Kelly Powers San Francisco

I'm Kelly of Kelly Powers. I help busy people feel more confident in the kitchen while improving their relationship with food. More specifically, I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the creator of Weeknight Dinners — a weekly meal plan program that helps people stress less about food. I also provide 1:1 coaching to help individuals and families find more ease and joy in cooking and eating.

I hope to support you on your health and wellness journey. Feel free to book a free consult call with me if you’re looking to change your life and improve your relationship with food. I can help.

In 2017, I was building a nutrition startup with a small team in San Francisco, working as the lead dietitian at a bay area residential eating disorder clinic, and counseling private clients.

The startup didn't launch, the eating disorder clinic was weighing on me, and building a private practice was slow — it was time for a change.

So, I moved to Rome to get a graduate degree in Food Studies.

One night, at 2:04 am, to be exact, I had an idea. I had a busy day and ate dinner late. To save time, I made a meal in 15 minutes. It was amazing. As I laid in bed, it kept running through my mind — farro, roasted carrots and fennel, and za'atar chicken served with a simple lemon yogurt sauce and crushed almonds. It was quick, but if I had prepared a few items ahead of time, it would have taken 5 minutes.

At that moment, all the projects I'd previously worked on came together. I realized I needed to inspire people to cook.
Not in an extravagant way but in a practical manner that would foster love, compassion, and self-worth. One that would be sustainable and promote behavior change. One that would be empowering.

So in 2018, mid-way through my studies, I built a weekly meal plan program that offers users support and inspiration to change their dietary habits — it's called Weeknight Dinners.

You see, I've always wanted to help others improve their relationship with food.
It's not something that comes from a diet or food trends or even weight loss. It comes when you listen to your needs and nourish your body. When healthy eating and living well become a part of your everyday life.

It happens when you stop to smell the oranges at the market. When you take time to smell onions caramelizing on the stovetop. When you appreciate the variety that comes along with eating in season. Each of those moments not only better your relationship with food, they better your relationship with yourself.

I know it may seem like a lot, but I’m on a mission to change that — to shift perception around diet and consumption.

So, if you're a busy independent woman. A woman who's interested in eating well. A woman who doesn't have an extra hour to spend in the kitchen every night.

Welcome.
