Hi, I'm Kori.
I'm the founder, chef, recipe developer, content writer, photographer-and the one behind all the moving parts atย Seeking Good Eats. Here's a little behind-the-scenes on me and why this blog exists:
About Kori
I'm a culinary school-trained chef specializing in holistic wellness and nutrition, but my path wasn't traditional! Before pursuing food full-time, I spent 20+ years as an accountant and CFO-a unique blend of business and culinary expertise that helps me run a successful food-focused brand.
Education & Expertise:
- Culinary School-Trained Chef - Specializing in Holistic Wellness & Nutrition
- Bachelor's in Applied Human Sciences
- Master's in Business Administration (MBA)
- Master's Degree in Accounting
- Member of the International Association of Culinary Professionals
Now, I bring my love of food, technical training, and business acumen together to help others create healthy, delicious meals that fit into real life!
From Kitchen to Business: A Chef's Journey
Cooking has always been my real passion. I learned from my mother, grandmother, and aunts, who are the best cooks ever, then worked in restaurants and catering all through high school and college.
In 2018, I started Seeking Good Eats, and in 2019 I left accounting to run it full-time. With my background in both business and the food industry, I felt ready to build a successful online brand.
To take my expertise even further, I pursued formal culinary training, specializing in holistic wellness and nutrition.
In 2023, I launched my sister site, Slow Cooked Eats, for the crockpot recipes that fed my husband and three boys while I worked full-time with an hour commute each way.
Finding Balance, Not Perfection
Healthy eating has always been a challenge for me-I'm a total foodie. I love cooking and trying new flavors, and honestly, food has always been a source of comfort (which isn't exactly helpful when life gets stressful, right?).
But as I've moved into my 50s, my love of food-paired with less-than-healthy habits-caught up to me, taking a serious toll on my health. It was a wake-up call for sure.
Now, I'm on a lifelong journey to find balance-not perfection. I've learned that healthy eating and movement go hand in hand-there are no shortcuts. Food should nourish, movement should energize, and both should be something we enjoy.
Because at the end of the day, the right foods and staying active truly are the best medicine.

These days the boys are grown, and it's me, my husband, and our two dogs. We travel as much as we can, both around the U.S. and abroad.
About Seeking Good Eats
100% Human Crafted Content
All the recipes and images on the Seeking Good Eats website are 100% human-created (by me) and tested-not AI-generated.
The Beginning
I started Seeking Good Eats in 2018 to share my love of cooking and my ever-growing collection of recipes-gathered from years of cooking for family and friends.
My Audience
As a culinary school-trained chef, I bring my culinary expertise to Seeking Good Eats, creating crave-worthy, low-carb recipes you'll want to make again and again!
I design my recipes with busy, health-conscious households in mind-especially anyone cutting carbs without giving up the foods they love. Most of my dishes are flexible, so everyone at the table can enjoy them.
My Recipes
My recipes are mostly (but not always) low carb: crave-worthy dishes, from cozy comfort food to big fresh salads. I love creating meals that are simple, delicious, and fit real life, including:
- Low-carb and keto-friendly recipes
- High-protein meals
- Lighter comfort food, from Tex-Mex favorites to soups and slow cooker dinners
- Big, fresh salads
- Sugar-free or no-sugar-added meals
- Gluten-free recipes
- Minimally processed, whole-food ingredients
- 10 ingredients or less
- Ready in 30 minutes or less
I believe eating well should be simple, satisfying, and work for everyone at the table!
Notes:
- Sometimes you will see me call for an ingredient that isn't preservative-free or a "whole" food (like canned soup, miscellaneous sauces, or seasonings). I do this purely as a timesaver; however, I try hard to have a homemade preservative-free recipe option that you can make as an alternative (condensed cream of mushroom soup, barbecue sauce, taco seasoning, copycat shake and bake seasoning, etc.).
- Every now and then, I'll share a recipe that might be unfamiliar or seem a bit more complex than you're used to (like my slow cooker leg of lamb). I encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and give it a try! Cooking is all about experimenting and having fun-so when you have some free time on the weekend, challenge yourself with something new and exciting in the kitchen! ๐
