Helllllllo! And welcome to my new blog :)

It will primarily be a cooking blog but maybe I'll post other things every once in awhile. My main purpose in this is to chronicle recipes my husband and I share together. I find myself altering lots of recipes, so I want to have my notes in a place where I can easily access them again! I use lots of recipes I find online, and sometimes it's just too much work to find the recipe again. Also, I'd like to let my family and friends in on what my life is like out here in Hawaii. We are so far from home.

I named the blog Living A-LA-BA on account of a silly nonsensical thing. We have a favorite restaurant in Lincoln Nebraska called Vincenzo's. They have this ammmmmmazing dish called Chicken Soto, and in our (failed) attempts to re-create it, we decided to call our version Chicken a-la-ba (a-la: of, ba: Brian & Amber). Since then, it has become a tender little joke of ours; everything is a-la-ba and this title to us usually is followed by laughter. We have lots of wonderful memories of this together, so I thought it was fitting. I hardly put any thought into, it was just the obvious title to me.

Love,
Amber
