staples for the pantry
 

I'm moving on from induction(i think)
I want to have things on hand in case i want to bake or make meals , etc


I seen where people use ground almonds..soy flour
anyway..I want to make a cake and I don't know where to get these specialized products and what they are used for?

I use Almond flour to make cookies, Breading, Coating for CHicken... OMG! almost anything!!

Almond flour can be found in the health food aisle at your grocery store, or you can buy whole, unsalted almonds to grind up on your own into flour. It can be used for baked goods and also to bread meats before frying etc.
I'm not experienced with soy flour, but I have seen that in the health food aisle as well.

is there anything in diff brands of almond flour to avoid..?

You should see if you have a local co-op (or health food store) in your city. Thats the easiest place to find what you are looking for. Otherwise there are many online places you can order from but it's a little more pricey.

Trader Joe's sells almond meal pretty inexpensive. Just look for it to contain 1 ingredient: Almonds. They also have ground hazelnut meal too.

Flaxseed meal is another useful thing to have on hand.

I stopped using soy flour after getting concerned about eating too much soy and its estrogenic properties.

Another thing I like is to have flavourings: lemon, almond, maple, banana are good ones.

I've made low-carb waffles, they're great!

Oh yes, another ingredient if you'll be baking is Wheat gluten.

I think concentrated splenda liquid is very useful for keeping carb counts down. Doesn't have the carbolific filler that regular splenda does.

I tried to make a low carb sponge cake. Boy.. that experiment was a total failure!
