Katie Keane of Girl Next Door was at culinary school when she learned she had issues with both milk and gluten. As a celiac with the added challenge of being allergic to milk, she was lucky to pick up a couple tricks from her Michelin star chef along the way. It helped, but even with those tips, it was difficult to find the food and lifestyle tips to support her new diet.
Thanks to Katie Keane and others there’s a wealth of resources available today to make lifestyle transitions like these less daunting — and surprisingly delicious! Her blog shares her journey along with recipes, and other helpful wellness tips such as skincare and self-care. In her quest to find healthy choices that tasted — and looked — good she created a platform to share her passion.
She includes recipes like Snickerdoodle Granola, Peanut Butter, and Jelly Bars, along with multiple other childhood favorite style recipes on her site. If you’re looking for more recipes, her book Vegan and Gluten-Free Recipes is available through her website, along with another that showcases nutritious and balanced smoothie recipes.
Katie is always finding ways to recreate her favorite childhood recipes. People crave those familiar comfort foods, and being able to make tasty versions that are also safe for somebody with celiac to eat is a win-win situation. She has everything from Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie, to Banana Bread and even easy Overnight Oats on her blog.
When you’re in search of something new to try that the family won’t scowl at, head to Girl Next Door, and let Katie show you how to make tempting treats that everyone in the family will love. Her Almond Butter “Crack” Bars are sure to win them over.
Her food restriction taught her the many ingredients that she learned to rely on. Having the right staples in the kitchen makes it easier to adapt your favorite recipes. You’ll find a list of staple items she recommends on her food and wellness blog, which includes things like almond flour.
