Welcome to Keto Cowgirl!


So out here in the Texas hill country, our daily attire involves dusty boots, a worn out cowboy hat, and old faded Levis. With all that goes on around here, getting dressed in the dark early morning hours is common, so being able to fit into those jeans is kind of a big deal.

Growing up, we were always taught that fat was the enemy. But y'all, it ISN'T. I could cut the fat all day long but still be exhausted and struggling to keep my weight down (at 5"1', it's a bit more of a struggle for me than folks who aren't quite so vertically challenged). My health took a toll, I was tired ALL the time, and I felt like I was aging at a very fast pace.

Then one day at a resale shop I came across a little paperback book about low carbing, and figured what the heck, I had to do SOMEthing. So I bought the book and pored over it. Starting that day - and nearly every day since - I've done tireless research and shopping and cooking and recipe testing and a partridge in a pear treeeee, and I'm happy to report that thanks to that book (and others that followed), my weight is normal and stabilized, and my energy levels are through the roof.

I love to cook, but not everyone does, which is why I started this site. My goal is to keep recipe ingredients and instructions as simple as possible so that no one has to stress about eating healthy. So! If you're looking for something to satisfy your cravings without spiking your blood sugar, you've come to the right place. You can follow my recipes, or if your sweet tooth is acting up but you don't wanna cook, just order which treat you want and I'll make it for you!

The More You Know


    Keto eating focuses on low-carb, high fat intake (similar to the ever-popular Atkins diet). When you drastically cut back on carbs, your body goes into a metabolic state called ketosis. When this happens, your body becomes incredibly efficient at burning fat and supplying energy to the brain. A keto way of eating can also cause significant reductions in blood sugar and insulin levels, which is why it's often recommended for folks suffering with diabetes or pre-diabetes.

    That being said - Consult your physician before beginning any new diet.
