Hi, everyone! I know it’s been a little while, and I have recipes piling up that I want to post here, but time has not been on my side lately. It does seem to be that way during this time of the year, doesn’t it?
If you bake on a regular basis — gluten free or not — then you know how quickly ingredients can fill up your cabinets and pantry. And if you bake gluten and sugar free, then you might find yourself in my situation, with over a dozen different types of flour plus several sweeteners stuffing your shelves.
Things got so confusing and unkempt looking in my cupboards that I found myself not wanting to bake as much because I knew that I’d have to sort through ziploc bags full of who knows what in order to find what I needed. Not fun!
On a recent Sunday afternoon, I finally had it with the mess, and I went out and purchased snap top containers for my ingredients. I made ingredient labels to go on the containers, and my cupboards are now full of ultra organized and labeled flours and sweeteners. For the first few days after I organized, I couldn’t stop opening the cabinet and smiling because everything was so much easier to find. I plan on keeping it this way!
The free printable ingredient labels (445 Kb PDF) include 27 different flour and sweetener labels in a rainbow of colors. For those who may not be interested in the colors that I chose, and for those of you who don’t use these types of ingredients, I’m also providing a sheet of printable blank labels (529 Kb PDF) that you can use as ingredient labels, gift tags or labels, food labels, and more. I made the blank labels a deep red for a Christmas-y feel, but if you have a graphic editing program like Illustrator or Photoshop, then you can easily change the colors to whatever you’d like. The font I used is Luna, which can be found for free at DaFont.
You will need the Adobe Acrobat Reader to download and use these files. Download the reader for free here. These labels are for personal, non-commercial use only.

posted: December 8th, 2009 at 7:19 pmLove this idea so much more than my sharpie labeled ziplocs. Thank you!
posted: December 9th, 2009 at 4:26 pmWow! I have no idea how I stumbled upon your blog, but I am so hooked!! It is such a relief to me to find gluten-free (and sugar-free, why not?) recipes on-line. I’ve gotten pretty good at improvising, but this will take some of the guess work out of it. PLUS, I get crafty inspiration, too???!!!???
Thank you!
PS: I’ve often heard that gluten-free flours should be kept in the fridge. Is that incorrect?
PPS: There is a cookbook called “Extra-vegan-za” that someone highly recommended to me (apparently, there are excellent gluten-free recipes in it). Have you tried any recipes from it? Any thoughts?
posted: December 9th, 2009 at 8:40 pmI’m so happy to hear that I wasn’t the only one with ziploc bags full of assorted gluten-free flours. Mine would tumble out of the freezer every time I opened it!
posted: December 14th, 2009 at 1:29 amThese labels are so cute! I’m a gluten-free crafter too!!! How exciting!
posted: December 17th, 2009 at 1:16 amwow, came for the biscuits and found labels, too!!!! Thanks so much! I’ll let you know how the biscuits come out

posted: March 21st, 2010 at 7:14 amIs there any way in which I can print my own words onto these labels?
posted: March 21st, 2010 at 6:18 pmI have saved the file onto my desktop, but cannot see any way in which to edit.
Thanks!

posted: August 21st, 2010 at 11:17 amA Marie – I used full sheet matte labels and just cut them into the shape I wanted with scissors. I love the full sheet labels because they’re inexpensive and versatile. Here’s where I buy mine: http://www.onlinelabels.com/Products/OL175WX.htm

A Marie – I’m sorry that you’re having trouble with the labels. Do you have Adobe Acrobat to open and print the files? You can download it for free at this link: http://get.adobe.com/reader/otherversions/
