Snake Pit Pasta headlines this Indiana Jones-themed Disney dinner party

ROCKWALL, TX (May 8, 2023) For my latest episode of Disney Dinners, I hosted an Indiana Jones party to celebrate the new movie coming out this summer. I transformed my dining room into an Egyptian temple for Indy to explore, complete with a boulder, cobwebs, snake decals, a hieroglyphic table runner, ancient map napkins, and Indy’s iconic hat as the centerpiece.

Enchanted Farmhouse made spectacular custom Indy signs for me that are now available on her Etsy store, and local Dallas artisan Marbleized Ceramics handcrafted holy grails for the occasion that stole the show when I served Last Crusade Sangria.

The menu has some of the most thematic dishes to date! I served delicious stuffed “good dates” and “bad dates” as an homage to Raiders of the Lost Ark. Then I made quick and easy Snake Pit Pasta with burrata boulders hidden inside.

For dessert, I made adorable Chocolate Boulders filled with ”dirt” no-bake cheesecake. It’s just like having dinner in Adventureland!
