Josh and I spent part of ours cheering on the Huskers at The Big Red Block Party. It was such an awesome party put on by the Junior League of Omaha to raise money for charity. We ate, we drank, and we had a wonderful time meeting new people. It was my first group event outside of the new member meetings and Josh's first time experiencing the League. We had a blast. I just wish the game ended better for Nebraska.
Aside from the game we had a really chill weekend this week. My poor guy is sick, so there was a lot of couch time. I'm hoping all the rest will help him feel better for teaching his classes tomorrow. I'm not sick but I definitely enjoyed this candy corn popcorn
while watching Despicable Me 2. :D I thought the flavor was great. Candy corn and pumpkin are two of my favorite fall flavors.
To try and not be a total sloth this weekend, I made sure to get in a sweaty Zumba session. I was dragging and did not want to go to class but was so happy once I was there. It's amazing what exercise can do for your mood and energy levels.
Sidenote, but if anyone is looking for a gym in Omaha I can't recommend Prairie Life enough. It's rated the best gym in Omaha, and for $40 a month I get Zumba, Barre, Cycling and Pilates classes. When I hear the cost of good gyms in some cities it blows my mind. I'm so grateful to have affordable options near me.
In case you've been counting down the days like I have, kabocha squash has finally arrived in Omaha! Josh and I were doing our grocery shopping at Whole Foods when I stopped a produce guy to ask when kabocha was expected to come in. He told me he had a box in the back and he could bring it out for me. I almost did a happy dance in the aisle. I have been looking for kabocha ever since I first tried it in Hawaii. Expect a soup recipe coming your way this week!
I've been craving eggs lately. So simple but so good.
Josh has been dying to get the butternut squash soup from Panera now that it's back in season. Every time he went to the one by his work they've been out of the soup! I'm so happy this weekend his dreams could come true. I enjoyed every bite of this meal and can say without a doubt that Panera's squash soup is the best squash soup I've ever had.
I spent some time on my mat doing my favorite Pilates workout
. I mentioned before that I've been feeling really tired lately and have just not been feeling my workouts. It was great to do something that was both relaxing and strengthening. I'm making it a goal to do Pilates at least once a week.
