Cooking shouldn't feel like a full-time job.
I love making food that's nostalgic, balanced, and actually doable; the kind that fits into real life without all the dieting rules.
This channel is for anyone trying to eat like a grown-up without losing the fun. Responsible eating, but chaos is always welcome. I make budget-friendly meals, macro upgrades, and a little kitchen mess along the way.
It's never perfect, it's always real, and if it doesn’t taste good, out it goes.
So pull up a chair. Let’s figure out how to eat better together.

👋 Oh hey… it’s me!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi. It’s been a minute! I’ve been working full time (because bills… and also protein isn’t free), and took a little break from making food content while I got my own eating back on track! I've been building some muscle, leaning out a bit, figuring out what feels good… you know, real life stuff.
And the really cool part? It's given me space to think about where this channel is heading... and I’m so excited!! Things are changing… but also staying very much the same around here. 😂
Because let's be honest, I didn’t call this channel Lunch with Lisa for nothing. Expect MORE “pull up a chair at my kitchen counter while we figure it out together” energy. Expect some chaotic, nostalgic, nerdy food adventures coming your way soon!
So tell me, what’s your ultimate nostalgic food? The one that lives rent-free in your brain. 👇
(Mine will always be King Ranch Casserole!)

What meal instantly sends you straight back to childhood? Like… you smell it, and suddenly you’re 9 years old, sitting at the kitchen table, waiting for dinner while TGIF is on in the background.
I’m talking about the stuff that showed up every week whether it was boxed dinners, potluck classics, casseroles, frozen TV dinners, or that one weird thing your grandma always made.
👉 Tell me, what’s the meal? The one that makes you go, ‘Oh my god… THIS was dinner.’
And then, be honest… was it actually good? Or do you just remember it that way?

Just wrapped up a recording session for my new series—and I’m honestly so fired up about it.
It’s called “We Were Sold Lies.”
I’m diving deep into the diet trends, food myths, and marketing manipulation that shaped how we ate… and how we blamed ourselves for not looking like the after photo.
This one’s not a recipe.
It’s a reckoning.
First episode drops soon.
Can’t wait to share this with you.
Let me know below—what’s a diet lie you grew up believing?

Hey guys!
It’s been a crazy last few days without power in DFW! There’s still about 4,000 people in my zip code alone that still don’t have power, including me! So I won’t be making a video for a bit. Already exhausted my two backup videos and will be forced to take another break… as I just threw out my fridge and freezer food today!
But hey, I have a super clean fridge and freezer now! Maybe I can become one of those aesthetic channels. Ha! Who am I kidding?!
I’m trying to look at this as a clean slate and a chance to fill my fridge and freezer with some great options for the summer! Out with the old, in with the new!
No major damage to my car or my house, so I’m thankful to be in one piece, and my son and cat are both safe, too!
Thanks again for being a subscriber, and I will be back making content again once my power is on and I’m able to stock my fridge again!

Hey guys!
I wanted to share a quick update:
I’m working on my next video to post this week & it’s just in time for summer, but I also wanted to share with you my current goal: eating 2100-2200 calories a day to build muscle and get ready for a hiking trip to Colorado. Hoping to share some highlights from that trip in a few weeks!
I’m loading up on protein and lots of whole foods focusing on fruits and veggies as my main carb source. Trying to get lots of fiber, too.
Let me know if there’s anything you’d love to see me cook or make a video on next!

I’ll be making this for brunch this weekend! I haven’t made it in a while and I’m already thinking about the buttery flaky crust and custardy egg filling!
Are you making anything special this weekend?
