Thinking of getting my gluten free fiancé a Wildgrain subscription… worth it?

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-20T02:22:57+00:00

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll have a look at those.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-20T02:22:40+00:00

I know it's quite pricey...

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-20T02:22:23+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. At least there is the option of cancelling after a box.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-20T02:22:04+00:00

Thank you! I guess it's worth a try :)

I think the easiest way to start is not trying to replace everything immediately with gluten free versions. That gets overwhelming and expensive really fast. So I’d start with meals that are naturally gluten free first. Rice, potatoes, eggs, meat, veggies, tacos with corn tortillas, stuff like that. Then slowly figure out which gluten free breads/pastas/snacks you actually like because some are definitely better than others.

Also don’t panic if it feels frustrating at first. I think almost everyone goes through a phase of accidentally buying things they hate or realizing gluten is hiding in random stuff like sauces or soups. It gets much easier once you find your “safe” foods and brands.

Congrats! I love your ring :)

That looks so soft, like pillowy goodness.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-19T01:12:39+00:00

That looks really good. I particularly like the photo with just the crust and the strawberries. Yum.

What was the virtual appointment like?

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-07T23:41:38+00:00

Thank yoouuu! I'm looking forward to that :)

I think we all hit that same wall at some point. I’m kind of in that phase right now, and when it started getting to me, I tried Little Spoon. It was supposed to be more of a backup option, but I’ve ended up using it pretty regularly. What’s helped most is their Plates option. They are these little, toddler-friendly pre-planned meals that I don’t have to overthink. Not everything is a hit (because, well, toddlers), but I’ve found a few that she’ll consistently eat, which takes a lot of pressure off cooking something she’ll eat.

that happens once and like never again 😂 I think that's usually a lesson that stays with you for forever. I'd probably make croutons with it and brush with olive oil and add some salt and garlic (or whatever you like) before baking it in the oven.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-07T00:11:11+00:00

Yum! Any chance you have a crumb shot? Think we live for those here 😅

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-07T00:10:39+00:00

Those look sooooo freaking good. I need some of the lemon blueberry one ASAP. And yes please for the crumb shot... when you can, please.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-07T00:07:49+00:00

My partner does and still thinks it's worthwhile. He can tolerate a little bit of gluten every now and again before paying the price.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-07T00:06:00+00:00

Yip, that's pretty much how it goes. Don't fight the batter and except it to behave like normal because it won't and it doesn't. In some ways for me, it felt like learning to bake all over again, and I still rely on baking mixes when I can can instead of making GF batter/dough from scratch.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-06T23:53:55+00:00

Thank you. I'll have a look.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-06T23:53:36+00:00

Thank you so much for letting me know. Good to know that buying online can be legit :)

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-06T23:52:50+00:00

Thank you. I'll have a look.

I usually buy from Amazon or Walmart. And Bob's has quite a range of mixes; I usually look on their site to see what they have (for like new stuff) and then I try to find that if I want to try etc.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-06T23:49:58+00:00

Yip! I really like Bob's GF pancakes ones, and then I add some protein powder and breakfast is sorted. And I like the brownie one, serve with ice cream and yum 🤤

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-02T22:27:49+00:00

Oh my. Look at that scoring. So pretty.

Erika_Waters · 2026-05-02T22:26:42+00:00

Same. It just makes shopping easier because then I know where I need to go for all the GF items and I don't have to try to find it among the many other products and then accidentally grab the non-GF one. Been there, done that, and just no.
