I really enjoyed doing all the items involved in this themed dinner. I don't think this movie was really necessary, but it was cute. I mean do we need an origin story of Gru, after 3 Despicable Me movies and already another Minio movie- I didn't think so. Enough of my opinion on the movie. The girls also seemed to really enjoy it and along with helping with the dinner and the dessert on this theme.
So we think the Minions are so cute and we love Kevin! The dinner part and the dessert are based off them. We do eat stuff peppers, so what better way than to make Minion Stuffed Peppers! And since Kyrie was back to eating meat again, we made these with ground beef, cooked rice and chopped onions, along with some other spices. We then mix it all up with pasta sauce, stuffed it into yellow peppers and then topped it off with some cheese. The girls decorated them with the zucchini and olives and made them into our favorite minions! I think they turned out super cute!
Tyler also made a random Minion out of some pineapple and a blueberry to add to the theme!
For the drink, we concocted a Freeze Rayed Lemonade! We wanted to replicate a result of the Freeze gun that Gru engineers. It was just frozen lemonade
For the dessert, we made Minion Cupcakes with Twinkies. Instead of making the cupcakes from scratch, we just made a box vanilla one. That is because we were going to spend some time on the minion part as well as the icing and I wanted this part to be easy and quick. While the cupcakes were baking and cooling, we worked on the icing and minions. We made a vanilla buttercream and dyed it a blue. Then we cut each Twinkie in half and used a gel icing to make the faces and hair and then added the eyes. Once cupcakes were cooled, we added the icing and then plopped our Minions into the middle! And there you have it a Minion Cupcake!
I hope you enjoyed the many different ways we made Minions out of food! I know this movie did have Gru in it, but we had fun just with the Minikns! Comment below if you tried any of the recipes above and see you next time!
