Bang Bang Shrimp VIDEO – Bonefish Grill Copycat

Crockpot Candy VIDEO – Crockpot Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Marshmallow Fruit Salad

Mexican Cauliflower Rice

Mar 15, 2017

You guys.

I’m obsessed with cauliflower again.

I’ve had it everyday for, like, a month straight.

For breakfast.

I know. 

I swear it’s amazing though! I do some riced cauliflower with some riced sweet potato with diced turkey bacon and a fried egg. And then just a tiny bit of maple syrup and a giant drizzle of sriracha on top. Sounds weird, but just trust me.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mar 07, 2017

Hi guys!

We’re officially back from New Orleans and back to school and work and all that. Bleh, real life.

But we had the best time! My boys are already talking about going back next year and I’m so excited they love it (and New Orleans) as much as I do.

Can we talk TV for a minute? I have to get this off my chest.

We finished Breaking Bad last week. I have heard so much about it over the past few years so I just knew we were going to love it. We kind of hated it. Well, we hated the first 3 seasons. It took us 3 months to get through them. I finally got really into it in the last episode of the 4th season. Like, really into it. Like, WE HAVE TO WATCH ALL THE EPISODES RIGHT NOW into it. And then when we finally made it to the very last episode? That everyone said was perfect? That everyone said they cried over?

It was stupid. And I hated it. And I wish I’d never even started the show.

Ugh. It was like LOST Part 2 for me. Super frustrating ending where nothing was really wrapped up.

I’ve given up on TV. Except I’m currently marathoning The White Queen (again) because I’ve been sucked into The Cousins’ War book series by Phillippa Gregory (again).

Hurricane Pops

Feb 24, 2017

Hurricane Pops! The classic Hurricane cocktail as a popsicle! Perfect for Mardi Gras!

TGIF!

You guys. We’re headed to New Orleans today – the boys are going to their first ever New Orleans Mardi Gras and we are SO EXCITED.

We meant to go last year but uhhh… you know, the assault happened and my protective order hearing was the day after Mardi Gras. So yeah, obviously had to cancel. But we’re going this year!

We’re from Mobile originally (the home of Mardi Gras in the US) so the boys have been to Mardi Gras but the celebrations in the 2 cities are so different and I feel like they really need to experience both. And we’re staying with family that we haven’t seen since last summer so it’ll be a good time.

Follow along on Instagram and Snapchat (amandalivesay) if you want to see what we’re up to!

Maple Bacon Monkey Bread

Maple Bacon Monkey Bread - a sweet and salty twist on the classic monkey bread. It starts with canned biscuits so it's super quick and easy!

Hey ya’ll! How was the long weekend?

My kids were with their dad so I had 3 glorious days of doing whatever I wanted. But still, I was pretty excited to get them back last night. I ran to Target yesterday morning for some recipe supplies and found myself buying them all new shoes and it turns out I kinda miss them by day 3.

Happy almost Friday!

How’s your week been? I feel like I needed to tell you guys about something that happened earlier in the week buuuuuut I can’t remember what it was. I guess it wasn’t super important.

Anyway.

It’s been gross and rainy here in Texas and I’m so over it. I had fully switched over to my spring wardrobe and now I’m back in jackets. Not okay.

Heeeey guys, happy Monday!

You guys. I was sick all weekend.

All. Weekend.

How does this happen to me? I don’t know anyone that’s sick. I have no idea where I got it. But it was horrible and I’m happy to be feeling mostly better today.

The cold did, however, give me plenty of time to binge watch season 2 of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I’ve never been more excited to get a notification on my phone than when Netflix told me that it was available. I was obsessed with the first season and then I kind of stopped watching TV a few months ago and forgot about it. But it’s still amazing and I highly recommend it if you’re into weird musical/romantic comedy-type things.

I’m usually not but I love that show.

Blood Orange 75

Feb 06, 2017

Happy Monday!

How’d your team do? What’d you cook? Should we start a petition to make the day after the Super Bowl a national holiday?

Anyway, let’s ease into the week with a cocktail, eh?

I’m obsessed with blood oranges as I am every year around this time.

Even my kids are hooked on them. I bought a bag of regular oranges last week and my littlest looked at me and said, “Where are the bloody ones?”

Will you be watching? I don’t know if I will or not. I kinda gave up on football once we moved from Colorado and I couldn’t see the Broncos every weekend.

Anyway, this week’s menu is ready to go! Enjoy!

Hey guys, happy almost Friday! I hope your week has been fab!

My kids have a half day at school today. Isn’t it weird to have a half day on a Thursday? I will never understand it.

Like, the beauty of a half day is that it’s supposed to kick off the weekend. Right? But nope, they have to get up on Friday and go to school.
