Ideas for preparing our own meals...

[HollyAD]

Leaving on Wednesday for WDW and we have a villa with a kitchen. Thought it would be nice to hear from you guys and see what you cook at the villa? Any special recipes or easy Disney theme treats you make for the kids. Also post if you have any creative tips for packing a kid's food for a park day. We are trying to save a little money and pack snacks and eat a few meals in the villa. All ideas are appreciated!

Here are a few meal ideas we like to make:

- Baked potato night is always a hit especially when you have a toppings bar customize your own
- Lasagna (made with no boil noodles) a salad and garlic bread is always an easy make
- We have a grill night which usually consists of the corn, meat and veggie skewers

We always have fixings for sandwich's/wraps and salads for small meals
Plus we keep breakfast items like bagels, eggs, fruit, juice, muffins and yogurt etc. so we don't have to worry about stopping in the morning

The good thing about these meals is the use little to no cookware so they are easy to clean up, its not hot dogs and burgers which can get boring when dining in the parks and when you add things like cookies or brownies (premade cookie dough or simple box) it makes you Villa, Condo etc etc feel a little more like home.

Made chili last time and froze it in a zip lock bag, brought Fritos, sour cream and cheese. Easy heat and serve.

Not sure if you're flying or driving... If driving, consider taking a crock pot. Easy cooking and cleanup.
