Subject: stocking the pantry for new gfcf moms

Ok- we are free of gluten and casein only. If you have further considerations

then you may need to modify my list.

Things needed for gfcf baking

Flours

potato starch{at least five pounds to start}

Tapioca starch-you wont need more than two or three pounds to last a while

Corn starch-couple boxes

rice flour-white is most commonly called for a small quantity of brown shoud be

on hand too

potato flour-buy very small amount its hardly ever needed

Soy flour-again small quantity

xanthan gum[a little goes a long way}

Dari free milk sub{I like this best for baking it has a nice flavor in baked

goods}

Unflavored gelatin-or agar flakes if you dont like gelatin for your child

ener-g egg replacer[even if you can have eggs this is called for in many

recipes]

gfcf baking powder

gfcf baking soda

yeast

shortening

gfcf margerine

sugar

brown sugar

powdered sugar

honey

Male sure you have a wide variety of spices on hand[mcCormick brand spices are

safe]

gfcf peanut butter

nuts

gfcf chocolate chips

a variety of extracts-again I use mCcormicks

For brands that I use-I use crisco for shortening,sams choice semi 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
