Exclusive Timbits Poutine & Pretzel Donut Sandwich at the CNE.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to visit the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) which runs from August 21st until Sept 7th. It's an annual event that takes place at Exhibition Place, in Toronto. This event conjures up mixed feelings for me and I can guess for most people as well. It signifies that the end of summer is near. It's a tradition that my extended family and I have built over the years. We've bonded over the the many food concoctions offer every year and it's just a great way to have fun for both adults and the kids! The CNE consist of rides, food and entertainment for all ages. There are enough activities to last you the day, at the CNE.

Maple Cinnamon French Toast Timbits Poutine

One of my favourite things to do is to visit the Food Building. The Food Building is one of the popular attractions at the CNE every year and listed on my itinerary...as usual the first stop! The CNE  has been know for their crazy food or shall I say "food combinations." They have had deep fried butter balls, crispy chocolate chicken and much more extreme food selections.

Large crowds at the Canadian Nationa Exhibition- Inside the Food Building.

Thanks to the folks at @MyTimHortons I was able to experience the exclusive options only available inside the Food Building at Tim Hortons. This year @MyTimHortons has introduced the Timbits Poutine & Honey Dijon Ham Pretzel Sandwich. The Tim Hortons at CNE  has also introduced the exclusive items below.

Chocolate Salted Caramel Timbits Poutine

Cookies & Creme Timbits Poutine

Honey Dijon Ham Pretzel Donut Sandwich


The particular flavouring that had my tastebuds dancing was the Pretzel Donut from @MyTimhortons. If you're someone that likes salty and sweet at the same time, this menu item is for you. The Honey Dijon Ham pretzel donut sandwich consists of ham, pepper jack cheese & red onions with Dijon mustard. It's actually made with a real donut and not a bagel. It's a sweet & savoury softness with a pretzel texture. The Timbits poutine and Pretzel Donut sandwich is only available inside the Food Building for a limited time.

Find your drive & love it with Schick.

What drives you...literally? Driving is a big responsibility yet it opens up a multitude of opportunities. What do I mean? I am a person that lives in the city and craves the amenities of the local shops & different neighbourhoods. My modes of transportation include walking or taking the local transit system to get to various points of interest within the city. It continues to be a fun and enjoyable commute for a city dweller.

On the other-hand, driving a car is a game changer, let me explain. There are so many benefits to driving. The main benefit is being able to visit different places beyond your local area of your choosing. Living downtown you get a little accustomed to seeing the same things over and over. It becomes repetitive...sometimes too routine. Being able to drive and explore different places becomes exhilarating and liberating. You get to venture out and discover unknown territory... in places you never knew existed. It frees you to explore different cultures and ways of living. You begin to realize where Toronto derives being called a multicultural city. It's like having the whole world within a city.

Explore and be curious. 

Dabbling outside of your comfort zone now and then is also amazing for the soul. It opens your mind to endless opportunities. I encourage you to drive somewhere that you have never been before and experience the thrill of where life takes you. It could be another city, a few hours drive away, or just being able to bask in one of nature's beautiful scenic routes... apart from your usual local sights and sceneries. Be creative. Be spontaneous. Don't own a car or vehicle? No problem. Today there are many options to getting around such as a car sharing companies, services, and car-pooling to name a few. Do not limit yourself. Try a new adventure... go out...explore!! Find your "drive"... you'll love it!!

Summer Nights at Mohawk Racetrack.

My first visit to Mohawk Racetrack was to participate in the Pepsi North American Cup event. I did not know what to expect on my first visit to Mohawk. I was in awe of all the sights and sounds that I never even had the chance to place a bet on any of the races taking place that day. Prior to my 2nd visit to Mohawk, I began to do some online research and visited the Mohawk website to learn more about the horse racing. I used the website & friends to get some simple tips on how to place a bet. I simply began placing bets based on how a name appealed to me. It's not what an experienced person would do but I was hoping beginners luck would kick in and it was simple! I placed the minimum "basic" bet of $2 for a horse just to "WIN" the race. That means the horse has to finish first. I progressed to another $2 bet for a horse to "PLACE" which means the horse must finish first or second.

How to call your bet at the teller.

On the night that I visited Mohawk there were 12 races taking place that day. I made basic bets throughout the first few races by going to the teller/kiosk and placing my bets. My friend Graham who knew much more than me on betting horses recommended I place more "fancier" bets. I'm sure you've heard Exactor and Triactor and Pick 4 terms before-I was still learning all these types of bets. I decided to "fancy up" with an Exactor Box Bet.

Exactor is a bet in which the two horses I pick finish in exact order of 1st and 2nd place. Boxing this bet allows me not to worry about the order the horses place. The 2 horses don't have to WIN in exact order so long as they still place first or second. This gives more flexibility to your bet. I personally think this is the best way to start and progress. Once you get the hang of it you can expand your betting style to include Triactor and Pick 4. These are some of the bets I will learn to do on my next visit to Mohawk for Metro Pace on Sunday September 5th.

Self-Serve Wagering Kiosk at Mohawk Racetrack

Mohawk had given me an HPI Card which you can reload with any amount/value you like. This card system allows you to place bets via a Self -Serve Wagering touchscreen kiosk located throughout Mohawk Racetrack. It also allows you to place bets at other tracks around the world. I am told you can also place bets from your smartphone if you install the mobile App. The kiosk is quick and lines are usually shorter than the regular teller. On first try it takes a little getting use to but very simple once you place a couple of bets.

22" inch televisions at each table in the Terrace Dining Room at Mohawk Racetrack.

One of the nice features of Mohawk Racetrack is the Terrace Dining Room. This area overlooks the track and you can enjoy dining and betting with 22" tv monitors at each table. On Fridays they have All You Can Eat Italian Buffet. Yummy!

Saturday Buffet spread at the Terrace Dining Room.

The Mohawk Racetrack is open 5 days a week. Parking and admission are always free. Mohawk also has a daily food and drink offer.

Monday- Half Price Wings & Pint offer.

Tuesday- Burger and Brew offer.

Thursday- Steak and Stella beer.

Friday- All You Can Eat Italian Buffet where Kids Eat Free.

Saturday- Live music on the Corona Patio Deck.


If you're looking to do something new and different with a bunch of friends, I highly recommend visiting Mohawk Racetrack for a fun day of excitement!
