In my opinion; the best All-Purpose flour recipie (from Cooking for Isaiah) is:
6 cups white rice flour (Bob's Red Mill)
3 cups tapioca flour (Shiloh Farms)
11/2 cups potato starch (Bob's Red Mill)
1 tblsp. sea salt
2 tblsp. xanthum gum (Bob's Red Mill)
Its important to go organic & unprocessed on meat, fruits, veggies, and dairy. However, some of these items are ok if conventional (save some money!)
Organic: Celery Apples Blueberries
Peaches Grapes Nectarines
Strawberries Bell Peppers Spinach
Cherries Potatoes
Conventional (non-organic): Onions Avocado Banannas
Sweet Corn Pineapple Sweet Potato
Mango Sweet Pea Asparagus
Kiwi Cabbage Eggplant
Cantaloupe Watermelon Grapefruit
We shop at EarthFare but can find some items at Bi-Low & Publix. You have to watch the prices because its not neccesarily cheaper at the regular grocery. Here is a list of some basic items we keep at home that are yummy:
Vann's Wheat & Gluten Free Waffles (Bi-Low)
Village Grown Organic Microwavable Steam Bags of Veggies (Bi-Low)
Organic Tortilla Chips & Salsa (EarthFare)
Udi's Gluten Free Pizza Crusts (EarthFare)
Organic Pasta Sauce (for pizza) & Daiya Shredded Mozz. (EarthFare)
Earth Balance Butter Spread tub & sticks (EarthFare)
Organic Eggs & Organic Apple Juice (EarthFare)
EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal (EarthFare/Bi-low/Publix)
Rice Pasta (EarthFare) Glutino Crackers (EarthFare)
Rudi's Gluten-Free Bakery Bread (EarthFare - pop in toaster on lowest setting before serving; comes frozen)
Full Circle Organic Soy Milk (anywhere) Rice Dream Rice Milk (anywhere)
Organic Ketchup (EarthFare)
Some things I use alot are conventional:
Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
Rice Chex Cereal
Marshmallow Creme
Olive Oil or Safflower Oil (can use regular veggie oil)
Its also important to start saving jars & have good storage items. Fresh foods go bad quickly. You can freeze things to make them last longer & give you something easy to warm up during the week
AVOID: Anything with Root Flour
Bob's Red Mill: Brownie Mix & Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
Mac and Cheese (dont even try it)
Ok....gotta go for now. Will enter more tomorrow! Good Luck!
