Hi! I'm Emmy, a recipe developer, chef, and the founder of Entirely Emmy. I specialize in creating delicious, wholesome recipes that prove healthy eating can be joyful and satisfying. Every recipe I develop is gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and built on a foundation of simple, real ingredients. My work has been featured in major publications such as Fox News, Food & Wine, Good Housekeeping, Martha Stewart, Southern Living, The Times, Huffpost, Better Homes & Gardens, Real Simple, All Recipes, Tasting Table, Men's Journal, Homes & Gardens, Express, Yahoo Creators, and The Mirror, to name a few! My journey into this world began in college when I was diagnosed with celiac disease. Overnight, I had to rethink everything I knew about food. I treated it as an opportunity to get creative, researching and experimenting until I discovered a new way to cook that made me feel my best without ever compromising on taste. Now, after over a decade of perfecting my recipes and reimagining what it means to cook and eat well. My mission is to help others see that food can be a source of comfort, connection, and vitality. Whether it's adapting a beloved family recipe to be gluten-free or developing a meal plan to fuel an active lifestyle, my focus is on making healthy living approachable and delicious.

Ashley Kitchens, MPH, RDN, LDN, is a nationally recognized plant-based dietitian, spokesperson, and nutrition consultant. Ashley founded her company "Plant Centered Nutrition" with the intention of providing approachable plant-based nutrition information to her clients, community, and media audience. Ashley is regularly seen in national media outlets such as Fox News, VegNews, Vegetarian Times, Eating Well, The Times Weekly, Forbes, Newsweek, and Health.com, providing comments and education on various nutrition related topics. She is a trusted source with over 10 years of experience practicing as a plant-based dietitian. She also partners and collaborates with plant-based friendly brands through social media, speaking engagements, her podcast, and many more platforms. Ashley grew up on an Angus cattle farm in small-town Indiana. As you might guess, meat and dairy were a big part of daily life. Unfortunately, so were GI issues like chronic constipation. For years, Ashley was told to manage her issues with medication instead of considering the food she was putting into her body. Ashley earned her Masters of Public Health and Nutrition from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and became a registered dietitian in 2012. But, even after all that, her GI issues didn’t completely go away. It wasn’t until she did personalized research to dive deep into her own life and her own eating habits that she noticed a significant change. For her, this meant transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle. After that transition, she knew there were others who could benefit from a diet filled with more plants. She also knew it was critical for the coaching they received to be based on a deep understanding of their unique situation. That’s when she realized why she became a dietitian. Ashley made it her mission to help others transition to a plant-centered way of eating through a holistic approach and intuitive eating practices.
