About Kelly

Creator of My Dinner Reset

Hi, I’m Kelly.
And I’ve never loved cooking.
I didn’t grow up dreaming of dinner parties.

I was a latchkey kid with my two younger brothers. After school, we fed our dad’s animals — chickens, dogs, horses, rabbits, even sheep — and helped our mom with chores around the house.


Our parents divorced when I was 15. Suddenly, dinner was my responsibility every other week. Not just for me. But for my brothers and our dad.

I was terrible at it.
I burned the meat. I didn’t know green vegetables cooked down.

Sometimes Dad stepped in, but with his police shifts, many nights it was cereal, sandwiches, or whatever we could heat up.

The Struggle That Sparked My Dinner Reset

Throughout my own adult life, dinner never got easier.

I went through the Pinterest phase — printing out recipes, promising myself I’d try them. Most of them just sat untouched in a kitchen drawer.


We even splurged on pre-made dinners from the store for a while. They were expensive, repetitive, and honestly, not that satisfying.


That’s when it hit me:

Dinner isn’t hard because of the food.

It’s hard because of the mental load.

The real weight wasn’t “what’s for dinner tonight?”
It was the endless cycle of decisions:

  • What do we have?

  • What can I make?

  • Will anyone eat it?

  • What do we need to buy?

  • What did we have last night?

Dinner didn’t need to be fancier.
It needed to be lighter.

✨ People don’t need more recipes.
✨ They need fewer decisions.

Why I Created My Dinner Reset

That realization became my mission: to take dinner off your mental load and give you back calm at 5PM.

I built My Dinner Reset for people like me — the ones tired of overthinking dinner. The ones who don’t need another recipe collection, but a fallback plan for nights when you’re just too tired to think.


It’s not about cooking.
It’s about coping.
It’s about calm.


Today, when I open My Dinner Reset, I know exactly where to start. And that’s what I want for you — calm, clarity, and dinners that finally feel doable.


If dinner feels heavy right now, I hope this gives you a lighter way forward. With My Dinner Reset, it finally feels doable.


With love,

Kelly
