Movie With Themed Dinner

One thing my family likes to do is have family movie nights. Yeah, I know, a lot of families do. The thing is, we put a little spin on it. We pick out a movie, usually a family favorite, or maybe one we haven't seen. Then we find a food that goes with the theme/or setting. For our first time we picked Madagascar and made calzones. We made calzones because the animals live in New York. In New York, calzones are one of the popular foods to eat. They were really good... and we enjoyed watching the movie as a family. We also got to make the calzones together... which was fun too. Here's a recipe to pizza calzones:
Pepperoni and Mozzarella Calzones @ recipetips.com

If you don't have time to make the dough, you can buy refrigerated/boxed pizza dough like we did. They were still really good.

Here are some other movie night with meals ideas:
Nacho Libre- Corn on the Cob
Lady and the Tramp- Spaghetti
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs- Giant Meatballs and Jello
