Hey! I’m Anna, the older one of us. I’m a radiology tech at an outpatient surgery center about an hour and a half away from the ranch. I have truly always loved the ranch and growing up in agriculture, if I’m not working you can often find me back home helping with whatever is going on on the weekends.

I’ll find any excuse to bake to give away or take somewhere. I will be creating some of my own recipes to share, along with finding the best recipes from the original cooks themselves to share. Outside of the kitchen, I love to play with my corgi Spud, go kayaking on the river, and drinking a Busch Light with friends and family. .
Recently, I even invested in a few cows of my own. I’ll be spending most of my time on this adventure in the kitchen, which doesn’t bother me one bit. I love cooking and baking, it’s a love of mine. As odd as it sounds, it’s even relaxing just to get a little creative and make something.
I am Renae, your stereotypical free-spirit younger sister. Life has changed a lot for me over the last few years. I went from traveling the world, living in our Papa’s basement, and working for myself to being a full domesticated lady.
Renae
I am now a wife and mom to a little boy. Get this, we also have cattle. Which, if you know me at all, is SHOCKING. I swore up and down that I never would after I left our family’s ranch in Nebraska. We are growing our small herd in Colorado.
I will be sharing my side of things on here, which is more of the marketing and design side of things. Outside of that, I love gardening, decorating our house, and finding little crafts to do. We are both so happy you are here.
WHY CTK
Columbia Table Kitchen started back in 2021 when we put together two of our favorite things. Anna has always wanted to create a cookbook, and Renae found a love for design in college. After we had talked about this idea for MONTHS, we finally decided it was time to jump in. From the start, we knew wanted to build our cookbook around the amazing farm and ranch wives we were raised around. It has now grown into a food blog, ideas for more products, and a love for food photography.
