I’m Emilie... I'm a 7th generation Texas girl with a long-time love of food and cooking and some definite hippie tendencies! I'm also a mom, a wife, a former restaurateur, Celiac, outdoor enthusiast and an eternal optimist. Here you will find keto & low carb recipes that are always gluten free and a glimpse into our crazy, busy Texas ranch life! Yep...I live on a game ranch in the middle Texas with my husband, The Cowboy, and our two girls. You could say we life live a modern ranch lifestyle with a healthy keto & low carb twist! When I’m not cooking for hungry ranch guests, I'm busy creating simple, family friendly keto and low carb recipes, focused on using the resources around us, like the wild game we harvest and veggies we grow right here on the ranch. After years of struggling with numerous health issues, this way of eating has literally given me my life back. It’s also ignited a passion to help others on the same path to find the best versions of themselves. I’m so glad you found me!
