About Kelsi

As the youngest of eight, I spent much of my childhood with my mom in our kitchen, where my interest in food first began.

When I was ten, a serious health scare led my mom to adopt an enzyme-rich Raw Food Diet. After several years of watching and learning from her, I decided to go raw as well.

Eating raw during middle and high school required incredible discipline and planning. Together, my mom and I spent months studying the art and science of raw food. We first went to the Ann Wigmore Natural Health Institute in Puerto Rico, where we learned how sprouting and fermenting foods can create a healthy gut and ultimately help heal the body. Next, we attended the Living Light Culinary Art Institute in California, discovering the gourmet possibilities of a Raw Food Diet.

Back in Idaho, we started teaching Raw Food classes. Even a decade later, after moving to Utah with my husband, I still had students requesting our Brownie Batter Bites every time I returned home. Eventually, I realized our bites were an important way to help others on their wellness journey. With lots of encouragement from my mom, who always said I was preparing my whole life to launch Kelsi's Kitchen, I began selling them in Idaho Falls. Just as I was bringing Kelsi's Kitchen to life, my mom was diagnosed with ALS. Sadly, three months later, in September 2019, she passed away.

Shortly afterward, my partner Cassandra joined Kelsi's Kitchen, and we officially became a team of two! Together, with the incredible support of our families, we’ve spent countless late nights and early mornings hand-making and delivering our bites. Kelsi's Kitchen has been a true source of joy for me, not only because we bring life-changing food to others, but also because it allows me to share what my mom and I learned with a larger community.

We hope you enjoy our bites as much as we enjoy making them!

XO,
