The Good Stuff

Sorry for the semi-tease last week, but I'm Finally going to reveal our favorites! Keep in mind we don't buy a lot of these things on a regular basis (mostly in the beginning just to get the kids buy in). The starred (*) items are a regular in our house!!! So, read on, share and be blessed!

I'm going to break things down into categories and even though this blog is mostly about being GF, I'll share our fav DF stuff too.

Store Bought Bread/Pastry/Muffins:

Flour Blends/Mixes:

Note: I have tried Bob's Red Mill, Namaste, Glutino, Pamela's, Gluten Free Creations Bakery and serveral other brands "all purpose, cup for cup" flour blends and liked most of them. The following are ones that I use on a regular basis and mostly for specific recipes. I also by my own brown rice flour in bulk and other flours (ex. tapioca, potatoe, arrowroot, garfava) and make my own blends for some "scratch" recipes.

I'm probably forgetting a few things and am always finding new things, so I will post favs again in the future. Just remember that any productyou buy, you MUST read the ingredients label!!! Next week we'll talk about the staple items in your kitchen that may have gluten in them and what to replace them with. We will also share the different names of ingredients that are Gluten so when you're reading the labels, you know what to look for! Until then, be blessed!
