My Fave Ingredients

A few friends have asked me to list some of my fave ingredients and where I buy them.
Here ya go---

My fave products with links (if available) and info on where I buy.
Honeyville almond flour (baked goods will be pretty dense)-- I buy at Costco and Amazon.

Coconut Flour (needs extra moisture when baking with it)-- Amazon or Vitacost.

Native Forest Organic Classic Coconut Milk--
I buy from Amazon by the case. Since I don't use dairy or almond milk coconut milk is a must in my coffee!
http://www.amazon.com/Native-Forest-Organic-Classic-13-5-Ounce/dp/B001HTJ2BQ/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1408736994&sr=8-8&keywords=bpa+organic+coconut+milk

Nutiva Coconut Oil--
I buy a HUGE tub from Costco. I use this for cooking and as a moisturizer on my skin and my son's.
http://www.amazon.com/Nutiva-Organic-Virgin-Coconut-54-Ounce/dp/B000GAT6NG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408737121&sr=8-1&keywords=nutiva+coconut+oil

Grassfed Organic Ghee by Pure Indian Foods--Fantastic for cooking. Kid says it tastes like butter but better. LOL! I buy mine from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Grassfed-Organic-Ghee-7-8-Oz/dp/B0032RPLSY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408737198&sr=8-1&keywords=organic+ghee

Artisana Coconut Butter--Yummy on so many things...even a spoon! ;) Great for when you need a fat boost. I've found it on clearance at Ross, Marshalls and  TJ Maxx. Otherwise I'll buy from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Artisana-Coconut-Butter-16oz-Glass/dp/B00IMIJHCO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408737282&sr=8-1&keywords=coconut+butter

Artisana Raw Cashew Butter--So creamy and yummy. Hubby LOVES this stuff.
Vitacost and Amazon are the places I can easily find this particular product.
http://www.amazon.com/Raw-Organic-Cashew-Butter-16-ozs/dp/B001RPT6O8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408737366&sr=8-1&keywords=raw+cashew+butter

Dry roasted cashews--Trader Joes has great organic ones.

Crunchy Salted Almond Butter-- Trader Joes is SO good. It's my new fave.

Coconut Aminos--soy free/wheat free sub for soy sauce. It's never out of stock in my pantry!
I buy mine from Nob Hill/Raleys but I've seen it at health food stores and on Amazon but it's WAY
overpriced on Amazon!

Red Boat fish sauce--A must for Thai inspired dishes. This is one of the few that doesn't have added sugar. It's pricey BUT a little goes a very long way! I buy mine from Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Red-Boat-Fish-Sauce-500/dp/B00B617XK2/ref=sr_1_1?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1408738178&sr=1-1&keywords=red+boat

Chosen Foods avocado oil-- I use this on everything in place of plain EVOO. I get mine at Costco. It's under $11 for a big glass bottle.
http://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Foods-Avocado-Bottle-Naturally-Refined/dp/B00CYML9FW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408738271&sr=8-1&keywords=chosen+avocado+oil

US Wellness bacon--It's the only Whole 30 approved bacon out there. Bacon and salt..the end. I order it in bulk and keep it in my freezer.

My local Costco also carries the following items that I pretty much always have on hand--
Organic boneless/skinless chicken thighs, organic drumsticks, Great Range ground bison, organic ground beef, bagged  pre-washed organic Power Greens, bagged pre-washed organic baby kale, boxed organic salad greens, boxed organic baby spinach, Medjool dates, macadamia nuts, organic raisins, frozen organic mango chunks and fresh pineapple.

Regarding organic meats...I do the best I can and buy organic meat when the budget allows. On occasion, like when a local store has their pick 5 for $25 sale, I will buy non organic meats. I do what I can when I can.

Trader Joes also has a few items that I like but I don't get to go there much anymore. I stock up on the following when I go though-- Organic dry roasted cashews, macadamia nuts, raw almonds, dried persimmons, my newest fave is there crunchy salted almond butter, salted organic peanut butter (for the kid) and dried mangos.
