Simple Tamale Pie
How have I lived on this earth for so long and not eaten (or MADE) tamale pie? I love Mexican food and tamales are one of my favorite dishes. My husband has made homemade tamales before, but I haven't tried my hand at them. I tend to shy away from recipes that seem...
Prediabetes- should you take medication or not?
Recent statistics from the CDC state that 1 in 3 Americans have pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes is the precursor for diabetes- meaning, left untreated, you may eventually develop diabetes. Diabetes raises the risk of heart disease and stroke, so it's not to be ignored....
Quinoa salad with chickpeas, fresh herbs and lemon tahini dressing
I adapted this salad recipe from cookieandkate.com and it's one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. I'm not kidding. I did a food demo for the Cancer Support Center this past weekend. Since it's summer, I wanted to focus on fresh herbs and what might be in...
Fresh tomatoes with cumin lime dressing and cilantro
Despite disliking fresh tomatoes as a kid, I seek them out now. I've mentioned before that my gardening skills leave much to be desired, but I'm excited to share that a few tomatoes in this recipe were mine! Deer be damned. I love finding road side markets, farmer's...
Chicken and broccoli over egg noodles with Parmesan
Sometimes the best meals I've eaten were the ones that weren't planned at all. I'm known to cook too much in my house. I think it's a trait I inherited from my mother who had to cook for 7 people. Even after my older siblings became adults and were long gone from the...
Tax free weekend – food pun swag!
Bada Bing! If you need a fun tee to wear in between (or during) your next Zoom call, I've got you covered! Take advantage of tax free weekend (Aug 7 through Aug 9) and save a few sheckles on my food pun swag. Did you know part of my proceeds go towards Cooking for the...
Simple Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Balsamic vinegar glaze
If you've shunned Brussels sprouts, perhaps you've never tried them roasted? Roasting vegetables mellows their flavor and provides a crispy, crunchy texture and reduces the bitterness of these tiny cabbages. Brussels sprouts are part of the cruciferous vegetable...
Food pun swag sale- save 20%
I am often asked about how I got started making food pun tees. I'm not an artist and can't draw or paint to save my life. I've always had a silly sense of humor that I credit my dad for. As a kid, I loved puns and still do today. Being in a food field, I seek out...
Tomato cucumber salad with balsamic dressing and basil
I'll admit- I don't have a green thumb. Give me a plant and it will likely be brown within a week. Maybe it's because my schedule in the past was more hectic and I'd forget to water my plants. With COVID19, I'm home and enjoying my deck more often where my basil plant...
Cinnamon peach galette
I am embarrassed to admit it. I've never made a homemade pie with the exception of pizza. But, that's not dessert. Pie is one of those desserts that seems daunting. You have to get the crust just right to fit into the fluted pan and if you mix the dough too much, it's...
White bean salad with kalamata olives and Crunchsters mung beans
I received an interesting food sample in the mail the other day: a product called Crunchsters made out of sprouted mung beans. If you're not familiar with mung beans, they are the tiniest member of the legume (AKA bean) family and can be eaten raw or cooked. Sprouted...
Cinnamon dusted sweet potatoes
While I realize it's summer, I still have favorite foods that I incorporate in my meals all year long. Sweet potatoes are one of them. Despite their name, sweet potatoes have a slightly lower glycemic index than white potatoes, which means they don't raise your blood...

Lettuce Beet Hunger
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.
