Menu: Family Movie Night

With the kids home from school for winter vacation, it's the perfect time to plan a night in: Pull trays or tables up to the sofa, pop in a favorite movie, and indulge in homemade childhood-favorite flavors with chicken fingers, popcorn, mac n' cheese, and even a junky-but-oh-so-good side dish of broccoli dressed with Cheetos (really!). Put the movie on pause when it's time to make dessert: the whole family can pitch in in making chocolate chip cookies, best eaten warm dunked into big glasses of milk (or milk punch, if the kids happen to be adults).
