More in the pantry

I have also been adding some new flours and good old Bisquick but in it's gluten free version.  My sister in-law recently made a cake from Betty Crocker's gluten free mixes and it was wonderful.  No one will be able to tell the difference.  Another must is all purpose mixes.  I'm too new to GF to try one that isn't already made.  I have come to like Bob's Red Mill all purpose GF baking mix.  I use it in quick breads and muffins.  The newest mix I have tried is the King Arthur's GF muffin mix. It passes the family's test.  Unable to tell it is gluten free.

1. Variety of flours-brown rice, sorghum, potato flour and starch, tapioca flour,  almond flour
2. GF Bisquick-Betty Crocker website has a great gluten free section
3. GF flour and all purpose baking flour

Gluten free in the pantry

When I started cleaning out cabinets, I had no idea how many items had gluten in them. I was even more shocked to find out many of my pantry favorites do not have gluten in them. Stocks & broths can be hiding gluten. I call those products "hiders." Another old favorite that hides gluten: diced tomatoes with green chiles. I have yet to look at or call about Rotel ones but the Walmart brand has traced of wheat in it. My pantry mainstays:
1. Diced tomatoes (Hunt's has gluten free in the label)
2. Kitchen basics stocks
3. Tomato sauce (comes in handy for pizza sauce)
4. An all purpose GF baking mix
5. Variety of canned veggies (I make sure they are GF & low/no sodium)
6. Noodles (GF & regular; rest of my family can eat gluten so I let them)
