Chicken Cacciatore- cross post
I love the network of dietitians I have met over the years through work, school, at workshops and most recently, online. I am all about supporting other RDs in the profession (especially when they share their great recipes)! This recipes comes from Jenna Volpe from...
Instant pot red lentils and vegetables in curry simmer sauce
Red lentils and vegetables in curry simmer sauce As I clean out the pantry as part of my "no buy" January, I've discovered that I have an affinity for jars of curry simmer sauce. My husband and I share the chore of grocery shopping, so my guess is that we both...

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...
Cyber Sale- use code BF20
While I'm not a fan of stores being open on Thanksgiving day, as a small business owner, I have to take advantage of all the Black Friday/Cyber Monday/small business madness. And- there is no shame in shopping in your PJs after a big Thanksgiving dinner! SO- if you...
Mocha Almond Granola with Cinnamon
Anyone that knows me, knows that the way to my heart is through coffee. I love the smell, taste and overall experience of it. So when given an opportunity to cook with it? I said, GAME ON! I am taking part of a recipe contest through @purity_coffee and created a...
Thanksgiving recipe! Spinach salad with apples, cherries & pecans
Good Lord- Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away! There is no good reason why you can't be the hero and bring this beautiful seasonal salad to dinner. This salad starts with spinach, which is a great source of lutein and beta-carotene. These nutrients help prevent...
Food pun swag sale- great for dietitians, chefs and more!
If you're not a dietitian, you'll wonder what the heck FNCE means. It stands for Food, Nutrition, Conference & Expo and is one of the largest (if not largest) food and nutrition conferences in the US. It is sponsored by AND (the Academy of Nutrition &...
Instant Pot Risotto
While the grain-avoiders are eating cauliflower rice, you can be enjoying delicious risotto! My family and I love this Italian favorite, but it was not a recipe I relished making. Traditional risotto requires a lot of "babysitting" at the stove. You have to stir the...

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.
