Three Oklahoma Ranch Sisters Publish Cookbook Pairing Family Recipes with Scripture

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

A cookbook about feeding cowboys on a southwest Oklahoma cattle ranch has been published by three sisters who grew up with that work. "Grub and Grace: A Ranch Family Cookbook," written by Kealey Turner, Kylie McClusky, and Kynlee Waters, is now available in paperback, running 122 pages, through Christian Faith Publishing.

The three are daughters of Eric and Chy Waters, founders of Waters Cattle Co., and according to the authors, they learned to cook out of necessity: feeding ranch hands during the demanding stretches of branding and shipping season. The book draws directly on that experience, pairing family recipes with Scripture and short anecdotes about life in a working ranch household.

Each sister brought a different role to the project, the announcement states. Kealey, the eldest, focuses on baking and homemaking. Kylie, the middle sister and an Oklahoma State University graduate who runs two small businesses, handled the photography throughout the book. Kynlee, the youngest, contributes her background in ranch work and outdoor life. The authors stated together, "We wanted to create something that truly reflects who we are as a family", adding that they hope readers will use the book to "cook together, laugh together, and grow closer to God."

The publisher describes the project as pairing practical, usable recipes with the family’s faith and ranching background rather than functioning as a standard recipe collection. "Grub and Grace" is available through bookstores and online retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Google Play, and the Apple iTunes Store, as well as directly through Christian Faith Publishing.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees this as part of a steady stream of faith-and-lifestyle titles reaching readers outside the traditional publishing pipeline, and it’s worth watching whether family-driven projects like this one find an audience beyond their immediate community.
