Welcome to a weekly wrap up of ideas for you: cooking/baking/drinking/shopping/watching/listening/doing.

Hi,

What are you up to? Are you still quarantining wherever you are? Same girl, same.

Cooking:

I made grilled shrimp quesadillas with habanero-garlic vinaigrette.

You should try it. You’ll have leftover sauce, which makes a great salad dressing.

Speaking of salads, I put all my best salad tips and tricks together for you.

Drinking

I’m trying to increase my water intake. I feel so much better when I’m guzzling all day long.

Part of my problem is we’ve got a crappy water filter right now.

This Pur water filter system is similar to ours and I can’t recommend it. The water filters are constantly clogging.

Do you have a water filtration system you recommend? I think I’ve finally got the husband convinced that we need to attach a permanent system to the water pipes coming into the house but it’s going to be a while before he can tackle a project like that.

Doing

Maine is in full spring mode and is dressed in all sorts of lovely flowers. I keep interrupting my daily walks to capture everything on my phone.

Purple lupines, a Maine wildflower, found on roadsides everywhere during June.

Listening

Amazon Prime Music playlists. They’ve got playlists for pretty much any type of music you might be into: reggae, classical, country, rock, Christmas tunes!

If you have Amazon Prime, you have access to Prime Music for free.

If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you might be eligible for a free 30-day trial and you’ll get access to the music, “unlimited ad-free streaming of over a million songs.”

Shopping

Since I started baking as a young child, I’ve probably ingested 10 million calories from licking the beaters or swiping a finger along the beater.

But, those days may be behind me.

I found a spatula that has a little groove to scrape off cookie dough back into the bowl.

I can’t find one online right now but if it works well I’ll try to track it down for you.

What are you up to this week?

Have a great weekend!
