Woodland Mist Academy Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It looks like they have several kinds of care packages. Do you know if they sent exactly what was listed or just a random assortment of gluten free snacks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch at Home Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Thank you for sharing. We have looked at the various on-campus sports team care package but none of them were gf. I do send made gf brownies and cookies frequently because she doesn't get those on-campus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She likes the cookie, brownie, banana bread mixes the best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went gf long before mixes were plentiful and have not experimented with them. In addition, with 4 out of 5 being gf, mixes get pricey.

I keep it for youngest dd to make sandwiches for her to take to college. No one else eats it..just too expensive. America's Test Kitchen has a good recipe book with a nice bread recipe. It needs lots of different ingredients. I haven't found a great, inexpensive, easy way to do GF yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't found a great, inexpensive, easy way to do GF yet. ATK has two really good GF cookbooks. As for gf on the cheap, the best way is to eat naturally gf foods - meat, fruits and veggies, gf grains and grain-based foods. After that there is no cheap if are comparing it to a non-gf diet. Trader Joe’s, Aldi, and Costco combined have a good selection. I mix my own flour mix from flour and starches I order in bulk. Even so it is sill not cheap.
