Hi! My name is Kelsey. I’m a registered dietitian, a home cook turned accidental private chef, and a customer-proclaimed spice girl. I grew up in New Orleans, where food was the heart and soul of my city and family. In 2017, I moved to Oklahoma City, completed my post-graduate program, and officially became a Registered Dietitian.
My journey took an unexpected turn when I was offered the chance to cook for a local family. At the time, I was looking to supplement my income during the first year of my career, so I decided to take on the challenge. What started as a side gig quickly became incredibly fulfilling—and word spread fast about my private chef services. Before I knew it, opportunities multiplied, and just a few months later, I took a leap of faith and left my job to pursue my newfound passion: cooking for families while continuing to work one-on-one with nutrition clients.
During this time, I noticed a gap in the market. My nutrition clients often struggled with flavor and variety in their meals, while my cooking clients raved about the healthy yet delicious dishes I made for them. The secret? My spice blends. Seeing how much joy and confidence they brought to cooking, I had an idea: why not bottle my famous salt-free, sugar-free spice blends and share them with others? And just like that, The Spice Girl Kitchen Seasoning Line was born.
My spice blends are for everyone—from the everyday home cook looking to go on a kitchen adventure, to the apprehensive beginner eager to expand their skills, to the flavor-obsessed. They offer an all-in-one solution for creating bold, flavorful dishes, but I want to take it a step further.
