Family Theme Nights: Iceland

This Family Theme Nights – Iceland blog post may contain affiliate links. That means I may make a small commission on items purchased through links in this post at no extra cost to you! Affiliate Disclaimer

Almost, every Sunday, we do a theme of some sort based on a Region, Country, or state. We attempt to try and find research on the country, if don’t know much about it at all, I have my son look up trivia questions, so we can learn more. My oldest Son and Daughter make a music playlist we play most of the day Especially at dinner, and my husband and I create a menu based around the theme picked.

Note: I try to stay as authentic to the area as I can and with the knowledge, I try to find out about it. But I am definitely not Ana expert on the world. So if you see something that may not be true to your own culture, please share it with me! I love learning about people, their past, and their food. Any information I receive, I will gladly share in each post.

This Week’s (11/17/2021): Iceland

This past Sunday, we did Iceland. We’ve never done this theme before, so it was fun to discover and try new foods. Unfortunately, because of the chaos that went on this past weekend, the dinner didn’t quite go as planned and a music playlist was not created. But we were able to successfully pull off a nice dinner with some simple ingredients.

The Menu

If you want more details on how I plan for meals and grocery shopping. Check out my Blog Post Called Free Printable: Grocery List & Menu I keep this one as up-to-date as possible on what I use, and even share free printables to help with food planning and grocery shopping.

The Menu Breakdown (and Recipes)

All these recipes are available on the linked blogs. I didn’t really do anything to change them, they were simple and lovely.

Dinner: Icelandic Baked Cod

Recipe by The Wandering Wagars

This Cod is lovely, light, and baked in the oven. It has a hint of Dijon mustard and uses bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese to make it crisp on the outside.

Dessert: Icelandic Pancakes with Jam and Whipped Cream

Recipe By Honest Cooking

We found these pancakes not only delicious and (possibly borderline addicting ), but they you also light and would be a perfect dessert, especially after a heavy meal.

ENJOY and Share!

I hope I inspired you to start something new and fun with your family!
