Grains, Noodles, Cereals
Rices, noodles, cereals: when you visit the grocery store or health food store, be sure to check out the “natural” aisle, where they will have gluten-free cookies, crackers, and lots more. This, however, is an expensive way to go! I have turned to home-made cooking and baking as a way to make this lifestyle more financially feasible.
Still some ready-made products will make your life a whole lot easier. I recommend:
Ready-made Pasta: spagetti pasta, lasagne pasta, and macaroni – or whatever shapes your family is used to.- Store bought cereal:
We love Nature’s Path Honey’d Corn Flakes. Beware: Kellogg’s Corn Flakes, and Rice Krispies both contain gluten! - Corn Tortillas: They make quick roll-ups, lunches and taco’s.
- Rice Crisps: These can be found for a reasonable price in Asian markets, or the Asian aisle in your grocery store. Quaker Rice Chips are also gluten free (most of
them – as always check the label) and are in most grocery stores. In the asian aisle, these rice crisps are under $2 per box, 2 aisles over with the salty snacks, they are $4 each!! So far, the no-name brands all contain a risk of cross-contamination.
