Friday recommendations, 6/13

1. First, the Friday Slides I wrote a post about on Tuesday. They're great sandals. 

2. I just finished off this bag of protein powder. I completely recommend the vanilla. We have a bag of chocolate, ironically, that Scott bought awhile ago so I'm trying to drink that next but I prefer vanilla and frozen berries in my smoothies. I'm not crazy about chocolate protein powder. I don't feel like there's much you can mix with it. 

3. 

I recommend just letting your kid wear as many bandaids as they want. 

Remember little Maribel Vance at the inauguration in January? Fingers covered in bandaids. Sutton has 1-4 bandaids on her at all times. Leaves them on for days. Probably not great for her skin. But she thinks that having a band-aid on makes a bruise or a bump or a bug bite "go away". Whatever. 

4. 

Primal Kitchen Ranch. I'm super picky about ranch and I usually just get the Chick-fil-a ranch at Walmart. But this PK ranch is all good for you and passes the crunchy test, I suppose. Heavy on the herbs, light on the white, blob-y ingredients if you know what I mean. 

(I've tried to by PK Ketchup and these people won't eat it. I do like their Hawaiian BBQ Sauce and the Buffalo Sauce too. You know, if you feel like spending $8+ on a bottle of sauce :).

5. 

In an effort to use up whatever I find in the cupboards, I'm adding red-dye-filled maraschino cherries to my diet coke and lime.
