You’re invited…

Welcome or welcome back

Hi there! I’m Jessi, a culinary Registered Dietitian with a Masters of Science in Nutrition and I’m thrilled that you’re in the kitchen with me. I love to help people improve their cooking skills one recipe and podcast at a time. I have an anti-diet and all foods fit approach to helping you navigate what comes into the kitchen. Let’s cook up something delicious together in my Healthy Kitchen Online Community.

A Family sized kitchen

I’m a mom of one little boy, Lincoln, with a girl on the way (Dec 2022). Lincoln often joins in during my cooking demos and loves to be in the kitchen with me. Occasionally, I’ll share bits about motherhood, having babies and raising littles here. Read any of my motherhood related posts here.

A Scoop of Podcasting

My podcast, The Kitchen Invitation, is a host of a new episode every week to provide you solutions to common kitchen dilemmas. I love to bring in guests, provide tons of seasonal ideas, guidance, and more. You can find me anywhere you listen to your podcasts by searching for The Kitchen Invitation or head to my podcast page here.

A Pinch More

I love to explore new places and experience local cuisines. I’m a dance teacher and have danced since I was five years old. I really enjoy being outside with my family, lazy gardening, and experimenting with recipes. In my evenings, you’ll find me enjoying time with my husband, Steve, watching a show, playing a board/video game, or falling asleep on the couch.

What is a dietitian?

I got my license as a registered dietitian back in 2013 and I’ve had such an incredible journey so far! If you don’t know, a registered dietitian is NOT just a “nutritionist.” I’ve completed my bachelor’s and master’s degree in nutrition, completed a supervised practice program, passed a national examination and complete continuing education to maintain my credentials. Everyone eats, but not everyone is credentialed to provide nutrition counseling and support.

I’ve been a culinary dietitian from the beginning and have always found a way to work cooking/cooking demonstrations into my various jobs. The kitchen is the best, hands on, classroom and I would love to share that space with you. Wanting to cook for wellness but having no clue where to start is why you need a registered dietitian on your team.
