Butterbeer - Not just for kids and "mugles"

Inspired from a visit at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL, most notably the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It's a theme park inspired by the books and movies of fictional childhood hero Harry Potter. The park offers rides, restaurants, shows, shops and pretty much every experience from the "wizardly" franchise. Children, adults, mugles, etc. can equally enjoy the park and experience what it is like to be a witch or wizard.

For the big kids in the park, visit the park's only brewery, the Hog's Head Pub. The head on the wall literally comes to life as it grunts, snares and breathes just like in the film. The pub offers alcoholic drinks but most notably, BUTTERBEER. It is a non-alcoholic drink made of primarily cream soda, butterscotch and/or butter. It is offered in a frozen form and a non-frozen form. I had the regular non-frozen one and it was mighty tasty. You get the flavor explosion of the combined cream soda and butterscotch. And it also looks way cool. For kids that are too young for alcoholic beverages, this is a nice way for them to feel like one of the adults. All in good fun!

Spaghetti Tacos - Don’t Knock It Till You Try It

Sparked interest from a Nickelodeon show called iCarly, the new kids’ food fad are Spaghetti Tacos.

When I first heard of this, one thing came to mind: why didn’t I think of this? Growing up  in the 80s, I have been invited to countless birthday parties from neighbors, friends, family members, etc. One staple that is never absent from the table is SPAGHETTI. Kids love this conglomerate of tomato sauce, meat and noodles. Who wouldn’t? It is such an easy meal to prepare. Kids love tacos as well, though the preparation takes just a big longer than spaghetti. This quick and simple recipe is the best of both worlds! Your kids will love it!
