Bambi Dinner & Movie

This film marks my fourth attempt at a dinner inspired by a Disney Film. For this one I chose to make a Veggie Pot Pie, Maple Glazed Carrots, Berry Spinach Salad, and Mini Acorn Cookies. While I made some substitutions, I followed the recipes I used fairly closely.

Young Thumper: Oh, that one. Eating greens is a special treat. It makes long ears and great big feet.

Young Thumper: But it sure is awful stuff to eat. I made that last part up myself.

I chose to do a pre-made pie crust to save a little on time, but tried to make up for it with the use of cookie cutters to create a design on the top of the pie. I was worried about the consistency of the filling while I was cooking it, but as it thickened it looked a little more like it was supposed to.

The carrots were a pretty straight-forward process. Once they were glazed I tossed them in the oven with the pie. Then once they were close to being done I started on the salad. I ended up substituting the pecans for some chopped maple almonds. The small cookies was where I made the most changes, since the store I went to did not have hershy’s kisses or nila wafers, but I made it work with what I found.

Here was the end result:

Everything tasted great!
