Jennie Casselman
Wellness Chef, Author & Certified Nutrition
Health Coach
As a North Carolina native, Chef Jennie Casselman takes pride in revamping traditional southern classics by using “better for you” ingredients! Her southern roots play a large role in her culinary offerings. Growing up in a small town with a large family, Jennie always enjoyed being in the kitchen with her mom who cooked dinner from scratch every night. She helped her grandparents with their gardens and grew up appreciating where our food comes from and the work it takes to grow. She continues these family traditions with her now 6yr old twins who love to help in the garden and kitchen.
A skin cancer diagnosis in her late twenties led to her passion for health and nutrition. “I changed everything from the food I ate, the water I drank, I did a total overhaul on my wellness.” Jennie wanted to learn more and be able to use this experience to educate and help others. She later attended Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte NC and earned her culinary arts degree and has been pursuing a career focused on nutrition and teaching others how to own transforming their health. After having her twins, Jennie’s son was diagnosed with several food allergies. Jennie had to get to work in the kitchen, once again and do a total overhaul of their pantry and go gluten free, dairy free! After lots of trial and error, Chef Jennie and her twins built a library of tasty, allergy and family friendly recipes that have contributed to her family’s overall health.
She currently enjoys teaching online cooking classes for a weight loss fitness program, writing, and publishing cookbooks and testing recipes with her twins. When Jennie is not busy in the kitchen, she enjoys creating adventures and traveling with her 6yr old twins and husband.
“My heart’s desire is to educate and inspire others to build healthy sustainable habits in the kitchen but most importantly, be an OVERCOMER!
