Wild Serendipity Foods
Wild Serendipity Foods has a new product – buttermilk pancake mix. Michelle also sells a scone mix, Saskatchewan sea salts and flavoured mustards and chutney.

Prairie Harvest Café
Prairie Harvest Café is again selling ready-made meals from their restaurant. The weekly offerings will be posted on Facebook. I'm eagerly hoping for some of Mike's wonderful vegetarian options.

Saskatoon Farmers’ Market
The Saskatoon Farmers’ Market now has free wifi.

Recycle your Coffee
If you’ve ever wondered what to do with leftover coffee grounds, here’s your answer. Coffee grounds work well for fertilizing plants, keeping fleas off your dog, cleaning drains and so much more.

Flavourful Saskatoon is a weekly Monday feature. I also post regular profiles of culinary entrepreneurs, new restaurants and new food products.
