#1 Homemade In & Out Burgers

My parents have an In & Out like 10 minutes away from them and I am insanely jealous. I rarely eat red meat but there are times when I totally CRAVE a good burger. Usually when that desire hits, I make something at home because our selection of legit burger joints in Omaha leaves me less than satisfied. Over the weekend while I was grocery shopping, there was a big sale on some grass-fed Brisket Burgers and I couldn’t help myself. Kyle could eat steak, burgers, etc. on a daily basis so sometimes I try and oblige him by picking up whatever the guy at the meat counter suggests. This time, it was those burgers. I was actually super excited to try them and when I was thinking about how I could make them better-than-normal, I decided I was going to try and recreate my beloved Cheeseburger with no onions. It was SO GOOD that we wanted them 2 days in a row. For the ‘special sauce’ I used light mayo, spicy ketchup, sweet relish and white vinegar and just eyeballed the amounts. If you’re a meat-eater, I suggest trying to make these immediately! 🙂

#2 A Weekend with Palmer

Usually my second bullet focuses on fitness but I’m beyond excited to play Aunt KiKi all weekend to my adorable nephew, P so family is taking over instead! Haley & Adam are heading to Vegas tonight – Sunday and I get him allllllllllllllllll to myself. I’m seriously so excited to 3 days with the little nugget. If you follow me on Instagram (@amidwesternmix) or Snapchat (@kristinkruse), I will apologize in advance for the overload of Palmer snaps & videos. Clearly I’m biased because he’s family but I swear he gets cuter and cuter every time we see him. Kyle has a busy weekend of golf so I’m planning walks, shopping and coffee stops with P Diddy and then Uncle Ky gets to try his hand in watching him solo on Sunday when I go workout. We’ll see if he’s up for the challenge. It’s no secret to anyone who has followed along our infertility journey that I’ve been dying to be a mama for 2 years so getting to practice and play pretend this weekend is giving me all of the feels. He’ll be here around 3pm today and I’m counting down the hours!
