lK’s first “lK travels” – showing that YOU can find a delicious, supportive meal WHEREVER you go out to eat!!

Oysters, Lobster, and Swordfish, oh MY!

Hey guys, wanted to make sure you saw the new feature below and to the right; my “news” site. You can now see lK’s travels, as I go from place to place and eat out supportively at different places. It’s (most of the time, though fast food is a bit more difficult) easy to find a supportive option wherever you go. I’m in Providence, RI this weekend at a 3-day summit...

A quick, supportive snack that the kids will LOVE, and so will YOU!

Peanut Butter and Honey-Stuffed Apples

What a quick, easy, and delicious supportive snack! First, take an apple and core it. You can choose to use the regular corer, or the one that cores and slices, you just won’t technically have a stuffed apple that way…or you can put it back together So take your sliced up apple, and either pipe in (or dollop atop), a scoop of Chobani Greek Honey Yogurt, and another scoop of natural...

Enjoy my super-speedy sundried tomato and basil pesto atop spagetti squash with shrimp, chicken or any other protein. YUM!

Sunny Sundried Tomato Pesto

In celebration of our sunny weather, I made some sunshine tomato pesto!! ……Alright, that was a lie. Really, this recipe was a fluke, but a wonderful one! See what happened was, last night when making dinner, I thought I had a MUCH bigger container of basil than I really did. I realized when I was cleaning my basil that I didn’t, in fact, have anywhere near enough. So, I pulled...

A chocolate cherry coconut bar great for snacks!

Chocolate Cherry leanara Bars

In my former non-supportive eating world, there was, again, a bar that I was in love with. It had cherries, coconut, grains and nuts, a fudgy, chocolatey covering, and it was oh so good! Today, I attempted, and succeeded at, recreating a similar bar. I took 1 cup of almonds, 3/4 of a cup of dried, unsweetened cherries, juice of 1/2 an orange 1/3 c of chocolate protein powder (Prograde), 1/4 cup of...

Comparable to the bars you buy in the stores that boast no sugar, gluten, wheat or soy, these lean-ara bars are scrumptious!

Lean…ara bars

Alright so there’s this brand of bars I LOVE, and they boast no sugar, no gluten, no dairy, vegan, etc. etc. My favorite one of these bars is the Lemon Pie kind. So, given that I eat them constantly, I wondered if I could recreate it in my leanKitchen. Now, the beauty of the ingredients list on the back of the package is, you get to see WHAT’S in it, but the downfall is, you don’t...
