Welcome to My Productive Backyard!!
The Place to Help You Make Your Keto or Low Carb Lifestyle Successful with Recipes and Information
My Productive Backyard was intended to be all about gardens and chickens with some cooking thrown into the mix but I have been eating low carb or Keto (back and forth as needed) and it has helped me SO MUCH that I wanted to share the great recipes and tips I am learning.
I am so thankful for this WOE (way of eating)(or you could call it WOL; way of life).
It has changed my health in so many ways. That will be its own post sometime! 🙂 Until then. . . .
