Where do you buy the stuff to make low carb grain free foods?

So going low carb, grain free can be a lot of work and you have to buy a lot of new stuff for your kitchen. I live in NW Illinois near the IA border, so I personally shop at Hyvee for almost all of my ingredients. You can get almost anything on Amazon.com or if you live in a bigger city that has a Whole Foods or Trader Joes I am told.

Here is my Pinterest board with the staple ingredients for low carb and where I buy them:

I have also collected a lot of the ingredient I use and put them together for you to browse and buy through Amazon.

Cheesy Garlic Bread, I finally made this recipe and it was GREAT!

So I am constantly searching for new LOW CARB GRAIN FREE recipes. I found this one several months ago and finally made it last night, right before we had to go in our basement due to a tornado warning for our area. Thankfully this year the tornado skipped our area, we had one go over our house last year and it took a tree down all the way from the roots up!

I was a bit delayed trying this recipe because I didnt have the yeast granules it called for. The dough tasted really great so I was really excited to get them baked. These bread sticks are WONDERFUL! I loved them and ate half the pan actually. My husband also ate them, he said they were pretty good. Of course everyone prefers the wheat flour versions of everything, but my blood sugar has something else to say about wheat flour!

Here is the recipe:

If you are also a low carber or thinking of trying it out, I highly suggest you try these. If you have Diabetes of either type your blood sugar will thank you.

Here is one that uses protein powder that I have also tried and love: http://lowcarbyum.com/parmesan-garlic-bread-sticks/
