Date Night Just Got Better with the new app Movies Anywhere!

 

This weekend we enjoyed a date night with the new app Movies Anywhere for a ‘movie night in’. We decided to try out the movie LIFE which is a Science-fiction thriller directed by Daniel Espinosa.  Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson and Ryan Reynolds, LIFE is a space thriller about the discovery of intelligent alien life. I am a huge fan of anything Sci-fi and this movie doesn’t disappoint!  The ending was so shocking it made me want to see what happened next in this gripping story!  PLEASE make LIFE 2 Mr. Espinosa and Skydance Media!  You might want to check it out if you like this genre.  One of the features I really like about Movies Anywhere is once you select a movie and add it to your library it makes suggestions based on your likes.  Since I am a big fan of thrillers/Sci-fi it had a list of other movies selected for me.  Some of these movies I haven’t seen so I am curious to try them out next movie-night!

I wanted to do a little something extra this weekend.  I put some of our favorite cured meats and cheeses (and perhaps a beer or two) in a basket, a fun little chalkboard sign, along with a new popcorn recipe I tried out for our night-in.  You really can’t enjoy a movie with popcorn, right?

Honey Butter Popcorn:

I love popcorn but wanted to switch it up a bit and found this yummy recipe on Tried & Tasty and absolutely love it.  Plus the raw honey makes this a pretty healthy treat!  The kids will love it as will you and your hubby!  Enjoy your date-night in!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp Raw Honey

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Vanilla

1/2 cup Non-gmo popcorn, organic kernels

 2 tbsp Butter

Directions:

Air-pop the popcorn
Melt the butter, and then pour in the raw honey, salt and vanilla and mix.  Pour over the popcorn and put in your favorite bowls, put on your favorite movie using the Movies Anywhere app and enjoy your date night. Stream now or download and save for later across multiple devices.
