Snacking In The Parks: Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Blue Milk and Cereal

I absolutely love Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland and once I saw the blue and green milk I knew I had to try what one of these milks would taste like with cereal! We brought in some individual size Froot Loops and got some blue milk from the Milk Stand. How would this taste? Well, let's find out!

The frozen consistency of the blue milk proved to be very interesting as we poured it into the bowl. The blue milk didn't make the cereal soggy which was a plus! And believe it or not the two flavors work really well together!

For those of you wondering, blue milk is a non-dairy, plant-based beverage made with coconut and rice milks. Blue milk is flavored with dragonfruit, pineapple, lime and watermelon.

Even as the blue milk melted to a more milk-like state, the cereal still stayed pretty crunchy.

Well, there you have it, blue milk and cereal! I may bring in other cereals to try and see which one is the best with blue milk! We may even do another one with the green milk and see which one wins out!

Restaurant Preview: Ballast Point in Downtown Disney Anaheim

I was able to attend a taste and adjust of the brand new Ballast Point Brewery & Kitchen at Downtown Disney Anaheim. This large 4,000 square-foot glass-enclosed bar and restaurant space has seating for 220. There is also a 3,000 square-foot outdoor beer garden with cabana-style seating.

With the official opening set for January 16th, let's take a look at what we were able to eat and drink!

The restaurant is located on the second level and you pass all of these tap handles on the way up the stairs.

This location will not only offer more than 50 styles of Ballast Point's beers across 100 tap lines but also its own exclusive brews. While my friend decided on the Wahoo White, I went with one of their R&D selections that may or may not make it past the R&D phase.

This amazing bowl of "Wahoo" Beer Steamed Mussels was our Plate to Share. This massive order of mussels sits in garlic, ginger, shallots, serrano chili, shishito peppers, Spanish chorizo and a baguette. The mussels were briny and the broth is perfect. We loved using the bread to soak up the broth. They even brought us extra bread!

My friend went with The Ballast Point Burger. The chuck and brisket blend patty is moist and flavorful. The BBQ sauce also really adds to the flavor and takes it to another level. I also loved their fries being nice and crisp!

I went with the California "Kolsch" Steak Burrito. This massive burrito is stuffed with tender Santa Maria style steak, guacamole, fries, pico de gallo, cheddar cheese and wrapped in a flour tortilla. On the side is a smoky housemade salsa that elevated the already great taste burrito!

The meal was amazing and we were both totally full that we didn't make it to dessert! But we did try some more of the beer offerings. We learned that you can ask to have beer combined to add to even more unique flavor combinations! Above we combined the Pumpkin Spice Scottish Ale and the Victory At Sea to create a Smashing Pumpkin and we also combined the Peanut Butter Victory At Sea with the Blackberry Ale to make a version of PB&J! So take a look at their entire beer list and see what flavor combination you can come up with!

Then I drizzled the chocolate from the chocolate cup all over the strawberries and dole whip! That's how simple that was! Dig in and enjoy! You're welcome!

Snacking In The Parks: New Menu at Cocina Cucamonga in DCA

Time for another edition of Snacking In The Parks! This time around I take a look at the new menu for Cocina Cucamonga in the Pacific Wharf at Disney California Adventure Park.

Above is a look at the new menu. Literally everything is new and everything sounds amazing! I had a difficult time making a choice! The main items are street tacos and bowls and you can choose from four different proteins! Plus, they have salads and a new marinated chicken! They will also have a seasonal margarita flavor and two different Aguas Frescas!

I decided on a Cocina Bowl with al pastor! In the bowl you get pineapple achiote-marinated pork, cilantro-lime rice, epazote black beans, queso fresco, roasted corn, cucumber-tomato slaw and cilantro. All of the flavors blend together seemlessly and it is a rather large portion! Fresh and flavorful, this will be an item I order again!

I also ordered one of the aguas frescas they offer. This is the mango one. The other offering is the seasonal offering, which right now is a watermelon one. The mango one was sweet and refreshing!

To finish my meal, I ordered an ensalada de frutas! A seasonal fruit selection of mango, pineapple and watermelon with chamoy and chili-lime salt! A perfect way to end the meal!

I cannot wait to try more of this exciting new menu!
