Living in Montana I like to buy Montana products to support our state and small businesses. When I was looking for flours to replace wheat I ran across this flour. I have made a loaf of bread out of it using the recipe on the package it came out very nice, it tasted like wheat bread. There blend is white rice, tapioca and Montina. Montina is a Native American grass. The University of Montana has branch in Creston Montana about 25 miles from me, they grow and experiment there and that is where they started working to make the Montina. Currently they are working on grains to produce bio fuel.
I want to experiment with Montina and make it a stable flour in the house. For more about there flour click on the title and read there webpage. They also sell large bags on eBay.
Gluten Free and healthy cooking. We started eating Gluten Free at the beginning of the year. We also have cut back on milk and started using unsweetened soy milk. We have tossed out the refined sugars for organic evaporated cane sugar, raw honey, stevia and soon to try Agave nectar. I will be posting some of my trial projects here on the blog. My sister lives with me and her son and his girlfriend we are trying to get them to go gluten free also.

Glacier Park Area Restaurant Review & GF supplies
I have sent emails off to some and have not had a response. We have been avoiding going out to eat but have tried a couple places. I will add more places as we try them and more items from the places we have been.
Montana Coffee Traders - both Kalispell & Columbia Falls so far.
Omelets have been fine. They understand wheat allergy and a little about Celiac, so they will work with you.
Cislo's Family Restaurant - Evergreen
Omelets have been fine there also, and she understood wheat allergy.
Qdoba Grill - Kalispell
Naked Burritos They have an allergen directory on there web page. They are very similar to Chiptoles
Red Caboose - Whitefish 24 hr diner
They have a nice selection of Omelets and a wonderful Greek Fritatta. They serve generic ketchup and pepsi products but have a great home made lemon aide. The waitress understood and was helpful.
Wendy's - Evergreen
Baked Potatoes with sour cream and chives.
For GF grocery's: Smith's Grocery carries some mixes, some frozen, Ener-G bread they are located in both Columbia Falls & a larger selection in Kalispell. They carry some Organic produce, milk. Super 1 Foods they only one that carries GF is the Whitefish store and it is well worth a stop See my post Gluten Free Heaven for more information.They also have a very good Organic dairy section, produce also. 3rd Street Market in Whitefish. They have a nice selection of Organic foods, GF foods and your all around mini health food store with some supplements. The owner has a wheat intolerance but not Celiac. Great selection of Exotic flowers. Sundrop they have 2 location. I usually go to the one close to me in Columbia Falls, the other is in Kalispell (Evergreen area) they have some produce, frozen bread, Glutino products. Off topic of GF, the best place to buy meat is Perfect Cut Meats in Columbia Falls, it is a great place for fresh beef, pork, elk, venison and buffalo. They smoke there own meats, ham, bacon, pork chops, turkey, so they have no nitrates and yucky stuff, only place that I will buy bacon from or ground beef. They do have a whole section of awarding winning sausages ie brats, beef sticks, pepperonis etc but I am not sure about them being gluten free I think there is some sort of gluten in there. They also usually have fresh frozen wild salmon & Halbut.

Kitty - The Amazing Grains folks have a cookbook that you can buy for around $5-$10 that has gluten free and gluten recipes. The collection is pretty good if you'd like to explore the scope of recipes using Montina.
I have used Montina in a variety of recipes from bread to cookies. My favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe is with Montina. You can find my recipe here: http://glutenagogo.blogspot.com/2006/09/more-chocolate-chip-cookies-chocolate.html
Good luck with your experiments.
