Wednesday
Gluten Free at the Ball Game
Sometimes going to a sporting event is like choosing entertainment over hunger. There is always the option to pack some small snacks, but this often turns into an " I wish I could eat something here" moment. If you are a Seattle Mariners fan, this IS your moment - Friday August 26th. There will be a select seating area, close to a Gluten Free Concession!
The Gluten Intolerance Group (advocates in the GF community) will be on hand during the festivities. This should help ensure it will be a Gluten Free Success!
For more detailed information please view this article Mariners Offer Benefit for Gluten-Free Fans

I really hope to see the Toronto Blue Jays offer this special event in the future. Perhap's an e-mail to them is in order ;)
Saturday
Vegetable Garden
Currently, my garden consists of potatoes, strawberries, miniature lettuce, garlic, red onion, tomato, carrots and chives. I definitely plan to branch out and add more next year.
Next year I hope to improve the garden by learning more about harvesting properly as well as pest prevention.
I love my garden. It really helps keep grocery costs down and it's quite relaxing to take care of.
This was my first time baking with Betty Crocker and she did not disappoint! The cookie mix is beyond simple. All you need to do is add butter, vanilla, an egg, and stir. Baking time is about 8-10 minutes depending on your oven.
The mix is made in a dedicated Gluten Free processing facility.Thumbs up! It will be available across Canada by August of this year.
Awesome pros:
The mix has chocolate chips in it. Talk about value for your buck.
Easy to make and quick to bake
Minimal additional ingredients required

Today called for smoothie's to help us beat this heat! I went with what I had on hand for this recipe but there are many substitutions available at the grocery store.
Recipe:
2 1/2 Cups Frozen Mixed Berries
(blackberries,blueberries,raspberries & strawberries)
2/3 Cup Milk
1Cup Apple Juice
4 frozen Yoplait Minigo
If the mix seems too thick, feel free to dilute it with water or juice.
This recipe made 4 "Popsicles", 3 drinks and filled an ice tray.
On a side note.... Frozen Yoplait Minigo's on their own make a delicious treat as well.
