Movie :
Muppets Treasure Island
Just in case you thought we only watched Disney movies at my house. My kids love the muppets, but some of the humor is a little more adult than the other movies I have included. Check out Common Sense Media's review to see if it's appropriate for your kids. My boys also love to play pirates, so this was a hit with them.
It is an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island starring the Muppet Gang.

Menu:
Fish Fingers - I like Trader Joe's brand. You can make any kind of fish, but my kids love these.
Pesto Potatoes with Green Beans (I omitted the pasta from this recipe) from Martha Stewart Everyday Food
Kermit Ice Cream - these are really cute from Family Fun's website. I used Mint Chocolate Chip instead of lime sherbert.

Get your Kicks

Movie:
Cars
Racecar Lightning McQueen learns what is really important in life after he gets stuck serving community service in a forgotten town on his way to the Piston Cup. Funny characters and good music keep all ages entertained.

Menu:
Three Tow Mater Pasta from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food
Lightning McQueen's Rocky Road Ice Cream

We can fly!

Movie:
Peter Pan
Another classic and one of my personal favorites. Wendy and her brothers Michael and John travel to Never Land with Peter Pan and Tinkerbell to fight the villainous Captain Hook and his silly sidekick, Mr. Smee.

Menu:
Captain Hook Kebabs - Bend metal kebab skewers to look like hooks. We used veggies like zucchini, tomatoes, squash, and potatoes on ours. Use whatever your kids will eat.
Peter's Pesto Pasta - I really like Trader Joe's Pesto from the jar, but if you were feeling ambitious, you could always make your own.
Tinkerbell cookies - I have a Tinkerbell cookie cutter that I was thrilled to be able to use for something. I also made some little stars from the scraps. Kids love to put pixie dust (sugar sprinkles) on the cookies.
