Do the holidays bring on a little extra cooking and baking for you and your home like ours?
It can be such a busy time of year. Lots of people traveling, shopping, cooking, partying....
We won't be having any guests over this year but that doesn't mean we aren't cooking up a storm around here either. There are 6 of that live here. I know what you're thinking, how could you possibly have any more time to cook outside of your normal cooking you already do!!
I've got a special little trick up my sleeve! 1 thing that makes these busy holiday times, a little less......... busy?
Because I need that extra time to do some fun baking with my kids. That is their favorite part around these times, Ya kows. In previous years, we would pick out a few different types of cookies and bake them all up. We would share them around, we have mailed some off in little care packages for Grandpa and Grandma and Big Brother, too.
OK! So, enough chitchat. Wanna know my favorite hack that is sure to help you at home? (It involves Sourdough bread too, OBVS!)
Have you heard of Wildgrain yet?
Wildgrain is an AMAZING bread delivery box service, that delivers REAL breads, pastas and pastries right to your door. Never any preservatives, always real ingredients.
Yes, I know. I make my own Sourdough. But there are times when I get so busy that I can't or forget to mix some up for my family. Thats when I love to grab one of their breads out of my freezer (that's where you store them while they wait for you) and bake it. It is seriously the most amazing boughten bread you can ever find. Trust me!
So, What makes their subscription service so unique?
For starters, Wildgrain is a small business. They make more than just sourdough bread! They also make things like:
Artisanal Pastries
Hand cut, fresh pastas
The most amazing biscuits and cookies you will ever have from a delivery service!
Wildgrain also provides FREE delivery on YOUR schedule! Meaning, you can pause your subscription at any time- or even cancel at any time (but you won't want to ;) ) and most everything you recieve goes from freezer-to-table in 25 minutes or less!
Some other amazing facts about this small business is that they use real, clean ingredients. Seriously! There aren't even any preservatives in their breads, pastries or pastas.
They ship your items to you using eco-friendly packaging and for every 1 membership to their breads, 6 meals are donated!
SO COOL, right?
If you're looking for a last-minute gift for someone, Wildgrain is always a great option!
