ichele,

Hi, as far as catalogs I do my shopping through Miss Robens. Call

1- for a catalog. They also have a web thing at

www.missroben.com but I like catalog so I call in my order and I can ask

the girls any questions I have about products. They carry GF flours with

no cross contamination, ready made snacks, cake and cookie mixes,

vitamins, pasta, some candies, Dari-free, cleaning products, condiments,

soups, books and MORE.

As far as stocking your pantry there are some supermarket items. I buy

Contadina sauce, paste and crushed tomatoes to make my own sauces. I use

only McCormick single spice spices. For potato chips I buy UTZ brand -

(plain flavor). No cross contamination with any of these products. I buy

Gerber and Beechnut bananas , fruit dessert and also the peaches to keep

on hand for quick snacks (my son is 6 1/2 years old , but these are great

for quick snacks and to use to dip nuggets in). I also get peas, garden

vegatables baby food to mix in with my ground turkey when I make tacos or

meatloaf or meatballs.

As far as cheese I only but Vegan cheese Soymage brand at the HFS. I

think its nasty but LJ wants his occasional grilled cheese so he likes it

the 2x a month he gets it.

For drinks I but Capri Sun or minute maid. Also VRUIT has a berry/veggie

blend. The VRUIT is at a HFS and also Trader Joes.

Thats about all I think of now.

Good luck with all this.

Here is a posting I did on this a while ago. and as for catalogs

www.missrobens.com is great. I also like www.kinnikinnick.com they have a

gfcf line of food premade that is very good.From: Foland

For those of you that wanted this reposted-I pulled it from the archives and

have now kept a copy for myself. Here it is again. F

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

Hello again Michele,

you wrote: ....>>>>.....get started soon.

So you're starting soon! Great.

What kinds of items have you stocked your kitchens with to start out

with basics - that I will need?

A couple of seperate things, such as seperate baking forms (is that

the word?) for bread, cookies, muffins. Not absolutely necessary, you

could also use non-stick special paper to put in the form. Do not mix

wooden spoons. In general, all things you can not put in the

dishwasher -I'm not saying you need that, but it gives you a good

indication- you should try not to mix. BUT, if you do have a

dishwasher & you regurarly clean it, in my opinion you don't even

need a lot of separate stuff.

Separation of FOOD in your cupboard might be a good idea, like having

a seperate shelf. Also goes for the fridge. 'Padlocking'? maybe.

We have said goodbye to the dairy/milk/cheese-interpretation of

getting calcium into your body. We give lots of nuts, fresh

vegetables, fish. Alternatives can be found on several websites,

maybe also on gfcf.com.

We eat more soy, but not lots. Our soy milk is calcium-fortified.

More FAT fish. Eggs.

" I'm wondering what types of gf/cf products/foods actually taste good

from those who have been doing this & have taste tested many... "

Usually we prepare our food ourselves, hope you have a talent for

cooking. All that's fresh is superb. Try to get the best stuff on the

market, preferably from an organic source.

" Do you order from special food catalogs as well for certain items &

what ones do you recommend I get catalogs for? "

Sometimes, for 'emergency' reasons, for the special bread if we've

run out of our own, for substitute pasta, gfcf cookies, but all shops

are relatively close....here.

bye

Jen, I hope Lucy's cookbook was one that your ordered because she has a great

sausage recipe in there. It's very easy. About canned tomatoes, it is said

the Muir Glen organic whole tomatoes are legal but you should really wait for

more healing to try anything someone else packages. Can't help you with that

almond company. Katy

crushed tomatoes, canned, are never legal. Some brands might be legal,

but always whole tomatoes with nothing added.

Does anyone know if Woodstock

organic canned tomatoes are legal?

We would need a physical letter from the company stating that a specific

product contained just tomatoes and no other illegal ingredients.

If you get one, send me a copy, and I will scan it and place it in our

library.

cured meats are really bad for you, and carcinogenic. I don't know about

sausages that are preserved by smoking or drying, but I would never eat a

cured meat.

It depends on how they are cured.

Homemade sausage, the way I make it, and according to Lucy's recipe, is

made with ground meat and spices -- spices which you choose and measure

-- and is delicious.

Nitrates and nitrites are, in some camps, considered bad. Some people do

not tolerate them. However, you can, if you are not dry-curing a sausage

or meat, substitute plain salt for the nitrites and nitrates if you do

not want to use them. Would you eat celery?

Curing developed as a way to preserve meat before there was

refrigeration.
