Are Gluten free products better for you than bread

They’re much better for me because I have Celiac Disease. Gluten free breads are lower carb and lower fat than other breads. They are also usually organic and made with high fiber grains and legumes. So, yes, they are better, just expensive…

Which Gluten free products actually taste good?

Q: I’m looking for some gluten free breads, cereals, crackers or just any snacks in general you may have discovered along the way that is delicious. I have tried some baked goods and they are fantastic. Didn’t notice much difference at all actually, however the bread from the same bakery was horrible. The home made loaf my mom made was actually much better than the bakery’s bread. I thought that was odd. It was her first attempt at gluten free anything and it was alright, but still not good. I would love to find something that really compares to regular bread! If anyone has any suggestions, ideas, recipes, bread machine recipes, pre packaged mixes they buy please share with me! I am very new to not eating gluten and I’m finding it very difficult to adjust.

Grocery shopping on a budget, for someone who has never had to cook. Help, please!!?

Q: Somehow I coasted through college with dining halls and free meals at events, and my first year and a half in the real world I realize I have a huge problem. I eat out too much. I eat out more than I can AFFORD. And I have to stop.This weekend I’ve committed myself to shopping at grocery stores and eating healthy and cheap. But now I need help. For those of you who cook food most of the time, what are the staples that I need to have each week in order to be successful? I’m allegic to gluten (wheat, barley, rye, flour, soy sauce, etc.) so bread products are definitely out of the question, and out of my budget. I’m hoping to manage under $50 a week in groceries. Under $25 would be fantastic but probably impossible for me.So if any of you have ideas or are good at being frugal, please share! Also, if you have tips for what kinds of meals can be prepared once and then last a while (don’t say chili, I’m good at that one already), share those too! Thanks!!!

A: I say you can most definitely do it. I am a crazy frugal shopper and do very well because I (1) plan in advance, (2) buy in bulk, and (3) look to stores other than supermarkets for certain products. You need to have in your cabinets too survive:Rice – brown, white, whatever is on-sale. Buy in large bags possibly from asian markets. Anything someone would ordinarily put over pasta can go over rice. Canned tuna – you can get it for under $1 a can and it goes great on salad or just as is with some herbsCanned tomatoes – under $0.50 a can on sale and you can get different varieities. They go in soup, stew, casseroles, and make sauce. Canned or dried beans – tons of varieties, lots of protein, a little money and they go in everyrthingOther Staples:Chicken Thighs – so much less expensive than breasts and remove the skin to keep it healthyFruits and veggies – but they can be expensive. Buy what is in season only or buy frozen. Try farmers markets. MY BEST ADVICE:Buy a small crock pot. You can cook anything is a soup, stew, casserole in a crock pot. This can be easily be frozen, reheated, and eaten for several days.
