Shelly is an award-winning dietitian and the author of the Skinny Louisiana™ Cookbook series. Born in Louisiana, Shelly started her career developing recipes and conducting food demonstrations marrying the authentic and delicious flavors of Louisiana cooking with principles of healthy eating. These principles are in her cookbooks, Skinny Louisiana Facebook page, and her private practice. Shelly quickly realized not everyone loves Cajun cooking and that is ok! Shelly took this to YouTube and started the channel, Dietitian Shelly, where she focuses on low carb and diabetic recipes. It’s been a wild ride, and you can find her embracing her Cajun roots in her kitchen with her husband, 2 children, and 2 cats, William Tucker and Jefferson James.
