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.

Veneda Hackner has released "Which Fitz," a 66-page poetry collection published by Covenant Books that centers on the small, often unnoticed moments of daily life, according to the publisher’s announcement.
The book arrives through Covenant Books, a Christian publishing house based in Charleston, South Carolina, that works across genres aimed at Christian readers. The collection is available in paperback and ebook editions, with an ISBN of 9798897639960, and is being sold through major retailers including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Apple Books, as well as independent sellers.
According to the announcement, Hackner’s poems draw on personal observation and reflection, built around themes of mindfulness and gratitude. The publisher describes the work as finding what it calls "transformative power" in ordinary instances — a conversation, a glance, a sudden realization — and frames the collection as an invitation for readers to notice what they might otherwise overlook.
In the announcement, Hackner stated: "My hope is that readers find in these poems a mirror to their own experiences, and through that reflection, discover the exceptional hiding within the ordinary."
The publisher positions the collection as accessible to both regular poetry readers and newcomers to the form, pairing plain language with what it describes as genuine emotional weight. Covenant Books’ catalog runs broadly across Christian-market genres, and "Which Fitz" fits within that scope as a devotional-adjacent poetry title rather than a narrative work.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching to see how a collection built on quiet, small-scale subject matter finds its readership in a poetry market that tends to reward either confessional memoir or overtly thematic, issue-driven work.

Three sisters who grew up cooking for cattle crews on their family’s southwest Oklahoma ranch have published a cookbook built from those years in the kitchen. "Grub and Grace: A Ranch Family Cookbook," by Kealey Turner, Kylie McClusky, and Kynlee Waters, is out now through Christian Faith Publishing, running 122 pages.
The three are daughters of Eric and Chy Waters, founders of Waters Cattle Co., and according to the announcement, they learned to cook out of necessity, feeding ranch hands during branding and shipping seasons when the work doesn’t stop for mealtimes. Each sister took on a different part of the project: Kealey, the eldest, focused on baking and home cooking; Kylie, an Oklahoma State graduate who runs two small businesses, handled the photography throughout the book; and Kynlee, the youngest, contributed her background in ranch work and outdoor life.
What separates the book from a standard family cookbook, per the announcement, is its structure: every recipe is paired with Scripture and a short anecdote tied to the dish, built around the family’s faith and daily life on the ranch. The sisters stated they wanted to create something reflecting their family identity, hoping families would use the cookbook to cook together and grow closer to God.
The book is available in paperback and listed online at major retailers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble, alongside the Christian Faith Publishing store.
For Studio CarryOnHarry, what stands out here is the collaboration itself — three sisters each bringing a distinct skill to one project, rather than a single author’s memoir dressed up with recipes. It’s a format worth watching for how well it travels beyond readers already drawn to ranch or faith-based cookbooks.
