Where Do I Get It NOW?

WALMART!  Hooray for Walmart!  They now have a gluten free section.  At the Nampa, Greenhurst Walmart  it is on the isle with the Asian, and Latino foods.  It's small, but it's something.  My Albertsons across the street also has a small Gluten Free section so if I can't find it at Walmart I go there!

They have pasta, cookies, crackers, pretzels, Oats, box mixes.  They have a few of the flours like the Brown Rice Flour and Xanthan gum.  Sometimes they have the Potato Starch but not always.  I still get my Tapioca Starch at WINCO in the bulk section.  I also get my Xanthan gum there in bulk.  I think its the cheapest.

I have some friends that go to Seattle occasionally.  They stock me up on Trader Joes Gluten Free Pasta!!  It's the best price and I love their pasta!!  So if you have a Trader Joes connection, USE IT!!

Happy Shopping!!

More GF Shopping

Guess what folks!! Incase you haven't noticed on your own, Walmart has come on board the GF bandwagon!!  They have a tiny little section of Gluten Free foods.  The best part of it is their pasta!!  It is pretty inexpensive!!  (comparitively speaking!)  You can get spaghetti, penne, elbow and lasagne that I know of.   

In MY Walmart (in Nampa) it is located in the section with the specialty foods, like the Asian food.  Seems like a strange place, but I managed to find it!  So check it out!
Let me know if anyone finds any other places that are carrying stuff!  It's great that it is getting easier to find.

I also order from Azure Standard online.  If anyone is ever interested in ordering bulk, let me know. It's best to order together because you need to have minimums and we can share shipping.  They have pretty good prices. They have all the flours, plus pasta and plenty of other things.  You can go to their website, azurestandard.com and check it out. 

Happy shopping!!

Where Do I Get It???

You are probably noticing a lot more GLUTEN FREE items at your regular grocery store!! Supply and Demand!  There are people everyday realizing the health benefits of a gluten free diet!!  We'll talk about that one on another post, but for now, I know it may seem difficult to find all of these strange flours.  But it's not so hard anymore!!  I'm writing this for friends in my own City of Nampa, and Boise, so if you are far away, well then you'll have to do your own research!

The Boise Co-op has all of the different gluten free flours you will need and pastas.  However they are far away if you live by me!
Jakes Gluten Free Store in Meridian has everything gluten free, but they are a small store so I would suggest calling first to make sure they have what you want in stock before going there, unless you live next door!
Fred Meyers carries a whole line of gluten free products back in their health food section. 
Winco (who doesn't love Winco!!)  has a few things...getting more all the time.  They have white rice flour (not the asian market kind!!) - I get some of this to use in my gravies and sauces, they have Tapioca Starch in bulk, so it is a lot less expensive.  And my favorite!!  Just this week I found out that they carry Gluten Free Elbow Macaroni noodles!!!!! Yeah!!  It is WAY cheaper than anywhere!!  They have it in bulk.  I just buy it by the box!!
Several of the Albertsons carry a few things.  The one in Eagle has a lot of gluten free items!

Asian white rice flour - very important in baking, but don't use for bread!!  The Asian market I go to is in Boise by Shopko on Fairview.  I think it is called California Market.  But if you just look up Asian markets in the phone book and find one by you they will most likely have it!!

A Friend just sent me this info on another place you can find gluten free items.  She mentioned a really good premade mix for pancakes, and also lots of pasta!!  thanks Kathy!!
