Hi! Welcome to my kitchen!

I am Katie and I have Celiac Disease. I've been living gluten-free since 2018 and I feel better now than I've felt for most of my adult life.

For years, I struggled with digestive issues, a bloated stomach, & intense heartburn.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
After my grandma was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I asked my doctor to be screened and sure enough, that was the start of my new, gluten-free life. ⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Going gluten-free quite literally saved my life! Little did I know, all those years of not feeling well, my body was attacking itself and the gluten-free diet was the only way to put a stop to it.⁣⁣⁣
⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
Really though, going gluten-free didn’t just save my life, it gave me life. It gave me health and energy. It gave me a life to look forward to, not fear. For that, I’ll be forever grateful. ⁣⁣⁣And that is why I say, Gluten-free IS LIFE for me.

I started Wheat by the Wayside as a way to combine my passion for cooking, baking, and food photography in a way that can help others too. I'm here to provide you with easy and delicious gluten-free recipes that are tested multiple times before publishing. Information about ingredients and cooking techniques is included to give you all the information needed for success! Occasionally, I also share in-depth, researched, and informative articles about topics related to gluten-free living. Either way, I hope you leave here empowered with knowledge and confidence in your gluten-free journey.
