Welcome to Real Life Recipes! I'm Olivia Wyles, a recipe developer, photographer, writer, cookbook author, and recipe content creator with 8 years' experience and 200k+ followers across all platforms. I create sugar-free, gluten-free, keto, and high protein recipes.
I created this food blog in 2018 to share easy recipes, primarily for the keto diet. I would ask myself, would I actually make this in real life?
In 2026, I was verified by Real Bloggers network, a directory of real human bloggers, so you can be sure you're getting quality content and recipes tested 2-3 times by a human, not AI.
Since 2022, I've been recipe content creator for Keto Chow one of my brand partners and my favorite low carb meal shake.
I'm the author of Quick + Easy Keto Recipes, a digital visual cookbook curated to provide only the easiest and best keto recipes made for real life.
In 2021, I was diagnosed with ADHD which inspired me to create the visual guides you can find on my shop and the Ultimate Keto Bundle made with visual learners in mind.
Since 2015, I've been making freezer meal prep meals to provide easy dinners for my family. I can make entire month of dinners into 2 hours.
I've been featured in TODAY.com, Reader's Digest, HuffPost, Food & Wine, Finance Buzz, Go Banking Rates, Mashed, Wellness Magazine, and Women's World.
About Me
- I've been a recipe developer, content creator, food blogger, and photographer since 2018.
- I love no-bake desserts.
- I have a Bachelor's of Applied Science in Business Management.
- I'm a theatre kid. From 1st grade to college, I was involved in theatre. I was always in a play, singing, or dancing all throughout my childhood.
- When I graduated high school, I wanted to be either an actress or a teacher. I think I found a way to be both as a content creator and food blogger.
- I'm a gamer. I built my first computer at 13, and my favorite thing to do was play Crayola Art Studio, Tomb Raider and the Sims. Later on, it was World of Warcraft, where I met my husband. Now I love playing Palia and other cozy games.
- I love music. I am one of those people who can feel the music and it gives me goose bumps.
- I'm a visual learner, which helped me develop a lot of my products and content with visual learners in mind.
- I love Aldi's with all of my heart. It's my favorite store in the entire galaxy.
- I'm a huge lawn nerd. Ask me anything about Bermuda grass grown in Florida.
Follow me!
As a disclaimer, while I do create recipes on this recipe blog for lifestyles with certain dietary requirements, I am not a dietician or doctor. These are recipes that I have developed from my 8 years of experience with thorough research on these diets. Always listen to your body's specific needs and consult a doctor before starting a new diet.
Food Philosophy
- Recipes should be easy to make in real life, especially when you have dietary requirements.
- You should always do what works best for your body.
- Gotta have dessert every once in a while. Even better if it's sugar-free and gluten-free.
- Use less ingredients. Use simple ingredients. But shortcuts are okay.
- Meal prep and freezer meals are the best.
Favorite Products
- Keto Chow - A keto meal shake with ⅓ of your daily nutrients: protein, fiber, healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. I drink one of these for breakfast almost every morning, and I use it in most of my recipes that call for protein powder.
- Saltt Electrolytes - The perfect balance of sodium, potassium, and magnesium with no additives. I use it every day, and it helps me with energy, mood, sleep.
- Bulletproof's Brain Octane Oil - One of the most pure MCT oils.
- Besti Sugar Replacement - Best sugar-free sweeteners made with allulose and Monk fruit. Every type of sugar replacement you can think of: powdered, granulated, brown, honey, even maple syrup.
- Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides - Good source of protein. It mixes perfectly into hot or cold drinks. Great for coffee, smoothies, or just water.
