Favorite Products List! (Frequently Updated)

I'm going to start a list and add to it with time, I remember the hardest thing about food allergy shopping is spending lots of money on mediocre food.

I am a "scratch" baker and prefer to always make my own but the gluten free really has limited my ability.  I'm starting with favorite products and hope to branch out as I become more confident with gluten free ingredients.  For now it is keeping my baking alive to be able to use some of these premade flours/mixes to experiment with and having the frozen food for convenience is so helpful.

These products are all Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Peanut-Free, Tree Nut-Free (except coconut).  Most are also Egg-Free, however we tolerate baked egg fine so there are eggs in some of the baked goods.

King Arthur Gluten Free All Purpose Flour:  This is amazing flour with a great texture.  I have now baked sugar cookies, cakes, pie crusts with direct substitution into regular recipes.  I am still adding xantham gum.

So Delicious Coconut Milk Products:  We have switched nearly 100% to coconut based "milk" products.  The texture is amazing without the graininess of soy products and the ice "cream" is creamy!

Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Spread: best in my opinion for baking and topping everything.  Nice flavor, melts well, works well in recipes.

Ancient Harvest Pasta: great texture, al dente!  Doesn't get slimy and has a nice neutral pasta flavor.

Sunbutter-a life saver!  I don't even MISS peanut butter.  Sunbutter tastes so nice and the texture is perfect for recipes.

Enjoy Life: love the chocolate chips-I use them for baking, trail mix, snacking.

Van's Foods: Frozen waffles!

French Meadow: mini frozen cakes, muffins, tortillas-and my local Safeway is now carrying them!

Ian's: Corn Dogs!  Chicken Nuggets!  Fish Sticks!  Alphabet fries!!  Classic kid food available allergy free.

Udi's : Gluten Free Bread/pastries that tastes good.  I'm particularly fond of the cinnamon raisin bread toasted.

Dr. Lucy's Cookies: nice crunchy crispy cookies.

Gluten Free Bisquik: lovely for quick baking, pie crust, muffins, pancakes.  Light, neutral flavor (doesn't taste like beans like some flour mixes!)

Betty Crocker Gluten Free Mixes: Yellow cake, chocolate cake, BROWNIES!  The chocolate cake and brownies are particular favorites.  They have a nice texture and hold up to decorating.  These do call for eggs-and I haven't tried them egg-free.
