Re: stocking the pantry for new gfcf moms

[Guest guest]

--I didn't know that Sam's chips are ok!!! I have been ordering them

from Mrs.Robens and they are pretty expensive so I will check that

out!! I also didn't know Pan is ok-I use Jif and know that is.

I agree its tough on a budget but I'm still in the

learning/experimenting stage. My husband is a grocery mgr so he's

getting more stuff ordered in for me and that helps. Is wheat flour

that has had the gluetin removed ok? We have a local plant that sells

this in bulk alot cheaper. Thanks!

sweet chocolate chips,peter pan peanut butter, authentic foods

flours,cause your special baking powder,arm and hammer baking

soda,red star or Saf yeast,and fleishmans unsalted for gfcf

margerine. I have to do this on a budget so I have not eliminated

hydrgenated fats or gone all organic but if you can afford to do so

it is by far healthier-and in that case brands will differ from mine.

Spectrum makes a good nonhydrogenated shortening and frontier brand

extracts are alcohol free and organic. There are many more gfcf

flours but the ones listed above are most frequently called for in

recipes and you could make a wide varity of foods with them. Once you

have the diet down and the pantry stocked feel free to experiment

with a varity of flours to enhance flavor and change things up a bit.

I will be putting together my shopping list for how to do this for

less money and will post it when I get it together. Just keep in mind

we are not restricted on anything except gfcf so I have not had to

limit sugar , phenols or corn. F
