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...
Sauteed Shrimp with Spinach and Anise
If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm a simple gal with simple taste. Basically, I want healthy food that tastes good, but doesn't take forever to create. I came across some frozen shrimp while grabbing ice earlier and it put me in the mood for seafood. I'm a fan of...
Instant Pot Stir Fried Chicken & Vegetables
I haven't posted a recipe in a while, but I have an excuse! I've been writing a cookbook about gout! It's been a lot of fun to find recipes that are low in purines (a compound that increases uric acid in the body, which can precipitate a gout attack), in addition to...
Let your plate prevent cancer
I had the opportunity earlier to talk with Dan Wells of Fox 19 about cancer prevention. It's awfully hard to cover all the foods you should eat to prevent cancer (and why) in 3 minutes. So, below is a list of anti-oxidants in commonly eaten foods and why you should...
Cacao tea review
Step aside hot chocolate. There’s a new brew! Do you ever get that mid-afternoon craving for something sweet, but don’t want to eat junk food or grab more coffee? There’s a new brew in store for you! I recently partnered with Cacao tea to try this delicious,...
Brace yourself for school lunch
Gone are the days of Barbie lunch boxes and Dora thermos. I have teen age girls now. In 12 years of being in school, they have never bought their lunches. Not because I didn't let them. I was lucky that they typically liked what I packed in their lunch and never had...
Bada bing!
I may not be wild about super muggy weather that makes my hair big and frizzy, but I love the season of summer. I love that my girls are not on a super strict schedule and we can be outside more often. I also love that I can wear a different tee shirt every day....
Tropical fruit salad with lime dressing
If you've ever had a conversation with me or have heard me speak, you'll recognize that I really hate food waste. Brought up by 2 parents that lived through the Depression era, you didn't leave a pea on your plate in my house. Did you know that 40% of the food in the...
Mediterranean tomato & spinach salad
I admittedly have a brown thumb and am not known for my gardening skills. We have minimal sun coupled with lots of deer, so the stars do not exactly align for a garden. But, if you give me a few crops, I'll make you dinner! I picked up a basil plant at my local...

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.
