About ‘Tis Yummy

Welcome to ’Tis Yummy!

Hey, I’m Jack — founder of this site, food-lover by nature, and a health scientist by training. You could say I’ve spent the better part of my adult life bouncing between what science says and what actually ends up on my plate.

Jack Baron - ’Tis Yummy Founder

For years, I struggled with weight and wellness despite knowing all the “right” things to do. I tried nearly every eating plan — and kept circling back to keto, low-carb, and paleo. Not because they’re magic. But because they made the most sense to me (and frankly, they didn’t make me hangry).

I started ’Tis Yummy for three reasons:

  • To keep myself accountable. I needed a home base for the recipes I liked, the ideas that worked, and the lessons I learned the hard way.
  • To share what I was learning. I spend way too much time digging into research and recipe blogs — this site is where I put the best of it.
  • To make keto feel more doable. I’m not a chef, but I am good at spotting a fake-out cauliflower recipe from a mile away. My goal? Help you find meals that are actually worth repeating.

You’ll find original content here and plenty of curated recipes from around the web — always credited, always honest. If I’ve missed an attribution, please reach out.

And while I bring a science lens to this blog, nothing here is medical advice. Just one guy sharing what’s worked (or not worked) for him — so you can take what’s useful and leave the rest.

Thanks for stopping by — and welcome to the kitchen!
