How and why to make kombucha
I feel a little late to the kombucha party, but recently a friend posted that she had “extra scoby” and I jumped at the chance to make my own kombucha. For starters, kombucha is simply black or green tea that has bacteria and sugar added in and is left to ferment. The...

Raising girls in a diet-crazed society
Now that my daughters (12 and 14) are old enough to realize that I counsel people about their food choices, I worry at times about what message they're receiving about their own. What they hear from others is likely not the same as what I teach. Do they think carbs or...

Mediterranean farro salad
This springs’ harvest of vegetables belong in this simple, delicious salad. Farro is an ancient ‘super grain’ that cooks up like steel cut oats, meaning it needs more water than other grains (about 4:1 ratio, liquid to grain). Season it with garlic or onions or...

Dream Dinners Review
Recently, I bid on and won a silent auction at a school fundraiser. I was pretty excited since I: A. don't win much and B. wanted to try Dream Dinners to see what it was all about. The "voucher" said I had to bring a friend, so I invited my friend Chris Glass, who...

There’s something about dairy…
I am a proud dairy consumer and make no apologies for it. While the Whole 30, Paleo and multiple holistic health or other "coaches" may dis dairy, I am not in agreement. Give me yogurt, milk, and cheese please. Consider this- any time you remove an entire food group...

Get the “whole” truth
Though carbohydrates (read starches, grains, breads) have been demonized by the media and diet gurus over the past several years, the truth is- diets containing grains are healthier than those without. Research shows that whole/unprocessed grains are higher in fiber,...

Confessions of a ginger junky
Contrary to popular belief, many dietitians (like myself), do not spend their entire lives prepping and planning meals. While we may peruse the grocery store a bit longer than the average bear, we like short cuts just as much as the next shopper. We’re busy wives and...

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.
