I have a son with celiacs and I have been trying to feed a family of 4, but we are having a hard time affording the pricey meats. Does anyone have a source for preservative-free chicken, steak, etc that is reasonably priced? I do shop at Meijer and have found the Larkwood Farms brand, but it is still expensive unless I get it marked down because of the use-by date. I have a hungry 15 yr old who needs to eat 3,000 calories a day. Also, we have not been able to find SOFT, EDIBLE buns, hamburger or hot dog. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be appreciated. I also have driven to the Buffalo Grove gluten-frre stores, but as I need to shop every other day, that is too far. We live west of Chicago, near Wheaton, IL. Any suggestions?

You have the opposite problem that I have -- I make gluten-free baked goods and give 3/4 of them away because they go bad before I can eat them. Not a problem with a tenn boy in the house!

I've made good buns from the GFP Favorite Sandwich Bread Mix using 4 inch springform pans. If they come out too tall for buns, I take slices of bread from the middle.

I'm sure others will be able to suggest a good "from scratch" recipe which would be cheaper to make but AFAIK, any good white bread recipe can become buns. You just have to have the right pan for it.
