Hi, we’re Kathryn & Kristin – glad you stopped by.
We’re here because we love to cook!
Give us healthy, low carb ingredients and we’re in heaven.
It wasn’t always that way. A low carb lifestyle became a nessecity for both of us after reaching a ‘certain age’. Turns out, carbohydrates aren’t necessarily your friend!
Once we did some research, we learned that many women (and a lot of men) struggle with carbohydrate weight gain as they get older. Their metabolism slows, they tend to become less active, and, sure enough, the pounds increase.
It was time for a change!
As sisters, we decided to work together compiling what we were learning and sharing it with all those interested.
Our Low Carb Journey – Focusing on Low Carb Ingredients
Because we love to cook, we were both intrigued with the idea of creating recipes that work for people with different skill levels and time constraints. Just because you’re busy doesn’t mean you can’t craft elegant, beautifully-presented meals that are nurturing AND nutrious.
The recipes on this site are based on fresh, local low carb ingredients while focusing on techniques that can be easily reproduced. Whether you cook in your kitchen, over a campfire, or in an RV or travel trailer, we think you’ll find these recipes easy and delicious. In fact, give us a grill, an Instant Pot, a Sous Vide precision cooker, or a portable induction burner and we’re off to the races.
To truly live a low carb lifestyle, we think it’s important to enjoy the flavors you love. So, we’ve also tried to include substitutions for carb-heavy basics like bread, rice, and tortillas. That way, if you feel like fish tacos, brownies, or pizza, it’s no problem.
Last piece of business – on several of the recipes, we have included some of our favorite products (and a few we hope to invest in soon). Full disclosure: we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. If you decide to make a purchase, thank you and please let us know how the product works for you.
At the end of the day, this space is about sharing what we’ve learned, what we’re cooking, and what’s working for us.
We hope it inspires you, makes your life a little easier, and maybe even gets you excited to step into the kitchen.
Welcome to our low carb adventure.
Again, we’re glad you stopped by – come back often!
