Story behind this food blog
Hi, I’m Livia Yarra — the voice behind FoodieCreator, where I turn low-carb, keto, and diabetic-friendly recipes into everyday joy.
I started this blog after years of searching for desserts that felt both wholesome and indulgent. Like many, I wanted to enjoy cookies, cakes, and creamy treats — without the sugar spikes or guilt. Through endless testing, tweaking, and tasting, I discovered how powerful simple, real ingredients can be when you understand balance.
Here, every recipe is crafted to be:
- Glucose-friendly — gentle on blood sugar and diabetic-safe.
- Low in carbs, high in flavor — using almond flour, coconut, and natural sweeteners.
- Beautiful and approachable — because healthy food should look as good as it tastes.
My mission is to make you fall in love with keto and low-carb living — not as a diet, but as a sustainable lifestyle that nourishes both body and soul. Whether you’re new to sugar-free baking or already a low-carb pro, you’ll find inspiration here that fits effortlessly into real life.
Each recipe comes from a place of curiosity, care, and creativity — tested until it feels just right. Because at FoodieCreator, I believe that sweetness can come from balance, not excess.
Welcome to a space where health meets comfort, and flavor always comes first.
✨ Let’s bake smarter, live lighter, and love every bite.
Frequently Asked Questions
I photograph all my creations using a Canon EOS R6 paired with a 50mm f/1.8 lens for crisp detail and creamy background blur. Natural daylight is my favorite tool — it keeps the desserts looking real and inviting. I edit minimally using Lightroom to preserve the true texture and color of each low-carb bake.
Start simple — choose a food niche you truly love. I began by testing and sharing one keto dessert each week, refining both recipes and photography. Focus on storytelling, honest reviews, and helpful tips. Over time, consistency and authenticity will draw readers far more than perfect images or fancy tools.
The next FoodieCreator Workshop opens in early summer. It’s a small, hands-on experience where I teach food styling, photography, and how to write recipes that resonate with readers. Subscribers get early access, so make sure you’re on the newsletter list to reserve your spot — spaces always go fast!
For me, food has never been just about eating — it’s about creating a moment. A scent that fills the kitchen, a texture that comforts, a flavor that feels like home. But when I learned about my body’s sensitivity to sugar, everything I knew about “sweet” had to change. What began as frustration slowly turned into fascination — I started experimenting with low-carb baking, replacing sugar and flour with almond, coconut, and natural sweeteners.
At first, I failed more times than I could count. Some cakes were too dry, some cookies too dense, and I often questioned whether healthy desserts could ever taste indulgent. But with each batch, I grew more curious. I realized that food is chemistry — and once you understand the balance between flavor, texture, and nutrition, there are no limits.
That’s how FoodieCreator was born — from a passion to make glucose-friendly desserts that don’t compromise on taste or beauty. My goal isn’t to reinvent the joy of baking, but to redefine it — to prove that you can live a mindful lifestyle and still enjoy the magic of a warm cookie or a creamy mousse.
Through the years, I’ve shared my recipes with thousands of readers who, like me, want to nourish themselves without giving up the things they love. Each recipe is tested, refined, and photographed with care — because I believe food should feel like an experience, not a restriction.
FoodieCreator is now a space where health meets creativity. You’ll find everything from keto cheesecakes and low-carb brownies to sugar-free breakfast ideas and snack recipes that make wellness simple, natural, and delicious. My dream is to inspire you to step into your kitchen with confidence — knowing that your next dessert can be both mindful and extraordinary.
So whether you’re new to keto, managing diabetes, or simply exploring a cleaner lifestyle, I hope you’ll find comfort, joy, and inspiration here. Because in my world, sweetness isn’t something we avoid — it’s something we reimagine.
Cooking is about passion, so it may look slightly temperamental in a way that it’s too assertive to the naked eye.
