What’s in my kitchen?
What’s in my kitchen? Look no further my kitchen staples are here! The prices and brand names might vary week to week because of availability but that’s ok. I hope this list helps others prepare dishes for family and friends with food allergies. The stress of trying to stay social without the awkwardness to be accommodated at parties is real. Now you can have your gluten free cake and eat it too!
I have heavily relied on these retailers for my food allergy restrictions: Siete, Daily Harvest, Thrive Market, Pomegranate Market, CS Natural Health Center, Home Grown Wellness, Sobey’s and Zehr’s. These kitchen essentials can accommodate individuals who are looking for these options: Paleo, Gluten- Free, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole 30, Keto etc.
Disclaimer- This list is balance, my everyday pantry items are much cleaner then my occasional dessert fix. So don’t take everything serious here, read your labels and find balance in your kitchen.

Vermicelli Noodles Mung Bean-This a quick way to swap out pasta, you just have to decide which sauce you want to add!

Rice Paper-I purchased Blue Dragon Spring Roll Wrappers in the USA and in Canada the brand I found was Rose Circle Rice Paper.
Kettle & Fire Butternut Squash Soup- Best way to use bone broth is in soup! This was amazing and very beneficial for my health.

Peanut Butter-This peanut butter has oil at the top but if flip it up side down and stick in the fridge then the oil will adjust.
Almond Butter-Justin’s Classic or Wild Friends (Palm Oil Free)- Almond Butter is a great swap for peanut butter. In terms of nutrition they are very similar so choose which one is best for you.
