Fresh herbs are best, when available. Herbs and spices that are highly recommended for the pantry include: salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, dill, dry mustard, paprika, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, mint, cream of tartar, and dried parsley. For flavorings, vanilla and almond flavoring are a must.

Liqueurs, when kept in a cool, dark place, last almost indefinitely and their concentrated flavors add a lot of flavor to ice cream toppings, brownies, cream pie fillings, and more. Wine adds richness to marinades, salad dressings, sauces, and is perfect to use when de-glazing a pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together first 6 ingredients. Add remaining ingredients; toss, cover with plastic wrap, then refrigerate for several hours before serving. Serves 6. Posted September 13, This is a nice list if you don't have other food allergies.

I would add labeling as much as possible. Sweet Rice flour and rice flour look and smell alike, but have different properties when cooking yes label as much as possible it prevents mistakes. Non-dairy items as necessary for some folks too. Could you include ideas for freezer items as well? Long winters here merit stocking one's freezer.

I usually use Diamond Crystal brand. Vanilla — I mainly use Rodelle Vanilla Extract but I also make my own. You can see how to make your own vanilla extract here. The original mix is great and produces super light and fluffy pancakes. We make them every week! Sugar and natural sweeteners are naturally gluten free but I wanted to include them because they play a major role in my gluten free baking.

I use regular granulated sugar, light brown sugar, powdered sugar, and organic cane sugar in many of my recipes. I use cheap store brand granulated sugar and brown sugar including Walmart, Aldi, and Target brands as well as name brands like Domino.

These are a few of my go-to natural sweeteners:. Honey — I prefer filtered raw honey, which I can find at my local grocery stores and even Walmart. I like using honey to sweeten my overnight oats and smoothies. I would recommend getting local honey — if you can get honey close to where you live the better.

Coconut Palm Sugar — I use coconut palm sugar in a couple of my recipes. Better Body, Wholesome, Madhava, and Nutiva are good brands but there are more brands available as coconut sugar is becoming more popular. I use coconut palm sugar as the main sweetener in my Paleo Hot Fudge Sauce and even in my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread.

I usually find my 32 oz. Maple Sugar — made from pure maple syrup, this is a great granulated natural sweetener. Clean Eating with a Dirty Mind , one of my favorite cookbooks, also calls for it in several recipes which is why I always have it on hand.

Some of my recipes call for regular dairy products but many of my recipes call for dairy-free alternatives. I use dairy free alternatives for my lactose intolerant daughter most of the time but I will use regular dairy when it really is the best option for the recipe.

Coconut Milk, canned — I usually use canned coconut milk that contains guar gum. Based on taste and texture, I prefer the canned coconut milk that contains gums which is purely my opinion and you may disagree. Brands I use most often are Native Forest and Field Day. However, I am not above using Goya, A Taste of Thai, or Thai Kitchen.

Sometimes those are the only brands I can get at my local stores if I run out and need it in a pinch. Coconut Cream, canned — I call for an entire can of coconut cream in my vegan avocado ice cream.

For cans, I buy Natural Value Coconut Cream. Native Forest makes 5. I often use coconut cream in place of heavy cream in place of heavy cream in savory recipes think cream sauces. I also always keep a large can of coconut cream in the back of my fridge so I can make coconut whipped cream any time I need it.

I replace it as I use it so I always have a chilled can. Cream of coconut is sweetened and used for cocktails like pina coladas. I also use cream of coconut in my coconut cheesecake as a sweetener. I often use culinary coconut milk when making chocolate ganache in place of heavy cream like in the frozen mint chip pie , pictured above.

Coconut Milk Beverage — I use So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk Beverage for all of my recipes that call for unsweetened coconut milk as an ingredient.

You can find it shelf stable but needs to be refrigerated after opening or you can find it in the refrigerated section at the grocery store. It works in place of regular milk in recipes and only has a very slight coconut taste when drinking.

When baked, it does not give a coconut flavor to your baked goods which is why I prefer it over nut milks. If you need to replace buttermilk, I use the coconut milk PLUS 1 tablespoon of white vinegar for every cup of buttermilk the recipe calls for.

Sweetened Condensed Coconut Milk — I was so happy to find this product. I use it in my dairy free coffee creamer and my vegan avocado ice cream.

I plan on making some dairy free fudge recipes with it soon! Coconut Milk Powder — I keep this on hand to make dairy free cocoa mix for my daughter. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is also another staple that I use in my marinades, for roasting veggies, and for sautéing. Nutiva Shortening — I use Nutiva as a butter replacement in many of my baked goods.

I like the taste and texture better than Crisco. However, it is lactose free, Paleo, and Whole30 compliant. I use it in my Paleo Hot Fudge and I cook with it often. I usually use Organic Valley brand because I can get it at my grocery store.

You can also easily make your own. I use Chosen Foods brand. Typically, I buy whatever I can get at the best price depending on sales; which is usually from Thrive Market. PS — The only coconut oil I use is Virgin Coconut Oil.

As far as rice goes, we usually buy Basmati or Jasmine. Their elbows, spaghetti, and penne are regulars on our dinner table. I use the elbows and penne in one skillet dishes all the time where you cook the pasta in the pan with everything else.

They also have fettucini, which is relatively new to their line. I also love to grab a box of pre-made cookies these are my-all time favorite for a road trip.

Maybe even some pretzels. These items are great for treats, but buying them regularly will make for an expensive gluten-free diet. How to save money on meat. Saving money on fresh produce.

I try to buy GF baking flour that has xanthan gum added, as it acts like a gluten substitute and helps to bind and thicken gluten-free ingredients. I always keep gluten-free Kodiak Cake mix on hand.

It makes really good pancakes, has a simple and wholesome ingredient list, and is a great base for making different flavors of pancakes or waffles.

I especially loved the peanut butter Kodiak Cakes back in the days before I went gluten-free. So now, I make my own gluten-free peanut butter chip pancakes : just mix Kodiak Cake mix with powdered peanut butter PBFit , a little bit of mashed banana, water, and sometimes a few peanut butter chips 😋 or chocolate chips for the BEST peanut butter banana pancakes.

I also add collagen peptides sometimes, too! Such a good gluten-free pancake breakfast with some protein, too. Some recipes are specifically written with no flour at all, like healthy peanut butter double chocolate muffins or flourless chocolate cake.

There are so many different types of gluten-free pasta! You can find gluten-free pasta made from lentils, rice, beans, quinoa, corn, or a mix. You can also use spaghetti squash for noodles, which I do all of the time. Some of my favorites are:. brand lentil pasta, Barilla, or Banza chickpea pasta.

Also, as a heads up, you can buy Banza at Costco! I get these organic brown rice noodles at Costco to use in noodle stir-fry with chicken and veggies, but you can find similar ones at lots of grocery stores.

Traditional orzo is just a small pasta not rice so it has gluten, but fortunately, lots of orzo substitutes exist!

Finally, for traditional pasta alternatives, I love spaghetti squash and have one or two in my kitchen most of the time. Spaghetti squash recipes: Best-of-both-worlds pasta bowls , Mexican spaghetti squash , and Spaghetti squash lasagna bake.

I love making rice bowls with roasted veggies, chicken, and a good sauce or hummus on top. I always buy quinoa at Costco.

Quinoa Recipes: Caprese quinoa casserole and 5-Ingredient Mexican quinoa. I love how inexpensive corn tortillas are! I use corn tortillas for recipes like this minute enchilada skillet.

I usually stock up whenever they go on sale! Simple Mills Almond Flour Crackers sold at Costco, too! I also like most varieties of rice thin-type crackers to dip in hummus.

You can find Quinn Pretzels on Amazon, at Walmart, at Whole Foods, on Thrive Market, and on Vitacost. So, those are my gluten-free staples! Keep a jar or reused protein powder container of each item in your kitchen, and store the rest of each item in your pantry or a sealed storage bin in your garage.

Keep your ingredients minimal. Simplifying which ingredients you have in your home will relieve the feelings of overwhelm.

Kick out processed and pre-packaged foods to reduce your overall cost. Learn to make things from scratch. Pre-packaged gluten-free cookies, chips, bagels, bread, etc, cost at least double what regular versions cost.
