Monsters University Review: where it all started!

June 20, 2013 by 2 Comments

monsters-university-movies

My husband and I went on our first “date” to see Monsters Inc, so it has been a favorite movie in our house through the years.  We have all been looking forward to the release of Monsters University, and ironically the official release date is one day before our 11th wedding anniversary!  One of the benefits of being a blogger is that I get to attend movie screenings before the movies are actually released.  Unfortunately, my husband and son had to stay home because my son got hurt.  My daughter and I LOVED it, though, and I can’t wait for us to go again as a family!

Monsters University Review:  Where it All Started

monsters-university-collage

The movie starts with young Mike Wazowski (braces and all) on a field trip to see the “Scaring Floor” at Monsters Inc.  From that moment on, his dream was to attend the Scaring School at Monsters University and then become a “scarer” at Monsters Inc.  Fast forward a few years and it looks like his dream is coming true as he arrives at the university!

The movie had a few surprises.  The biggest one for me was that Mike and Sully were actually rivals in the beginning!  Mike’s role as the resident “nerd” was not overly surprising, but after seeing Monsters Inc, I was surprised the Sully started out as an arrogant “jock” trying to get by on his family’s name!  The two join together after being kicked out of Scaring School.  Their only hope at redemption is to team up with a crew of misfits to try to win the Scare Games.

Kids enjoy the antics of the monsters as they attempt to one up each other and win the competition.  Adults will enjoy it, too, and may also be reminded of some of their own college experiences along the way!  The movie teaches that dreams can come true, but not always in the way that you expect.  Mike gets his job at Monsters Inc, but not in the exact role he was hoping for! It also teaches about teamwork and shows how lasting friendships can come in unexpected ways.

To get your kids ready for the movie, enjoy some of these free activities:

Mini Quiche Cups

June 20, 2013 by Leave a Comment

mini-quiche-cupsThe inspiration for this recipe came from a Spinach Quiche Cups recipe I found on Pinterest.  I LOVE spinach, but I didn’t think my kids would go for this recipe if I included spinach, so I adapted it and included some of their favorites.  My kids love to help out in the kitchen, so I’m always looking for recipes they can help with and this one is perfect!

Mini quiche cups stuffed with your favorites. Perfect for kids who like to help in the kitchen!
Ingredients
  • Olive oil
  • 4 eggs
  • Fresh spinach (if you choose)
  • Other toppings of choice (we used mushrooms, ham, and sausage)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese of choice (we used Swiss cheese)
  • 2 T heavy cream or half and half (we used half and half)
  • salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder (to taste)

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and saute mushrooms. (if you choose to use them)
  3. While the mushrooms are cooking, whisk the eggs.
  4. Stir in the cream, cheese, and toppings and mix well.
  5. Spray a muffin tin and divide the egg mixture evenly among cups. We used a spoon for this.
  6. Bake for 23-28 minutes. You may want to check on them around 20 minutes if this is your first time cooking them. I cooked mine for 23 and they were a bit overdone.
