Hi y’all! I’m Alaine, wife, mom, Registered Dietitian and blogger here at My Texas Kitchen. My husband and I live with our three boys and Bluetick Coonhound in a small town in Central Texas.
Overview of My Texas Kitchen
I started this blog in May 2014 while studying Nutritional Sciences at Texas A&M University. I then went on to complete my dietetic internship through Texas A&M and earn my credential as a Registered Dietitian.
The blog was put on hold while I worked full-time in Clinical Dietetics in an acute care hospital setting. Life changes eventually led me to becoming a stay-at-home-mom. With three kids at home, I worked on this site in 15 minutes blocks of time. Needing an outlet, but also determined to share something valuable with the world.
What You Can Expect To Find on My Texas Kitchen
While I started by sharing mostly healthy recipes, My Texas Kitchen has evolved over the years. Most of what I share now is realistic family-friendly meals with foods that are readily available to me in the small Central Texas town I call home. I also have an interest in preserving authentic Texas recipes.
I follow a non-diet mentality when cooking for my family. I focus on providing balanced and nourishing meals, which I believe means nourishing the soul too. This means you will see some treats, baked goods and some traditional comfort food here.
If there is a certain topic or nutritional concern you would be interesting in seeing more of on My Texas Kitchen please contact me. My goal is to help others through this blog.
There are a lot of recipe sites on the internet and I want to thank you for visiting mine! It is truly an honor to be a small part of your meal or special occasion.

My goal for My Texas Kitchen is to help others by sharing family-approved recipes, balanced meal ideas and tips for busy families. I want my friends and family to avoid the traps of trending fad-diets, pricey quick fixes and false promises of wellness. I hope to be a source of evidenced-based nutrition information in a world of information overload.
