Hi, I’m Mary Ann, and I’m not an expert on anything.

Well, except maybe on Grover Cleveland and why he’s my favorite president (don’t get me started!).

I’m not a doctor, dietician, health coach, or influencer. I’m just a one-legged lady trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

But let me tell you: I’ve been through some shit. And I’m not talking about baby bird droppings. I’ve waded through waist-deep elephant dung whose smell alone would knock out a grown man. I’m not here to rescue you, but I can walk alongside you and help you find the courage, strength, and resources for you to rescue yourself.

For me, it was Jesus Christ and the carnivore diet: One saved my soul, the other nourished my body. And I’m thriving as a result!

I don't usually eat before noon, but I have friends staying with me and their eating habits are different. Flexibility is important and it's something I need to work on. I'm grateful for this nourishing plate and friends to enjoy it with!

Lamb bacon

An adventurous evening trying kangaroo, lamb, venison, duck, antelope, and quail at @saskatoongreenville 🦘 I wasn't a fan of the kangaroo but my venison chops and the smoked duck were phenomenal. Always love when @larkthelurker25 comes to visit!

Many of you know my struggles with anorexia and amputation, but in college I struggled with binge eating, depression, and inflammatory skin conditions. I get real in this blog post, and it was a bit scary to press the "publish" button.

A powerful plate of protein that will help me build muscle! I was still hungry after this so I had three chicken thighs fried in tallow as well. I'm not always that hungry, but I do always try to give my body what it asks for. And there must be a rea

Recipes

Tallow Taquitos

These deep-fried taquitos are a nourishing upgrade from the ultra-processed ones in the freezer section. Frying in tallow adds extra flavor and increases satiety - and you’ll get the thumbs up from RFK!

Lusty Egg Salad

This is NOT the bland egg salad in a plastic grocery store package… It’s a flavor blast infused with bacon and packed with protein! Easy to whip up, and no “sus” mayo or seed oils in sight!

Lemon Poppyseed Bundt Cake

Fool your “normie” friends with this high protein lemon poppyseed Bundt cake - it’s sexy enough to serve at a dinner party but clean enough to fit your carnivore lifestyle. They’ll never know the difference!

Simple Scotch Eggs

Whip up this delicious portable snack with four simple ingredients! Bite into a crispy outer shell to enjoy a smooth, silky egg on the inside.

Pumpkin Spice Cakelets

Jump on the PSL train without all the added sugar! These dairy-free caramel cakelets are high in protein and minerals and take less than an hour to whip up, unlike SAD baked goods. My favorite way to serve them is warm with a scoop of my carnivore vanilla ice cream.

ChocoChip Sweetbread (But not that kind!)

It’s an unbelievable concoction: a fluffy, chocolate chip cloud bread high in protein with the added nutrition of organ meats! It tastes like a dream, won’t spike your insulin, and helps you hit your fitness and nutrition goals.

Breakfast Burrito with Hash Browns

Skip the drive-through and whip up this easy, nutrient-dense breakfast burrito to start your day.

Chicken and Waffles

Make this amazing soul food staple with only FIVE ingredients - and no dairy!

Oven Smoked Brisket

Want wood-smoked brisket but don’t own a smoker? This method is for you!

Crispy Oven Chicken Wings

Skip the mess of a fryer and learn to make easy, sensationally crispy wings in the oven instead. Includes several of my favorite marinades & dry rubs for flavor inspiration!

Thicc Mints

Build muscle by eating chocolate? This girl scout cookie alternative will get you those gains!

Cajun Chicken Nuggets

Spicy chicken nuggets made with pork rind breadcrumbs and my secret Cajun spice blend.

Creamy Carnivore Cheesecake

Creamy carnivore cheesecake with a secret ingredient plus buttery crumble crust!

Ham & cheese stuffed chicken breasts - carnivore style!
