Kitchen alchemist, podcast binger, lover of allllll the weird beverages and firm believer that ALL food should be unapologetically delicious.
I grew up in Holland and now call East Grand Rapids home with my first-grader and our Bernese mountain dog, Lillian. I graduated with a BA in marketing from Michigan State. Then attended culinary school at Schoolcraft College, and am a Certified Servesafe Food Manager.
I’m proudly certified in the budding field of Nutritional Psychology and have my Health Coach Credentials from the Institute for Integrated Nutrition.
My creative endeavors inspire and influence my work. Right now that includes pottery, printing, and interior design projects around the house.
“Creative. Delicious. Beautiful Presentation. Clever. Thoughtful. These are just a few words that describe the culinary talents that Katie has provided for us. Every time we invite her to share her savory skills, we are thrilled! From beginning to end, she is thoughtful in her planning, prompt on arrival, prepared, and is a delight to work with. In fact, I can hardly wait until the next event! As one of our guests said — ‘We absolutely loved everything Katie put before us. What a gift she has!’
We could not agree more! Cheers!”

So you can savor the moments that matter most.
Envision a chef-prepared dinner, ready in under 20 minutes — no stress, no hassle. More time for after-school activities, happy hour with friends, or finally trying that Pilates class you’ve been eyeing.
As a mom, I understand just how full life can get. Sometimes finding balance feels impossible.
That’s why my Weekly Meal Service is designed to make mealtime painless and stress-free without compromising on flavor or nutrition.
And as a certified health coach and nutritional psychology specialist, I create weekly menus with whole foods that are tailored to meet your specific dietary needs, introduce new flavors to expand your palate, and support your overall wellness — helping your family eat better, feel better, and enjoy mealtime more.
Every gathering becomes a delicious story.
What if your next party was more than just food?
Whether you’re celebrating a milestone event, hosting an intimate dinner party, or a retreat with friends, I create memorable food experiences that linger long after the plates are cleared.
Enjoy casual family-style vacation spreads, grazing cocktail parties, or elegantly plated fine dining — each experience is uniquely designed and personalized to your distinct tastes, needs, and vision.
From tailored menus to seamless execution, I’ll handle every last detail, including cleanup. My goal is to ensure you get to enjoy the moment and be present with your guests.
“Katie is trustworthy, professional and creative in the menus she sends us each week, she tailors her menus to our taste buds and is always open to suggestions or tweaks we may want to makes. We would highly recommend Katie to others and feel blessed to have her taking such good care of our family and our tummies!!”
“Could not recommend more! They put together a DELICIOUS meal with lots of options. They came prepared and did absolutely everything for us, including boxing up leftovers and cleaning. They also accommodated a gluten allergy and a tree nut allergy very well. Will definitely use them again!”
“I've had the joy of working with Katie for over a year to plan three different dinners for large groups. She is a delight to work with and is an amazing chef. It was easy to work with her to plan the dinners and she offered creative and delicious menu options. I highly recommend Porch Light and look forward to working with them again in the future!”
