Budget-friendly low-carb cooking, with the receipts to prove it.

I’m Autumn Jene, the food blogger, author and video creator behind Practical Plate. I write recipes for people who want to eat low-carb without a big grocery bill. Every recipe on this site is priced per serving from real receipts and lists total carbs.
With a master’s in graphic information technology focused on accessible design, and experience teaching research methods to graduate students, I explain the why behind the food, not just the steps.
What I bring to a partnership
- Honest, long-term use. I recommend what I actually use. My slow cooker is 15 years old, and I say so.
- Recipes built for your product, with cost per serving and total carbs.
- Real photos and video shot in my own kitchen.
- Clear FTC disclosures on every sponsored or affiliate post.
Ways to work with me
- Recipe development: a tested recipe post featuring your product.
- Short-form video: YouTube Shorts, Reels, TikTok and Amazon product video.
- Gear features: “the one I use” sections on related recipes, gift guides and buying guides.
- Product reviews after real time in my kitchen.
Partnerships can run across both of my audiences: recipe content on Practical Plate, and product videos shared with my larger Autumn Jene following.
