ready to take the grain plunge

[Guest guest]

My toddler is starting to eat more and more grain products out in the world, and

her mood changes after she eats these foods are profound and noticeable - she

becomes negative, cranky and cries a lot. I've had a grain mill for awhile, and

I've never used it because my goal is to cut carbs and not make them. However,

I now want to make cookies, muffins, and other goodies for my daughter so she

doesn't feel deprived when we're out in the world and she wants a treat like the

people she's with.

So, my questions are:

1. sources - where do the bakers on this list get their grains, and in what

form should I order oats, wheat, rye and spelt. (Am I leaving any basics out?)

2. recipes - which NT (or non-NT, if you have them) recipes produce the

yummiest goodies.

3. Any tips? I haven't wanted to get started down this road because of all the

past e-mails I've read about problems with starters, etc. For now, I'll stay

away from sourdough, but hopefully I'll be able to make that soon too.

Thanks
