Dry Goods


 All-purpose flour (Unbleached and NOT enriched)
Whole wheat flour (NOT enriched)
Whole Wheat Pastry Flour (NOT enriched)
YOU DO NOT NEED Cake flour you can skip the cornstarch and SIFT your finer flour like grandma used to!
Cornmeal {{ when in desperate corn need I use Bob's Red Mill corn flours, It has treated me well IN MODERATION and I cut it like in the Killer Corn Muffins with other flours}} (I think by now most folks know the deal with corn is that it is heavily modified, it resembles corn as we knew it, it is nearly impossible to even grow any that has not been modified- the best you can do is either grow it or not have it)
VEGAN sugar (this is not because animals are cute or are our friends, and they are, it is because refined sugars often use bones to bleach and process the sugar. Natural MSG. It does other things too.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_char )
This Confectioner's sugar (NO! This form of sugar is derived from granulated sugar made from sugar beets -which are very high in naturally occurring glutamate- or sugar cane. It can have an additional ingredient -this was in the definition I do not know to what additional ingredient they are speaking, cornstarch, which helps to keep the sugar from clumping - yeah right, because we have never used cornstarch pour out some in half powder and half in clumps? Oh, or was that just me?. Essentially, granulated sugar is ground into a finer sugar to make the powdered form. It often does not have ingredients, or has INCOMPLETE ingredients)
Brown sugar (this is a tough one. I use it sparingly when used... never more than a half cup because the origins get muddy as with refined/granulated sugar which is its first ingredient)
Baking soda
Baking powder (Cornstarch with Baking soda, stick with the baking soda it will get you there without the problems!)
Yeast (Freeze for longer shelf life)
Cornstarch (NO NO NO! Nasty)
Unsweetened cocoa
Unsweetened chocolate
Semi or bitter sweet chocolate
Oatmeal
Cereal - GRANOLA!
Pasta, white and/or whole grain (Never enriched!)
Rice
Brown rice
Wild rice
Arborio rice
Barley
Couscous (never enriched)
Quinoa (high in protein so when it is cooked, it contains the natural break down of protein but not nearly as bad as the stuff ADDED to foods.)
Kidney beans
Great Northern beans
Lentils
Chick peas
Split peas
(ALL legumes, and beans will have the natural break down of protein but not nearly as bad as the stuff ADDED to foods.)
