Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? Mine was incredible. I had good times with girlfriends, quality time with Josh, yummy food, and a sweaty workout. That’s all you need in life right? 😀 Don’t forget to linkup to your weekend snapshots at the bottom of this post!
Friday night started off with a dinner date with Josh at Saigon Surface. We split the veggie spring rolls an appetizer. Their peanut sauce is the best.
And then for my main entree I got yellow coconut curry chicken. Oh my yum. I wish I could eat this every day. Coconut and I are having a serious moment.
Saturday started off with a sweat session with Hannah at Sweat, Cycle and Soul. It was so much fun and such a great way to start the day!
After leaving the studio, I felt simultaneously like I just got my butt kicked and like I could take on the world. I decided that meant it was time to eat lunch. I went to Over Easy to pick up their Harvest Salad. I found out it’s the last week of the salad before they introduce a new seasonal one so I savored every bite.
A lazy Saturday afternoon included catching up on TV shows and Josh playing with Legos. I love my husband.
Saturday night was a grilling party at Jordan’s place! She has the best rooftop deck. So many pretty views!
We grilled up some burgers (mine was a Mediterranean turkey burger) and ate broiled Brussels sprouts and fresh cantaloupe. Everything was so yummy! And I am 100% convinced that pretzel buns make a burger. I loved my turkey burger, but it was nothing without that bun.
There was also wine. Josh was a champ and finished mine after I had a few sips. Rough life, huh? 😀 I’m really trying to limit my booze intake as I work to lose weight. Fingers crossed it helps.
Wine was definitely not necessary to enjoy a fun night with these girls. We had a blast.
And still managed to get a little silly. 😉 Love these ladies!
Sunday I woke up and was greeted by a sweet card and little presents from Punkin. Being a mom is what I want to be more than anything in the world. Josh and I aren’t ready for babies yet, but for now I absolutely love being a cat mom.
I totally planned on going to Zumba, but after waking up and eating breakfast I decided I could use another nap. So I skipped Zumba, rested up, and then met up with Hannah and Joanna at the Joslyn! I am in love with this art museum. We had such a blast walking around and checking out all the artwork.
Just like the weekend started, it ended with another dinner date with Josh. I love getting to spend time with my favorite guy. This time our dinner was at new-to-us restaurant Nosh. It was amazing. We got the fresh hummus and baba ghanoush plate and fig and apple flatbread. I wish I could re-eat all of this yumminess! We already can’t wait to go back!
And just like that, the weekend was over. Here’s to a wonderful week ahead!
Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of pretzel buns? Does your town have an art museum you like to go to? What’s your favorite exercise to do on the weekends?
P.S. Grilled pizza, anyone?
Andrea @ The Pineapple Cake says
What a great looking weekend!!
I love all the date nights and food. I’m totally convinced with you that pretzel buns make the burgers.. but I’m also a big fan of hawaiian sweet roll burgers! 🙂
Erin says
Ohh Hawaiian sweet rolls are amazing! Good call! Man it has been so long since I’ve had one of those!

I have never had grilled pizza before but it looks amazing. Adding it to my list! I made cast iron pizza this year which I absolutely love 🙂 Happy Monday!
Erin says
Ohh cast iron pizza sounds delicious! I would love to try that!

Morgan A. says
I just found your blog recently but I love to see what you’re up to because my husband and I lived in Omaha for a year and a half and it’s so cool to see things I forgot about! We actually lived at the Highline right when they opened, we were one of the first residents! That first summer we had that rooftop pretty much all to ourselves, it was great memories 😉 And I loved Saigon Surface!
x. Morgan
Erin says
Oh how awesome! I’m so glad you found my blog! Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I love The Highline. We actually might be moving from The Bank to The Highline this summer. It would be nice to have parking right underground and the possibility of a terrace!
Gabrielle says
Sweat, Cycle & Soul sounds like such a fun fitness class and the photos of you with your friends are so cute, I love your friend’s blue and white waterfall style tee 🙂

Doesn’t she look gorgeous? She got it from H&M!
And Sweat, Cycle and Soul is awesome! I love that studio. I wanted to go to a morning class today but decided I needed more sleep! haha
Taylor says
Yum, looks like you had some seriously good food this weekend!! Is it bad that eating out is one of my favorite parts of the weekend?!

If it is bad then I’m in the same boat as you! haha I love eating out! I probably love it too much. 😉
Stephanie @ My Freckled Life says
Looks like an awesome weekend! You all always do SO many fun things on the weekends (and always seem to hit up the most delicious looking restaurants)! I’m jealous!!
Erin says
Omaha has so many delicious restaurants! It kind of blows my mind that I can eat out so much and still have new places to try!
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
Looks like a great weekend! I recently had a pretzel roll and it wasn’t half bad. I normally abhor all things pretzel so that was an exciting day 🙂
Erin says
Yay! I’m glad you didn’t mind it. I think if my dad had to turn into a food it would be a pretzel. He loves them so much. I don’t think he would know what to do with a daughter who didn’t like pretzels. He was constantly feeding them to us! haha
Erin says
Appatently Nosh has a ridiculously delicious brunch. I personally would love to find out. HINT HINT.
Erin says
I’m so excited to go eat here with you! Fingers crossed they still do brunch! I found an old brunch menu from 2013 online that sounds amazing!
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West says
Hi Erin! I love a good rooftop party with views. Looks like a wonderful and cultured weekend with a lot of good eats. Happy Monday! 🙂

Thanks Ashley! I love all the rooftops downtown Omaha has! They have such beautiful views!

Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
This post convinced me that I need to find a friend with a rooftop deck!
Erin says
You could move to Omaha…. 😀
Lauren @ Lauren Runs says
I love pretzel buns! And pretzel croissants. SO Good! Glad you had a “good food” weekend!
Erin says
I saw pretzel croissants in Trader Joes the other week and got really excited. Good to know you like them! I need to bring home a pack so I can try them!
Tricia @ A Couple of Dashes says
Wow! Looks like you had a blast this weekend with friends and loved ones! That salad looks delicious and now has me craving something similar, even though it’s so early in the morning here! Hope you have a great week!

I always seem to be craving food, whether it’s late or early in the day! haha I hope your week is off to a great start!

Katie @ The Macarthurs Lately says
What a yummy weekend you had! I absolutely love being a cat mom too! My husband and I waited 5 years to have a baby and it was one of the best decisions we made. When the time is right, having a baby is the best thing ever! 🙂 Happy belated Furmothers’ Day!
Erin says
That’s what we’re hoping to do! We want to enjoy time together just the two of us before adding little ones to our lives. For now little paws are about all that we can handle! haha Happy belated Mother’s Day!
Heather @ Life In Leggings says
It looks like you had a great weekend! Legos, haha, that’s great. I was a HUGE fan of legos growing up. Maybe we should bring them back for old time’s sake? Thanks for hosting the link-up, Erin. Happy Monday!
Erin says
A lego party would be fun! I want to host a coloring party! That I really miss!
Eva Macij says

Amanda @ Diary of a Semi-Health Nut says
You have officially convinced me that Omaha can be fun. Growing up here I think I just got so tired of everything, so I’m excited to move back and will definitely make an effort to explore more! 🙂
Erin says
Yes, I feel like there are so many fun things to do here! Let’s explore together!!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
I don’t eat a lot of meat, but I do love a burger cooked on the grill! They just taste better, ya know? And I have never tried pretzel buns!
I wish we had a good art museum here in Knoxville, but it is not too far of a drive to The Frist in Nashville, or High Museum of Art in Atlanta.
Thanks for hosting the link up; it is my first time participating!
Erin says
Ohh I love Nashville! How awesome you’re a close drive to there! And thanks so much for reading and participating in the link-up!
randi c says
I’m answering your questions here, I hope that’s ok!
Are you a fan of pretzel buns?
Um, yes, yes I am. I especially like to slice them open, slather on a smidge of mayo and throw in some peppery salami and sharp cheddar. So good. So much yes.
Does your town have an art museum you like to go to?
I don’t! But we have this amazing program called “art trails” where you can go to local artist’s homes and look at their work and speak to them about it. Now that you mention it, I am reminded that I need to find out when it’s happening again, because the kids would love it.
What’s your favorite exercise to do on the weekends?
Definitely hiking. We have a lot of good trails around here and I plan on taking the baby with me to Sugarloaf next Friday!
Thanks for hosting weekend snapshot!
Erin says
I loved that you answered my questions here! That’s why I ask them! 😀
Art trails sounds so fun! What better way to learn about a piece of art than by the person who made it?
Jenn@MarkMyMiles says
Looks like a great weekend! I LOVE pretzel buns. We live in DC and have some amazing museums : )
Erin says
Ohh DC has the best museums! And they’re free!! I’m so jealous you live there! That’s my favorite city!

It was such a good weekend, especially for food! haha
Kaylin @ Enticing Healthy Eating says
If there is a pretzel bun option for a burger on a menu at a restaurant, I can guarantee I will choose that over any other bun. Except sourdough…I think I like sourdough bread even more. Oh, and if you like museums, there is a huge and well-known museum called Crystal Bridges in my area (Northwest Arkansas) that is just lovely! The outside grounds are beautiful as well with so many walking trails and even exhibits outside. You must check it out if you’re ever this way! It’s free admission too! I’m a cat mom as well and very proud. 🙂
Erin says
Aren’t cats the best? Mine is currently trying to distract me from typing this by rubbing all over my computer! haha
I would love to visit Arkansas one day! I’ve heard great things! Thanks for letting me know about the museum!!
