In Search Of gluten-free Staples

[River Faerie]

Hi Friends,

After reading another forum, I went to a site that I had not previously found. It was Karina's Recipes. Oh my gosh, it was like finding an oasis in the middle of a desert! I am new, and in week four. If you are new like me, I highly suggest taking a look. There is hope!

I have been doing well in my eating and am committed to this new lifestyle, even though it is tough. I am CRAVING something soft, warm, and comforting. I found a bunch of recipes I would like to try, but I don't know where to find these new gluten-free staples for my pantry. Where do I get things like sweet sorghum flour, xanthan gum, arrowroot starch, etc.? I live in a small town at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains. I am about an hour from the nearest Trader Joe's and Lassens. Does anyone know a good place to find these supplies on line? Thanks!

I can't help with online sources but if you do get out and find an asian market, they sell white rice flour, tapioca, potato starch and sweet rice flour for only cents per bag.

Be sure to order/buy the gluten free items, they sometimes sell both in the stores and look almost the same.

I am making the Pueblo Bread and the Breakfast Brownies today and they are both dairyfree/egg free/soy free/gluten-free.

I have the same problem, our small health food store is about 75 miles away...so I buy several bags at a time of each flour. Being new since May, I just started my 2nd bag of xanthan gum but I will slow down on baking now and start cooking more crock pot meals. Fall is in the air, 2 nights ago it was 38 degrees where I live.
