Happy Monday! This was such a great weekend. It was busy, but not too busy. I got to do a lot but also sleep a lot. And my dad is here! I’ve missed him so much. I love Omaha but still don’t understand why the East Coast has to be so far away. But before I get rambling let’s recap the weekend!
Restaurant Week
I met up with some lovely ladies to enjoy dinner at Le Bouillon. Restaurant Week started on Friday in Omaha and they were both wanting to try out Le Bouillon. I’ve previously raved about them and really wanted to get to enjoy their food again. I decided to deviate from the Restaurant Week menu but loved everything I got. The Bon Homme is one good drink.
We ended our night with delicious cocktails at Berry and Rye and crafted some fun plans for next weekend. I can’t wait. 😀
Three Cooks One Kitchen
Saturday Josh and I headed over to Jeff and Joanna‘s for some grilled cheese on the grill! Joanna, Hannah, and myself were working on the latest edition of Three Cooks One Kitchen.
I’ll be posting a full recap on Thursday.
It was every bit as delicious as it looks.
Sunday with my Dad
Sunday Josh and I woke up early to pick my dad up from the airport. He was finally going to be here!! We were all hungry so we decided to introduce him to Wheatfields. If you’re ever in Omaha you must eat here. It’s the best breakfast food.
After breakfast and a Costco run we headed over to Mount Vernon Gardens to walk around. What started out as a chilly day turned into a beautiful, sunny day with temperatures in the 70’s. It was perfect.
After we toured the gardens we drove to the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge so we could walk across it and show my dad the Nebraska/Iowa State line.
Our walking worked up an appetite. We headed over to Pitch in Dundee to grab some pizza for dinner. The mushroom pizza stole the show for me. It was topped with truffle oil and absolutely delicious. I think mushrooms are one of my all-time favorite foods. It’s so crazy to me because I used to think they were the grossest things ever. Proof that taste buds change!

Questions of the Day: What is a food you used to hate that now you love? How often do you get to see your parents? What is the weather like in your area this time of year?
Looks like you and your dad ate well and enjoyed the time together! BTW, what were the yellow slices on the grilled cheese? yellow tomatoes?
They’re heirloom tomatoes! They come in all colors and are so so so delicious! They taste a lot better than regular tomatoes!
<3 <3 <3 how you value family.
I wish they didn’t live so far away. 🙁
It sounds like you had a great weekend! I’m jealous of the weather. It’s still 100 here!
Woah! I’m excited it’s going to be 80 this weekend! I am NOT ready for the 40 degree weather we had this morning!
I am sooo hungry after looking at all the yummy food pictures in this post haha.
Me too! haha
how fun! I want to visit Iowa… it looks gorgeous!
Iowa is pretty cool, but the backdrop of the bridge is all Nebraska. 😀
SO many yummy eats! I’m glad you dad got to experience both Wheatfield’s AND Pitch since both are truly amazing. Also, can you believe I have never walked the Pedestrian Bridge? I know… so wrong!
Ohh we need to do it sometime! It’s fun! Josh and I ran it once as part of a 5k!
Glad you had a great time with your dad!
It was such a fun weekend!
Oh I really want to go to Pitch – both you and Jordan had yummy looking photos from the weekend! 🙂
And welcome to your dad!! I hope you guys are having a blast!
We had such a fun time! I’m so sad he’s leaving today. 🙁
I love grilling my bread! It makes for great sandwiches 🙂
I don’t know why I haven’t thought to do this before!
All of this food looks AMAZING! I’m looking forward to three cooks one kitchen so I can see more pics of those grilled cheese beauties!
The grilled cheese was so good! I want to eat it again! haha
