Grinch Dinner

Who doesn't love the Grinch?  This dinner was so easy to make and I kept it pretty simple.  

For the table setting I picked up a tablecloth from my local Dollar Tree. Along with the red paper plates and green disposable napkins.  For the "centerpiece" I simply placed the stuffed Grinch I had bought for my son a few years back, printed out a few Grinch printables, and The Grinch movie.  What good is a delicious Grinch themed dinner without finishing up the night by watching the movie?  


For a little extra special something on each of their place settings, I placed candy canes in the shape of a heart next to "Grinch pills" I had made.  I just printed out the Grinch pills printable, cut out green construction paper from a tic tac container template I had found online, and hot glued the printable onto the front of the paper. Then I hot glued the green paper onto the tic tac container. Easy right?

I also rimmed their glasses with Christmas sprinkles. I had read to use chocolate syrup to do this, but I thought that would be pretty disgusting since I was serving punch.  So instead I went for a glass rim dipped in honey and then into the sprinkles. Big Giant mistake! The honey started running all down the glasses and it was a disaster. I need to figure out a different way to do this, that's for sure.

For the Grinch dinner my menu included:

Roast Beast - (a whole roasted chicken)
Grinch Punch- ( green sherbet & sprite)
Who hash- ( I used a copycat recipe of a hash brown casserole from Cracker Barrel)
Grinch Hats- ( insert a toothpick into a green grape, a banana slice, a strawberry that has the leaf cut off, and then a small marshmallow.)
Who Pudding- basically just rice pudding with red and green candies on top)

I made a few cute labels, glued them onto red construction paper and that's it!

Who could possibly be "grinchy" with this kind of meal?  Well, maybe me.. a little bit..when I had to clean it all up by myself.
