Thank you for your recent comment on coconut flour. I’ve been searching for the correct answer as it is a wonderful source of fiber (13g per 1/4 cup serving ~ taken off of the nutritional label on a package of Trader Joe’s Organic Coconut Flour). For those baking with it, please keep in mind it absorbs much more liquid than other flours and requires more eggs/and or water than the average recipe. I’m very new to this btw but have least learned early on that the Monash studies are the ones to pay attention to.

For your boxes, I would be most interested in food samples and recipes – maybe based on certain themes like holidays, birthdays, seasons, meal or food type (breakfast, snacks, baking), etc. Other products are of less interest to me.

In reply to Abbey Frost. Hi Abbey...I wish sending food samples out of the country was easier!

In reply to Mary Sosinski.

Hi Mary, I don’t know that coconut flour has been tested. My thought would be –given shredded coconut is limited to 1/4 cup—that perhaps small amounts of coconut flour would be okay –but not large amounts or for use as the only flour in a recipe.

Thanks for the info about coconut oil. Coconut flour works well in gluten-free baked goods, but I have avoided coconut flour. Do you know if it’s allowed on low-FODMAP diet? I’d like to see more recipes for food on the go and/or eating out at restaurants. Thanks!

It would be great if you could send the box ‘down under’! We don’t have anything like that available here. I think it would be such a big help understanding what is a complicated set of food rules!

I love your first box and how we can sample a couple of items we haven’t tried.

Down the road it would be fun to have a meal-in-a-box – the ingredients for a main dish, or main dish plus side dish, where you just add the protein and veggies. A healthy, low FODMAP version of Hamburger Helper. ; )

Or maybe you could have a box where you have a choice of savory or sweet.

Thanks!

I am a big lover of coconut oil as well. In regards to your box, I would love to see some season recipes…such as pumpkin bread for the fall or Christmas cookies. Coupons are also a welcome item since we all know how expensive GF items are. I am going to print out the Gorilla Munch Trail Mix and try it this weekend!

I am enjoying your blog posts!!! I’d like to see recipe modifications, grocery shopping guides with manufacture/brand names listed and holiday recipes in the next “box”. Would love to win the new Gluten Free cookbook! 🙂
