Heart Health Month: a Special on Gluten Free Oats

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:22:28 +0000

Do you do gluten-free oats in your house? The first time we tried them, Mike got very sick. But at the time we weren’t sure if it was truly associated with the oat intake. So the oats went into the freezer for six months or so. This was about a year ago. Since then we’ve used oats in baking cookies, and crumb topping without any reaction whatsoever. Mind you, we are talking about GLUTEN FREE oats. See this discussion for more on whether or not gluten free oats are for you.

If you want to give them a try, these are some specials for this month – heart health month – from Bob’s Red Mill.

Quick Cooking (GF) Oats: 2lbs $5.59 (20% off)

Edible Vancouver – beautiful again!

The edible Vancouver magazine arrived at my door last week – and it is nothing short of a piece of art. I adore this magazine – everything about it. The art and photographs are modern and beautiful. The ads are relevant and compelling. The articles are so hilarious – seriously – FUN to read articles on things that matter.

And I’m not done raving yet.

The paper is thick, and recycled, and smooth to touch. I just want to cuddle with it. The fonts – modern, cool, readable. The articles – intriguing, FUN, down to earth, and yet always that one step ahead that drives me to be just a little bit more food conscious.

Have I convinced you to subscribe? There’s one caveat. It is relevant to those in the lower mainland – Okanagan area. But mostly the lower mainland part of BC. It is a local magazine.

Their slogan sums it up nicely. And succinctly – have I said its succinct? no fluff. Except for where fluff is funny and intriguing – seriously – writers who can talk about beet greens and make it entertaining? I’m in awe!

So if you have an Edible WHATEVERCITY magazine in your area – snatch it up quickly!! You wont regret it!

Oh yes – slogan: EAT. DRINK. READ. THINK.
