In this fun family film, inventor Flint Lockwood, builds a machine that converts water into food and becomes a local hero when tasty treats fall from the sky like rain. But, when the machine spins out of control and threatens to bury the whole world under giant mounts of food, Flint finds he may have bitten off more than he can chew. |

2. Apple Nachos by Misha & Vicki Collins, The Adventurous Eaters Club
|
In their new book, The Adventurous Eaters Club, TV star Misha Collins and his wife, journalist and historian Vicki Collins, show families how to be mealtime adventurers so that kids might have a lifelong relationship with real food.
A favorite flick in their home is the story of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Centered on a tricky, clever fox, who steals food from nasty farmers to feed his family, Mr. Fox ends up stealing enough food for a celebratory feast for all the animals--including veggies for bunnies. At one point in the film, Mr. Fox sneaks into farmer Bean’s apple cider cellar to snag some cider. In Misha and Vicki's family, they like to pair this movie with their kid-friendly apple snack: Apple Nachos. Protein-packed and filled with appl-y goodness, this snack makes a fresh alternative to classic movie-night nachos. |
