When compiling the ingredients for your gluten-free kitchen, you want to make sure you don’t accidentally introduce an item with gluten. If you do, you have the chance of contaminating your entire pantry. Here’s a quick list of basic ingredients you might want to keep in your pantry:
All the gluten-free flours
Xanthan gum
Guar gum
A premixed batch of my baking mix
Quinoa (a personal favorite — great to toss into soups and other foods)
Rice (brown rice is best)
Gluten-free bread crumbs (which can be ordered online)
Gluten-free crackers (which you can crumble and use as coatings on foods, fillers in meatloaf, and in soups and salads)
Gluten-free snacks (important to have on-hand for kids)
