Nutrition counseling in the age of “staying home”
As a small business owner, seeing clients face to face in an office or going on-site to do programs, most of my work has come to a screeching halt with COVID-19. It feels weird to me to be home so much. I miss seeing clients and helping them navigate their health...
How to prevent the COVID19 ‘spread’
If the anxiety of having to be housebound while watching another news conference about COVID19 is making you eat more, you're not alone. When we're under stress (mental or physical), the hormone cortisol can really do a number on our appetites. Lack of sleep related...

Roasted Brussels sprouts with seasonal fruit, soy sauce and ginger
One of my New Year's resolutions is to reduce food waste. Nothing makes me more annoyed than to toss perfectly good food out. The problem is, that sometimes I buy or cook too much. Truth is, we like to eat here! Today I found myself with too much fruit salad and a 1/2...
Bow tie pasta with pesto, peppers and Parmesan
Christmas would not be Christmas without some form of pasta for dinner. My mother used to make homemade ravioli, but alas, I am not that ambitious! I needed a vegetarian option for a Christmas Eve dinner and this fit the bill. I found a few bags of tricolor bow tie...
Meal Planning 101
I get a lot of questions from clients about how to plan meals. While meal planning is seen as tedious, it's best to start with a few simple tenets. Consider these points first before you start your plan: Do you like to cook or need more convenient type foods? What do...

Lisa Andrews is Nutrigirl!
I’ve paired my love of food, science and people by becoming a Registered Dietitian. My nickname Nutrigirl started about 20 years ago when I needed an email account. Having a painfully long, Italian last name didn’t lend well to an email address, and so Nutrigirl was born. I’d be lying if I said I am “mild mannered”. Outgoing by nature, my friends and clients know I’m not going to sugar coat my nutrition advice. With so much food and health information out there (good and bad), Nutrigirl is your nutrition hero. I’m here to provide sound, nutrition advice, while making sure you are enjoying your food! When I like a health article, recipe or nutrition-related advice, I will stamp it #Nutrigirlapproved.
Snickers
We knew after adopting Snickers in July, 2014 that she was no ordinary kitty. She is a tortoise cat and has “tortitude”. Snickers is a true foody and always in the kitchen at meal time. Despite her candy bar name, Snickers literally reaches for kale, spinach and broccoli when we’re prepping it. Snickers likes a challenge and will seek hydration from the sink, toilet or your water glass. If she likes what you’re making (or eating), she’ll give you the “high paw” and you know your recipe is #Snickersapproved.
