The Great Kazoo's Feedback
"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
I really like Bob's Red Mill Steel cut oats. While i don't know if they are gluten free, they are really delicious, and a way to break up the monotony of a daily bowl of oatmeal.
Although I thoroughly enjoy all the stuff that the gluten-intolerant people can't eat, I could fairly happily get by without those items. In terms of putting food away for a rainy day, pinto beans can be seasoned to be pretty tasty.
My mother has Celiac and she has been focusing on buying simple single ingredient dried fruits, veggies and meats. My Dad is not Celiac but he has changed his diet to match my Mom's to make it easier on her. They have had to do some experimenting with the storage food to come up with good menu options but now have many different menus based on using different combinations of those single ingredient dried foods. Her and my Dad also store lots of rice and beans to supplement the dried storage foods. However they don't bake much anymore after not being happy with most of the gulten free flour substitutes.
Augason Farms has many certified Gluten free bulk options as does Thrive and Honeyville Grain. Costco has started carrying some options from these brands online with free shipping. Besides the dried milk, Thrive seems to be cheaper direct from Thrive but the Augason Farms foods tend to be cheaper from Costco.
And Natural Grocers/Vitamin Cottage can special order bulk certified Gluten free grains and beans for you if you ask. They sometimes have 25-50lb sacks in the back too if you get lucky and their prices aren't terrible.
