Discovering the Bulk Barn

Every week for the last couple of months I have been travelling to the East end of Toronto for work - in doing so I have discovered this great store (which I vaguely remember from years ago when I lived in Scarborough.) Bulk Barn! (I have never seen one downtown, that is not to say they don't exist, i just haven't seen one!)

Super great place to find Gluten Free Everything! and while not completely wheat / oat / rye free. I have made the bigger switches ( with the odd induldgence - I have to find a bagette replacement for my brie treat once in a blue moon - or not! )

I am switching because I feel better when I do not eat flour based products, Gluten Free helps really decrease that "bloat" feeling and combined with my medication I just feel less pain etc.

The Yummy List from the bulk barn

  • Rice Brown Pasta - just as good as the PC brand and WAY cheaper. considering my entire family now easts this pasta ( and it is the only kind I serve to guests so be aware!) this was an awesome find!
  • GFCF brownie Mix ( Also have a great recipe from Knitwit to try - which I have also shared with all my family )
  • Tapicoa Flour, Rice Flour, Xanum Gum (SP?), Buckwheat flour
  • and many many more!
Rediscoverd Flavour
- Hamburger on a lettuce leaf -- so good but messy!
