It’s that time of year for our annual Christmas giveaway! But this year I’m not only giving away a Vitamix, but also a signed copy of my Healthy Meal Prep cookbook!

It’s always so much fun for me to give these blenders away and brighten someone’s day. And today, one reader will have a chance to win my most prized kitchen tool — the Vitamix A3500 (read more about it here)!
Plus, you’ll be able to use this Vitamix for several of my favorite recipes in my meal prep cookbook! That includes recipes like my creamy white gazpacho, banana berry nice cream, all the hummus(s) you can imagine, and yes, even a dessert – my key lime tartelettes!

Hi Lisa,Â
I just want to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed learning to love cooking. I am in my early 50’s, single, and have my whole adult life used the excuse “why bother cooking for just one person “. I watched your video on youtube a few months ago, and have been meal planning ever since. Your recipes have been instructive and not too difficult to follow. Your cookbook is great, and I do enjoy the storage tips and photos very much. The lemony lentil soup is GREAT. Thanks so much. I live in Roanoke, Texas.Â
Hello, Lisa. I live in Colorado Springs, CO. Congratulations on the publication of your new cookbook. It looks absolutely lovely, just like you.

I’m grateful to have found you through your appearance on GMA. Â Living with food allergies, your meal planners have truly been a life saver. Â Being able to prep healthy and nutritious meals for the whole week, with little substitution, and half the time in the kitchen has been amazing. Â Thank you!!

I’m new to Ms Lisa and her recipes but I’ve become a fan after just a few meals that I utilized (her cabbage soup was in a word, scrumptious) !
Thank you for your assistance 😊

I found your YouTube channel looking for a healthy banana bread recipe for my daughter, and I got hooked!!! I’ve been cooking from your page ever since. I have cooked every zucchini recipe. Plus your amazing and super easy thanksgiving turkey is the recipe I follow every year!! Thank you for sharing all these amazing recipes.

Our family is sendeing gratitude to you for keeping us healthy and non-stressed. We live in Manhattan Beach, California. Much appreciation!Â
I can’t wait to read your book! I work at a library and requested we buy it. We have free community programs that focus on nutrition so I love materials that promote a healthy lifestyle. Thank you for the work you do!
I’ve been following you for a while and love all of the healthy but still flavorful alternatives. My husband is gluten-free, and I have several other friends & family with various diet needs. My favorite, so far is the chicken and rice with lemon. So yummy!

Lisa’s recipes are always a hit! From simple family dinners for just the two of us to dinner parties for eight, her healthy and yummy dishes never disappoint. As a bonus, her recipes are easy to follow and call for readily-available ingredients.
