With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season upon us…let’s not forget what’s important…FAMILY! With the release of The Smurfs 2 now on DVD, and 8 inches of fresh snow on the ground to confine us to our house, I thought it was the PERFECT time to have a little forced family fun time! This couldn’t be just ANY movie night with pizza and popcorn….it HAD to be special (I have a reputation in this house to uphold).
To re-enact my fun movie night, you’ll need to head on over to Wal-mart and find the following:
- Tyson Honey Tenders (or Original Batter Dipped Tenders)
- The Smurfs 2 (on DVD or BluRay)
- This spaghetti noodles
- Alfredo sauce
- pretzels
- almond bark (the white chocolate)
- blue food coloring
- blue sports drink (or you’re going to be coloring water or lemon-lime soda)
- blueberries
- sprinkles (blue of course)
If you haven’t guessed yet…we’re having a BLUE dinner and a movie!
Our main course will be Honey Chicken Tenders laid on a bed of thin azul noodles drizzled in a most delicious Alfredo sauce.
Seriously.
To get your noodles this lovely shade of blue, just cook them as usual, then drain them. Put them in a bowl and start adding blue food coloring and stir. (Be mindful, that the MORE blue you use, the MORE blue that will stick to your kids’ faces…therefore, if you have anywhere to go tomorrow, don’t go crazy with the food coloring!)
Bake your Tyson Honey Tenders per the package instructions. I just heated the Alfredo sauce in the microwave before drizzling over the noodles.
It’s OH SO important to serve this meal with a blue drink.
We opted for a sports drink, but the possibilities are endless. Kool-aid, sports drinks, blue milk, blue lemon-lime soda. It doesn’t really matter which you choose…just make it fun and blue.
We DID have blueberries, but my kids ate them all WHILE I was cooking the noodles!
So…we topped it off with blue chocolate covered pretzels!
Just heat your almond bark according to the package directions and when you’re ready to dip the pretzels, add some blue food coloring FIRST! Then, dip away. Place them on wax paper and then add sprinkles (the kids LOVE this part).
Now that your bellies are full…sit back, relax, and watch The Smurfs 2!
What BLUE food would YOUR kids love to eat while watching The Smurfs 2??
Such a fun movie night! I love the yummy looking pretzels & fun dinner! I should of made a blue drink. Ours included homemade Smurf Cupcakes! Stop by sometime if you like. Stopping by from SF.
Thanks! I’m headed over now to check out what blue goodies you made!
We love the honey tender in my home
!! My hubby is a goof ball and claims they remind of him sweet and sour chicken lol
What a great idea. I love the blue spaghetti. The smurfs is my favourite movie. i think I’ll do this with my kids in the new year.
I love those pretzels and the chicken looks great…I wish I could have as much luck with my pasta as you… I just can’t get it to work. As for blue food, blueberries…no doubt about it!
OMG everything is blue and looks very tasty
That is the prettiest spaghetti I ever did see!! We had some blue sprinkled sugar cookies this weekend, but they weren’t nearly as creative as what you made!
Wonder if my kids would eat their veg if they were blue! What a fun idea….
Love Tyson chicken products! Love the Smurfs, too! Our daughter would get a kick out of blue “sketti”, so I might have to make this for her soon!
What a great idea! I am going to start having theme snacks like this when we watch movies!
Those blue spaghetti noodles are so interesting! I’m sure my toddler would love it!
We just watched the first Smurf’s, now we will have to watch the 2nd one. Looks like you had a great night.
I love the fact that everything is blue! Love he smurf theme!
What a great idea. I love those blue pretzels but all of the food ideas are great. My sons when they were younger would most likely have wanted blue ice cream.
This is such a great idea! I love that everything is blue. And those dipped pretzels look amazing!
This is such an adorable idea!
The blue pasta is such a fun twist and tie-in. I would do that just for the heck! Of course, coated pretzels…always a win.
oooh! Such great ideas! Although the blue doesn’t make me want to eat the food, just look at them! lol!
I wonder if there is an all natural , non gmo blue food dye ?
What fun!!! I love all the BLUE!! Great ideas! Smurfs 2 was great! Nice job!!! #client
