Wildgrain is today’s sponsor, and honestly, I couldn’t be more excited about this one.
They deliver artisanal sourdough bread, fresh pastas, and pastries straight to your door! Everything bakes from frozen in 25 minutes or less, so you get that “fresh from the bakery” magic without leaving home. And don’t forget their new slow-churned butter. Gluten-free or vegan? They’ve got that too.
