Ingredients
- Sugar Replacements: Maple syrup raw honey, brown rice syrup, coconut sugar. No agave, artificial sweeteners or no calorie all-natural sweeteners. Kirkland Organic Maple Syrup and Lundberg Farms.
- Oil Replacements: Coconut oil refined for high temp cooking, unrefined for general use, ghee (clarified butter), olive oil, sesame oil. Spectrum brand is great but there's countless other great choices too.
- Flour Replacements: Whole wheat rice flour, almond and/or hazelnut flour, arrowroot starch for thickening. Bob's Red Mill for most of my flour choices.
- Eggs: Pasture raised or free-range organic preferred.
- Dairy: Organic non UHT pasteurization. Strauss & Clover Organics, but whichever is local/regional in your area.
- Red Meat: Preferably grass fed and grass finished if possible. Organic.
- Poultry: Free range air chilled if possible. Mary's, Rosie's, Diestel Farms, Empire Kosher, and Applegate Farms are all good, but whichever is local to you at your store or farmer's market.
- Pork: Applegate and Niman's Ranch or whichever is local to you at your store or farmer's market.
- Grains: whole grains trying to avoid "enriched" products. Organic if possible especially with wheat since it is one of the heaviest sprayed crops.
- Bread: Dave's Killer Bread Alpine Valley, Silver Hills Bakery and Essential Baking Company for gluten free option, these are all great faves in our home.
