Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to Grainless Life! By using our website, signing up for our newsletter, or accessing our recipes and content, you’re agreeing to these terms. We’ve tried to write them in plain English rather than legal jargon, but they’re still legally binding.
If you don’t agree with these terms, please don’t use our website. We’d hate to see you go, but we understand that terms and conditions matter.

Recipe License and Usage
Personal use: You’re welcome to make our recipes for yourself, your family, and your friends. Cook away! Share meals! Enjoy delicious gluten-free food!

Recipe modifications: Go ahead and adapt our recipes for your family’s needs! Different flour blends, allergy modifications, personal preferences – that’s how cooking works. If you share your modifications online, we’d love a mention that you started with one of our recipes.

We love feedback! When you comment on our recipes or email us about your results, you’re helping make our content better for everyone.
What you’re agreeing to: By posting comments or sending us feedback, you’re giving us permission to use your comments on our website and in our marketing materials. Don’t worry – we’ll always credit you appropriately.

Community Guidelines
Be helpful: Our community is built on helping each other succeed in gluten-free cooking. Share your experiences, ask questions, and support other home cooks.
Respect dietary needs: Please remember that for many of our readers, gluten-free isn’t a choice – it’s a medical necessity. Be sensitive to the fact that celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are serious health conditions.
