Pumpkin Beignets

The last time I was at Disneyland, I had to get some pumpkin beignets from the Mint Julep Bar. Getting some seasonal treats at Disneyland has become one of my favorite things to do.

We took a seat at the French Market right next to the Mint Julep Bar after picking up our order.

I ordered a 6-pack of the pumpkin beignets to share with my brother again and a large ice water (I love the holiday cup). The 6-pack is $7.19 and the 3-pack is $4.19 before tax.

Here's a look inside the bag after receiving the order. They look and smell really good. I could smell the warm pumpkin spice wafting out of the bag. Before digging in, I had to make sure that they were evenly coated with the powdered sugar. In my original Mickey Beignets post, you can read my instructions on how to do this. :)

The pumpkin beignets did not disappoint. In fact, I think I like them even more than the originals. I really enjoyed the flavor of the pumpkin spices. They are worth the sugary mess.
And now for the Christmas season, they are also offering gingerbread beignets. I'm really looking forward to trying these too. Don't worry, I'll be sure to post about those soon.

Healthy lunch in New Orleans Square at Disneyland

During a trip to Disneyland a couple weeks ago, I tried the Na Awlin's Salad from the French Market for the first time. I wanted something light and healthy since I knew I would be eating some more indulgent foods later. 
The menu described the salad as a lettuce medley, julienned yams, Granny Smith apples, caramelized pecans, lentils, and tart cherries with a citrus vinaigrette. The price is $10.99. It was hand tossed right in front of me when I ordered. I really enjoyed it. I usually go for a salad with chicken or beef, but this one didn't need it because it was very filling. I loved how the vinaigrette tied in all the flavors really well. I even cleaned my plate(this is rare). And I believe it was a vegan dish which is a great option for many guests. It is also served with your choice of jalepeño cheddar cornbread or a dinner roll. I chose the cornbread. I was not as much of a fan of the cornbread. The flavor just was not what I was expecting. Next time, I would get the roll. 
I will probably be enjoying this again this summer while listening to the live jazz band that plays in the seating area and watching all the people moving about New Orleans Square.
