I will check out my Health food store, but it is good to know they will do mail order.<br /> Have you had good luck with the recipes with this brand? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/almond-flour-in-canada#post-1188 Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:48:04 +0000 Webster 1188@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi, I just noticed your question. I live in Calgary and I can get almond flour in any health food store here. The brand I like is JK Gourment, <a href="http://www.jkgourmet.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.jkgourmet.com</a>. They will also do mail order if you are in a remote location. Hope this helps! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/almond-flour-in-canada#post-1187 Tue, 23 Feb 2010 20:27:30 +0000 TiaDawn 1187@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I had the same question, as I'm from Canada. Have you tried your local health food store? </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/buying-arrowroot#post-1153 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 11:21:30 +0000 janeen 1153@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Thanks!

I use it every week to make GF challah bread, for example. I am wondering -- what is the best source for buying arrowroot? I would like to buy it in bulk to save $$$. Alternatively, I am open to considering other starches, but definitely not corn. Suggestions???</p> <p>Thanks!<br /> Janeen </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/almond-flour-in-canada#post-1069 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 15:48:19 +0000 erinselena 1069@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi,<br /> Can anyone recommend a good almond flour in Canada to use? I'd like to refrain from purchasing online only because I hate to wait for things. I'd like to be able to go out an purchase it at a store for last minute baking.<br /> Thanks, </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/pantry-stock#post-825 Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:58:15 +0000 elana 825@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi Momto4Boys-</p> <p>Welcom :-)</p> <p>If you go to my ingredients page:</p> <p><a href="http://www.elanaspantry.com/ingredients/" rel="nofollow">http://www.elanaspantry.com/ingredients/</a></p> <p>you will find a list of all the various ingredients that I use in my recipes along with descriptions of them and links to where you can purchase all of the items.</p> <p>Good luck!<br /> Elana </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/pantry-stock#post-816 Sun, 03 Jan 2010 10:12:11 +0000 Hallgenie 816@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Iam also new to Cf since June 2009. i weighed 208 lbs in Sept i had lost 20 lbs and in Nov I had lost another 10 lbs. My Dr. said many people do lose weight when going CF.</p> <p>Iwould suggest that you join two groups at yahoo. They are GFCF and GFCFrecipes.<br /> they have helped me alot.</p> <p>I now use SILK Soy milk. I use EARTH BALANCE in the sticks for margarine. Idont use cheese, and even though i loved cheese i dont miss it. Itried soy cheese, and spit it out in the sink. LOL</p> <p>The first bread i tried from Whole Foods was Ezekiel bread its really good toasted. If<br /> you buy it be sure to keep it in the fridg or it will sprout.</p> <p>If you have a HY-VEE store close to you they carry alot GFCF products.</p> <p>Hope this helps </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/pantry-stock#post-803 Fri, 01 Jan 2010 20:49:40 +0000 honeygirl 803@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>Hi Gracee,<br /> It sounds like you're well on your way to figuring out gfcf living. I've been gf for about 10 months now, and it was certainly overwhelming to start with.<br /> Elana's recipes are great because they use such a small selection of ingredients so you don't need to stock your pantry with ingredients you won't be using on a regular basis.<br /> I don't know very much about the cf diet, so some of my staples may not be appropriate...but here are the things I try to keep stocked in my pantry:<br /> Arrowroot powder, xanthan gum, tapioca starch, potato starch, applesauce, quinoa flakes (which sometimes work as a substitute for oats), sorghum flour, buckwheat flour and teff flour.<br /> I definitely kept my pantry simple when I was starting out, but have been trying new ingredients and experimenting more lately. I do try to plan ahead a bit so that I use up the ingredients I have before buying another type of flour, that way I can use things up before they go off and I don't have heaps of half-finished jars of flour sitting around.</p> <p>Hope this helps. Best of luck! </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/pantry-stock#post-791 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 19:49:21 +0000 Momto4boys 791@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I am SUPER new to this GFCF thing and I need some help. I went to Whole Foods today and purchased some very basic stuff that I saw in the cookbook. I ordered the Coconut Flour and Almond Flour from the places recommended in the back of the book. Can anyone help with what else to have? I have Grapeseed Oil and Agave. </p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Gracee </p>
