Friday Finds #90: Spring Food, Spotify, and Staying in Touch

 

1 – Spring Food

The most incredibly beautiful and Spring-filled spread of food ever. Seriously, who eats like this?

 

2 – Online Value

Valuing online friends and connections. I couldn’t agree more, Fran.

 

3 – Spotify Lessons

I’ve had a Spotify account for years. This past year, when I started my Ukulele class, I started using it a lot more. The more I use it, the more I like it. For quite a while now, I’ve had on my to-do list of “non-important and non-time sensitive items,” to spend a little time researching Spotify to make sure I’m utilizing its features. When I finally did, I came across this article which I found useful.

 

4 – I Love Her

My new favorite artist is Jess Ray. My new favorite song is The Answer to Every Question (Technicolor Jesus). Actually, it’s been my favorite “new” for like 6 months but I just now got around to telling you about it. 🙂

 

5 – Improving Campbells

Ok, so I don’t use Campbell’s soup much in my cooking, but if I did, I would love to try this recipe for Homemade Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup.

 

6 – Best-Ever, really?

I just made these Blueberry-Lime Oatmeal Muffins and a double batch of this Best-Ever Yogurt Parfait for a pitch-in breakfast/lunch for hubby’s work today. Don’t shy away from the parfait because of the brown sugar. I’m tellin’ ya – oh my. You have to try the brown sugar just once. After you try it once then you can substitute maple syrup as a sweetener but the brown sugar is heaven. (On a side note will people please stop using the words “Best-Ever” in recipe titles? Seriously, it’s so un-creative and on top of it, I just find it annoying. That’s a good reason to demand they stop, right?)

 

7 – Do Unto Others Email…

If you’re not already on my email list, I thought you might like to know that I started a new monthly “secret letter” which is the main communication I send to everyone on my subscriber list at the end of the month. This letter won’t be found anywhere else (even on social media). It will be filled with everything from what’s going on in my studio to what I’m watching on Netflix, books I’m reading, things I’m learning about, discovering, and more.

After the first letter went out I was tickled to receive so many positive responses from you! I’m so glad you like it.

If you’re not signed up and if you’d like to keep in touch a little easier with me, you can subscribe here. I promise to treat your email with tender love and care just as I like mine to be treated. 🙂
