Who Am I?
Hi! I’m Kayla! In case you didn’t already know… I am the allergy queen! I have three dietary restrictions. Diagnosed with celiac disease, a lactose intolerance, and a nut allergy, I use my blog and instagram as a creative outlet in navigating my way through every day recipes and adjusting them to fit my dietary needs.
I learned to use this process not only as a way to find inner peace and to accept my body’s restrictions, but also as a way to connect with others over what our body needs most—food!“
Navigating food can be hard. Trust me, I know. So I’m here to help!
I like to keep my recipes fun, bright, and approachable! I am laid back, enjoy reading a good book, and also appreciate a good cocktail and of course, love cooking. I live just outside New York City with my fiance and my dog, Beans!
Guess what… I WROTE A COOKBOOK! That’s right! An easy, allergy friendly cookbook!
Coming in March 2023!
