Comments on: Baby Steps: Using Alternative Grains http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/07/baby-steps-using-alternative-grains.html Naturally inspired living for the Christian homemaker Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:16:30 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Candace http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/07/baby-steps-using-alternative-grains.html/comment-page-1#comment-24358 Candace Tue, 09 Sep 2008 15:59:13 +0000 http://www.keeperofthehome.org/2008/07/baby-steps-using-alternative-grains.html#comment-24358 Hi Stephanie, I saw a comment of yours on another blog, stating that you don't use wheat at all. I was just curious about that. Does your family have sensitivities, or are you trying to avoid a problem in the future, or is it because it is engineered? Or another reason? I use a lot of wheat, but have begun to reconsider and just wondered what was your main reason for avoiding it (and paying more for spelt). Thanks. Hi Stephanie,

I am actually waiting for test results to find out if I have Celiacs Disease and I will have to explore a lot of new foods if I do have that. Thanks for this insightful post! What a great post!

In our organic food store, they only have the whole grains and I don't have the means to grind it. For those asking about Quinoa...I know it depends on where you live, but I was surprised how easy it was to find (although I don't think it is at my regular food store although I haven't looked) Question: Are you able to find the grains that you use for wheat flour substitutes already ground or do you grind them?

The next trip to the bulk store I had planned on picking up spelt, but I think I will add Millet and Quinoa to the list as well. Keep posting baby steps...it's the little things in life that add up to a great sum! I was just discussing with my husband how I dislike that wheat, rice, and oats are the only grains we eat.

Is quinoa pretty easy to find in a grocery store? I haven't seen it yet but also haven't been looking very hard. Are the oats you're talking about just regular oats you would find in the oatmeal/cereal isle? Quaker?? yes, your chart for substitution of grains would be most helpful!
