Jackson Hole Fall Soccer Tournament

 So 2 days of soccer in Jackson Hole, WY was a very tiring experience.  Karleigh's team did an amazing job.  Especially this being their first tournament together. 


The Transtrum White U11 Girls team won GOLD!  YEAH!
In the championship game Karleigh scored all three goals making it 3-0.  The coach gave his hat for her to wear for getting the "HAT TRICK"!  Wow, were we proud of her. 
We did find some awesome places in Jackson to eat.  Betty Rock Cafe served many Gluten free foods.  We also had cookies for Lotus Cafe.  It was so nice to be able to travel and have options other than what I bring and cook in the hotel room.

 We had the best time in Yellowstone's Bear World.  It is located outside of Rexberg, ID.  You can drive throughout the park and see deer, elk, grizzly bear, black bears, wolfs, and bison. 
 The bears were so calm.  They would sit in the middle of the road and watch you drive by. 
The petting zoo was a hit for the girls. 
There were also some small amusement rides.

 Today was a great day.  We drove to Idaho Falls and spent the night last night.  This morning we woke up and headed up to visit Yellowstone's Bear World.  Worth every penny.  We all loved it.

Chocolate covered strawberries

So today a girl in Kennedy's class brought fruit kabobs for her birthday.  Kennedy ate one of the chocolate covered strawberries!  NOT GOOD!  She came home tonight and instantly had diarrhea.  I know that the teacher can't police what all of the students are eating and that it is Kennedy's responsibility to not eat the chocolate.  She is only 6 and it is hard to say no to chocolate.  Now it will take us a week to get her back on track!

Udi's Gluten Free Pizza Crusts

I bought these pizza crust's at the Boise Co-op yesterday and have been so excited to try them since the Udi's bread and bagel's are so good.  You get two thin pizza crust's per package and as usual with gluten free food it is not cheap.  They made great pizza and good to have on hand for a quick pizza.

Udi's Bagel Pizza

Here is a quick meal idea.  Instead of mixing up a batch of pizza crust I decided to try making bagel pizzas.  Udi's gluten free bagels are awesome.

Two Soccer Games Today

Today Kennedy had her first soccer game.  Papa Neil took her to her game because Karleigh had a game in Nampa at the same time and I had a baby shower.  She made 3 goals.
Karleigh also had an awesome game.  FC Nova won 3-1.

Karleigh's Soccer Game

Tonight we had a soccer game against Karleigh's old team.  We lost 4-1!  The team we played is the best in the U11 girls group so we did pretty well considering that.  They have been to 3 out of state tournaments this summer so they are in sync.

Karleigh's Science Project

Karleigh had a science project this week.  We had to make a recipe and discover yeast.  We decided to make a gluten free pizza.  Tomorrow she will take it to school for lunch.

Spirit of Boise Balloon Rally

Tonight Boise hosted a night glow of hot air balloons.  We went down to Ann Morrison Park in Boise to check it out.  We met some friends, James and his girlfriend and sat on the grass waiting for dusk.  They had some pretty cool balloons, but by far the BSU one had my vote for being the best!

Karleigh's First FC Nova U11 Soccer Game

Karleigh plays in the first game against Nampa Nitro. 
She had one goal and they one with a 3-2 score.
She is #42 this year.  That was her Dad's basketball number.
Kennedy would rather hang out and play her Nintendo DS.  She has also met a few of the siblings and they all played together during the game.

Food from our garden

Finally!  We got to pick tomatoes from our garden today.  We had everything to make a fresh bowl of salsa.  The girls said that it was the best salsa that they had ever eaten!  YEAH!

Gluten Free MIni Corn dogs

                                        
Mini Corn Dogs


1 pack uncured, nitrate gluten free 100% beef hot dogs

2 cups Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix (without yeast packet)

1 cup yellow cornmeal

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 eggs slightly beaten

2 cups warm water

Yield: 8

In a 12-inch skillet heat approximately 2-inches of oil to 375°.

Slice hot dogs into quarters and set aside.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Lightly whisk eggs and water. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, whisking until smooth. Heavily coat sliced hot dogs in batter in place in hot oil for about 4 minutes until dark golden brown. Drain hot dogs on cooling rack and serve.

Chef's Notes: I used a smaller and deeper heavy pan and worked two skewers at a time. (I used a baby fryer- great!). I tried different sized pieces which all worked. The most important thing was to use a heavy duty skewer that would hold up to the heat of deep frying.

For a county fair type corn dog, make the recipe which is pretty thick and scoop the dog through the batter and smooth over the surface to coat.

For the ultimate corn dog, use a portion of the batter which has been thinned with water and pour a smooth coat over the first coat.

Use the best hotdogs you can find and you won't be able to resist.
