^ Uses a almond, coconut, and cauliflower blend in a powdered mix great for making your own dough grain free with much less prep work

WHILE on the subject of grain free options I would like to introduce a company that makes some ALRIGHT options not the best but the fact they are keto friendly, paleo based puts them at the top of my make do emergency list. The bars from them are meh, the cheese is alright but the fact you can order it on amazon has a selling point, the breads are iffy as well but decent for urges.
