smudge. Substance "R" In the movie there was a purple gas substance that was making the Pokemon go crazy when they inhaled it and as I was researching for my drink I came across this tea called "butterfly tea" the flowers turn the water into a dark blue but whats so cool about it is that when you mix it with a lemon juice (lemonade) it creates this beautiful gradient cloud of purple inside your glass! and if that wasn't a seller then just know that it's actually full of antioxidants and very good for you. Your kids will be wowed. TIP: You won't find this tea at your local grocery store. I ended up ordering it from Amazon. 1. Boil 3 cups of water then turn off heat. 2. Add 1/2 cup of the butterfly flowers and let it steep for 15min. 3. Strain flowers and refrigerate the dark blue water to cool. 4. In a glass cup fill 3/4 with lemonade and pour in the chilled Butterfly Tea. You will see it turn purple right before your eyes. Pokemon Donuts I was determined to use the Pokemon ball in my menu so I figured out a way to do just that. Whats circular and is so so good? Donuts! I wasn't even going to attempt to make them at home so I figured I would go to my local donut shop and order them there but unfortunately they couldn't do 1/2 colors so I just ordered 6 reds with red sprinkles and 6 whites. They were very easy to put together. Tip: Pikachu drank a lot of coffee in the movie so feel free to have some with your donut. I gave my kids a very small cup of decaf, which they very much enjoyed. Q&A with the kids 1. Would you be OK with Pokemon's and humans living together? How would the world benefit from it? 2. Which Pokemon would you take in as a pet? What kind of problems would arise? 3. Tim had a team of people he trusted to help him on his adventure? Which two people and which 2 pokemon would you take on your next adventure?

Any and all amounts are greatly appreciated. Thank you. #shermanheightscc #sd_diadelosmuertos THE MENU Ofrenda de Fruta, Arroz de Muerto and "Remember Me" Hot Coco Ofrenda de Fruta There is no day of the dead without the altar. As you'll see in the movie the altar is a huge part of this beautiful celebration so I wanted to incorporate this into our meal and what better way then to light a candle and then eat it! This fruit altar, believe it or not is pretty simple, yes it will make a mess but I had a lot of fun decorating it. You can choose to only make one candle instead of the three, either way it will make a stunning centerpiece and your family and friends will be wowed! NOTE: The ingredients above is what you'll need to make a 3 candle altar like the one I'm showcasing but you might need more depending on how many your doing. Jicama: Is a Mexican yam bean. (shown on image above) Saladitos: Are plums which are dried and salted. (shown on image above) Tajin: A unique blend of mild chilli peppers, lemon and sea salt. (shown on image above) Peel the jicama and cut circular pieces as shown in image #1. From one of the circular pieces cut out a rectangular shape (get it as tall as you can). Cut bottom of jicama as leveled as you can then curve the top as shown in picture above (remember your trying to make it look like a candle). Place toothpick at bottom of jicama (you might have to cut toothpick in half) and set aside for now or repeat depending on how many candles your going to make. NOTE: The jicama is a root so it can be a little tough to cut. Also, because there's a lot of cutting I don't recommend this for little kids. They will however enjoy eating it! 4. Cut the ends of the cucumber and set aside (we'll use these parts later). 5. Slice cucumber in half as shown above then set aside. 6. Cut your mango. Try and get a big chunk of it without cutting into the bone of the fruit, remember we don't need that much just enough for the flame of the candle. 7. Once you got your piece remove the skin of the mango with your knife, it should glide right through like butter. 8. Cut out your flame, give it a diamond like shape. 9. Pour some Tajin into a small bowl. 10. Dip your mango flame into the Tajin as shown above and set aside. 11. Now to assemble! Grab the long half piece of the cucumber and place face down on your plate. Grab your jicama candle and attach it to the cucumber with the toothpick you inserted earlier. 12. Insert another toothpick at the top of your candle (you will have to cut the toothpick in half). One of the reasons I choose black toothpicks was to make it look like the wick, it's subtle but it does the trick. 13. Place you Tajin dipped mango flame on to the top of your candle and voila!! 14. You can add pretty much any fruit you'd like, get creative with it. In the picture above I have mandarin with sprinkled Tajin and a saladito in the center, a kiwi with a half of grape, strawberries, lime slices and remember those cucumber pieces you set aside earlier? Try and get two very thin slices and you can shape them and make them look like flowers. For a video tutorial on how to cut the mandarins and kiwis click here. I didn't do this myself but you can also cut out the strawberries into roses, for a video tutorial click here. Please share your beautiful creations on #foodie_moovies Arroz de Muerto The calavera, or sugar skull, is a staple of Day of the Dead celebrations. You'll see for yourself throughout the movie how important this is to the living and the dead. The skull is traditionally created with sugar but I wanted to do something a little different so I decide to deconstruct a SPAM musubi, which my kids LOVE! You'll end up with a beautiful sugar skull look-alike along with dinner that's going to be a hit with the family! NOTE: Before starting this your going to need to purchase a skeleton mold. I purchased mine at Amazon. As for the squeeze bottle you might not even need it. It just depends on how your going to eat your arroz de muerto so it's optional. Put 1 cup of rice to cook. I like to add 1/2 cup of sushi rice and 1/2 cup of jasmine rice I do this to make sure the rice is nice and sticky so that the decorations stick to it nicely. While the rice is cooking chop up your SPAM and fry it. SPAM is safe to eat out of the can so just fry it to your liking. While your rice and SPAM are cooking, chop your bell peppers. Depending on your decorations will depend on the size, my recommendation is to keep the pieces small, it will stick better to the rice. Once your rice is cooked give it about 10-15 minutes to slightly cool (do not refrigerate to speed the cooling process up, it might dry out your rice). Add the rice into your mold and make sure you push it in the mold as much as you can. Let is sit for about 5 minutes. Then transfer it to you serving dish. NOTE: for your serving dish I recommend something round. The dish I'm using is about 12.5 inches, you can definitely use a smaller one it just depends if your going to make a SPAM flower crown. 4. Once your rice mold is on the plate cut out circles for your eyes and stripes for the teeth out of the seaweed sushi sheets The seaweed should soften, mold and stick to the rice. 5. Start decorating your calavera! cut, size, chop again and resize if needed. This is the part where you get creative and have some fun. Slightly push the peppers into the rice for a better hold. NOTE: The cilantro should easily stick but if it doesn't feel free to use those toothpicks, just give your family/friends a heads up if there's toothpicks in there before they dig in and eat. 6. Once your calavera is decorated add the spam around the top of the head to look like a flower crown. Top them off with some peppers or cilantro for added color. Take some pictures and enjoy your work of art before it's gone! and please share your beautiful creations on #foodie_moovies NOTE: My family used the seaweed sheets like tortillas and filled it like a tacos with peppers, spam, and cilantro. Don't forget to top it off with that sweet delicious teriyaki sauce. "Remember Me" Hot Coco Throughout the movie I can't remember when you didn't see those beautiful orange marigold flowers. The reason why this flower in particular is so important in the movie and to this celebration is because It's believed that the marigolds guide the spirits to their altars using their vibrant colors and pungent scent. So for our dessert we'll be having marigold marshmallows floating on top of some delicious Mexican hot chocolate with of course a side of pan muerto (day of the dead bread) or pan dulce (Mexican sweet bread) dealers choice! I'll be having both! NOTE: My 10 year old twins had a lot of fun time making these, it was easy for them and very little cleaning for me, yay! Grab a jumbo marshmallow and cut in half as shown in picture Turn sticky side of Marshmallow up and set aside Grab a couple of the miniature marshmallows and cut them in a diagonal. Depending on how many flowers you make will depend on how many minis you'll need. It's usually 10-13 pieces per flower so they'll be plenty of leftovers. 4. Pour orange sanding sugar on a plate 5. Grab a sliced miniature using the sticky side push down on the sugar 6. The sugar should stick and should look like so 7. Grab you jumbo marshmallow (sticky side up) and start sticking your petals. Start around the outside and work your way to the middle. 8. You might have to reinforce some of the petals but it should stick pretty easily. 9. Make your Chocolate Ibarra before, after, or while your making your marigolds. 10. Grab a mug, pour your hot Coco, place your marigold on top and enjoy! (they will stay afloat for a while!)
