Roasted Kabocha Custard

September 23, 2013 By Heather Blackmon

.

This weekend we did something we have not done since college. We hung out with our neighbors!! It’s not that we’re unsocial, but it has always seemed a bit forced to really get to know people who just happen to leave nearby. Tell me we’re not the only ones. We wave when we drive by or exchange a few words, but we’ve never really hung out with our in either Atlanta & here in Denver.

This weekend that changed when one of the neighbors organized a homebrew crawl for Saturday afternoon. How awesome is that?! There were 5 houses on the crawl (including ours) and about 20 people joined the event. Kirk helped me mark a glass with 2 & 4 ounce lines so I could taste a bit at each house & stay within my 1 drink limit during training. Explaining that was a good conversation starter.

After 6 hours of beer (which I kept to my 1 glass – my willpower is SO much better than it used to be!) and conversation, we called it a night. That was after much discussion about the next neighborhood event. I am loving our neighborhood even more now!

On Sunday, I got back in the kitchen for my weekly batch cooking, including making Serena’s recipe for Roasted Kabocha Custard.

After my fail last week, I am even more impressed with how delicious this is!! So light, fluffy, and it tastes like a treat. Such a great idea and a great way to get some extra veggies in your day! This would taste good for breakfast, a snack, or dessert. I added a crust to the bottom of mine to fit my afternoon snack macros, but the flavor of that is just okay (not worthy of sharing). Stick with Sarena’s recipe and enjoy every bite!

What scares me is probably different than what scares you.

I am admittedly a timid mountain biker - but getting better every day.

I'm afraid to face plant, but still working on crow pose in yoga.

⬇️ What is one thing that scares you & how are you working on it?

Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga Am I the only one still (basically) living in yoga clothes?

For at least part of the day, it's just easier to put on yoga pants, sports bra, and a "zoom-appropriate" top. Or a button-up layered over my workout tank. It makes it SO much easier to squeeze in a workout when I have time.

Tell me I'm not the only one who's not going back to work clothes?!

Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸 But reall Wait, should I look at the camera? 📸

But really, keep your gaze straight ahead to keep your neck safe in bridge (or Setu Bandha Sarvangasana). It's rare that a version of this pose isn't included during cooldown in my classes.

Do you love bridge as much as I do?

"Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know i "Every ending is a beginning. We just don't know it at the time." -Mitch Albom

Last Friday, we ventured to a trail near Carbondale for the most beautiful ride with huge wildflowers everywhere. It was a great trail with good climbing, plenty of flow in the middle, and A LOT of switchbacks on the descent. Our first 2 hour ride of the season and it was a blast!

I didn't know it at the time, but it was also the last ride on my Liv mountain bike - because I got a new bike on Sunday! ✨

If you're in Colorado & in the market for a new bike, I highly recommend Over The Edge in Fruita. I test rode 6 bikes & then took the Pivot Mach 5.5 out on the trail to be sure it was the right one. Great experience!!
