HI We’ve been on an extremely restricted diet since Mike was little due to allergy/metabolic issues.
Some good strategies:find a Trader Joe’s and haunt them for almond flour-the best all around cookie/cake flour if you ask me. Also, sorghum flour is relatively cheap, flexible, and not “grainy” like rice flours. For baking mix you can mix 6 cups of sorghum flour and a cup or 2 of sweet rice flour. together. Use soda or baking powder as for “regular” cookies/cake. You’d be amazed at the texture of the baked goods. Bob’s Redmill baking mix is a good choice if you can use corn (we can’t.
) Tinkyada brown rice pasta rocks, and comes in all kinds of shapes. I even throw together my pasta sauce, cook it, then add the pasta and extra water for the only starch in it-and it’s delicous.

Noodles from a local asian market are great in soups-and usually only 1.00 per pound-cheap for substitute pasta. My kids always had a plate full of cookies for friends, and they all disappeared. For breading for chicken nuggets, throw some Gerber baby rice cereal in a zip lock freezer bag and add your favorite spices. Crack an egg or 2 in another freezer bag, then throw your chicken peces a few at a time first into the egg, then the cereal bag. For chicken french, add the juice of one lemon to the egg bag and squeeze the juice of one lemon over the top of the hot chicken pieces as they emerge from the oven or skillet. All of this takes time, but it can be done-and without starving everyone.
