hello.
Nice to meet you — I’m Mandi.
I’m a writer, TV host, nutritionist, travel advisor, storyteller, and mom who believes some of the most meaningful parts of life happen around the table, on the road, in the pages of a good book, and in the ordinary moments we almost miss.
Nosh & Nurture has grown with me through many seasons. What began as a place to share gluten-free and dairy-free recipes has become a home for intentional family life — food, homeschool, motherhood, faith, travel, creativity, and the little traditions that make everyday life feel special.
I’m happiest when I’m creating something: writing, singing, filming, planning a themed family night, testing a recipe, booking a trip, or sitting down with my family for a cozy evening at home. Around here, you’ll find a little bit of all of that.
My faith in Jesus is at the center of how I live, love, heal, create, and raise my family, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this corner of life with you.

A little more about me
I’m a former recording artist who spent years touring and performing before eventually stepping into writing, media, food, and family life. I earned my journalism degree and went on to work as a managing editor for multiple Beverly Hills–based fashion publications — including the surreal joy of seeing my work on shelves at Barnes & Noble.
My own health and fertility journey later led me back to school to study nutrition and whole-body wellness. That chapter eventually helped shape Nosh & Nurture and my cooking show, The Clean Plate with Mandi, where I share allergen-friendly, family-friendly food.
Today, I’m also a professional travel advisor through my company Platinum Key Travel, with Mini Ears Travel as my Disney-focused travel brand. I love helping families plan trips that feel exciting without becoming exhausting — from Disney vacations to cruises, Hawaii, Europe, and beyond.
And somewhere along the way, storytelling found its way back into everything I do.
I’m developing MAVEN, a feature screenplay close to my heart, while also building Storybook Evenings and other creative family traditions centered around food, stories, imagination, and connection.

About our family
My husband and I are raising our two children, Grey and Lexi, with the hope that they always feel deeply loved, known, and safe.
We homeschool, cook together, travel whenever we can, read lots of books, make a big deal out of ordinary nights, and are always looking for ways to slow life down enough to actually enjoy it.
I’m still a California girl at heart and will probably always feel most myself near the ocean.
Travel gives me energy, home gives me grounding, and creativity has always been part of who I am.
These days, I’m less interested in chasing a perfectly curated life and more interested in building one that feels meaningful from the inside.
I’m so glad you’re here.
You can find me most often on Instagram at @noshandnurture, where I share the everyday chapters as they unfold. I’d love to have you stay awhile. 🤍
