Disney's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Disney's “Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day” follows the exploits of 11-year-old Alexander as he experiences the most terrible and horrible day of his young life -— a day that begins with gum stuck in his hair, followed by one calamity after another. But when Alexander tells his upbeat family about the misadventures of his disastrous day, he finds little sympathy and begins to wonder if bad things only happen to him. He soon learns that he’s not alone when his brother, sister, mom and dad all find themselves living through their own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Anyone who says there is no such thing as a bad day just hasn't had one.

Trying New Things

This morning Kaynettia surprised me with this Turkey Cup. The recipe she found on Pinterest was for ham, but we only had turkey in our refrigerator. Simple substitution. Super simple to make. Just take your muffin tin and line it with the 3 slices of turkey meat. Crack an egg and pour it into your turkey cup and bake for 20 mins at 375 degrees. 

Spray the tin before you add the meat with your Pam or whatever you use to keep it from sticking.

What's great about this meal is you can easily scramble the egg if you like and add some spinach and tomatoes with a little cheese on top. Make your own omelette type mix. I really enjoyed the over medium well egg. So many things you can do with this simple recipe to make your own. 

It's high protein and low carb. I had a bowl of fruit to go with my cup. It's a fast easy breakfast that anyone can make. I really recommend trying this recipe out and making it unique to your own taste.

Yesterday we tried Snapea Crisps. Omg! These little baked green pea crisps are addicting. Definitely a better alternative to potato chips. Less sodium. Low in sugar. 4 grams of protein. They made a pretty good snack. Like I said a healthier alternative. 

When it comes to food and losing weight we all know its hard to give up those favorites. I've found that if I can find a healthier alternative to something I once enjoyed it makes the transition a little easier. For me I love potato chips. Not all the time, but when I'm craving something salty that was my go to food choice. Now I can replace that food for these snapeas. The idea is to really start thinking about the choices I make. Plus this is a food item Kaynettia can eat even with the vsg surgery. It's a win-win in our household.

Live Action Dumbo Film On It's Way

photo: Disney

Clearly emboldened by the success of Maleficent and without waiting to see how its latest adaptations of Cinderella or The Jungle Book perform, Disney has been digging through its animated archives again and has come up with Dumbo. Transformers: Age Of Extinction writer Ehren Kruger has been hired to turn the elephant tale into a live action adventure.

Presumably, this updated take on the 1941 classic will blend CG with real-world settings to re-tell the tale of the elephant born with comically huge ears. Initially mocked for his giant lobes, Dumbo has the last laugh – and learns some important life lessons to boot – when his best pal, Timothy Q. Mouse, helps him learn how to fly.

It’s early days for the new project, which so far only boasts Kruger on writing duty with Tron: Legacy producer Justin Springer set to produce. Dumbo represents the latest ‘toon title the Mouse House is pushing into the remake machinery; Kenneth Branagh’s Cinderella is due out next March while The Jungle Book is in pre-production with Jon Favreau overseeing matters and Beauty And The Best is questing through development via Bill Condon. and without waiting to see how its latest adaptations of Cinderella or The Jungle Book perform, Disney has been digging through its animated archives again and has come up with Dumbo. Transformers: Age Of Extinction writer Ehren Kruger has been hired to turn the elephant tale into a live action adventure.

Leftovers from our Southwestern Meal

Last night we turned our southwestern inspired chicken mixture into a small quesadilla with a whole wheat tortilla and added a little cheese. We had some light sour cream on the side. Made a fantastic quesadilla. 

From time to time it's really nice to have leftovers that can be turned into a different meal. A second life. It stretches your dollar. We all know leftovers can get boring. 

Look for second meals to make with your leftovers. Keep trying new recipes.

Disney Casts "Enchanted 2" Spell with 'Smurfs' Scribes

Seven years after Disney‘s live-action princess adventure Enchanted scored Golden Globe and Oscar noms and a $340M worldwide box office, the Mouse House is moving again on a sequel. Shrek 2 and The Smurfs writers J. David Stem and David N. Weiss have been hired to write Enchanted 2, marking the scripting duo’s latest live-action family outing after penning Are We There Yet? and Daddy Day Camp for Sony.

Amy Adams starred and sang in the first pic in an eerily accurate portrayal of Giselle, the animated Disney princess who crosses over into the real world, opposite Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Idina Menzel, Rachel Covey, and Susan Sarandon. Kevin Lima directed the musical romance, which opened at No. 1 over Thanksgiving weekend 2007.

Anne Fletcher (The Proposal, The Guilt Trip) is at the helm of the sequel, which will be produced again by Barry Josephson and Barry Sonnenfeld. An earlier draft was written by Jessie Nelson. No word yet on which cast members are expected back for more happily ever after. Weiss and Stem are repped by WME and Christine Cuddy of Kleinberg Lange Cuddy & Carlo.
