Lime and pepper marinated chunks of fish topped with a yummy lime broccoli slaw!

Trish’s Delicious Fishes

My good friend Trish was telling me last night about the fish tacos she made for dinner. I wanted to try it so bad, so I asked for her recipe. I took the zest and juice from one lime, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1 hot sliced fresh red pepper, 1/4 c. chopped & mixed green onion and cilantro (fresh from the garden!) and mixed it up well. I poured it into a large freezer bag over 1 lb. of cod (she used...

The babies and I take a trip to the Ocean, and get lK inspiration along the way!

Top 5 lK Seafood Tips

Hey guys! Just wanted to share a quick post. Maybe not food related (aside from the fact that I had an AWESOME lobster roll : ), but I wanted to share with my readers a wonderful day with my children, as well as some seafood tips! First of all, here’s me and my kiddo’s on the boat, headed out onto the Atlantic Queen II, on the Atlantic Whale Watch in Rye, NH: So did we see any whales?...

A beautiful salad, reminiscent of scallops wrapped in bacon

Bacon-wrapped Scallop Salad

Have you ever had Scallops wrapped in bacon? Aren’t they DELICIOUS?! I love them, but the only problem is, they’re typically drenched in maple syrup, and that’s not good for a supportive diet! So I took 1 tablespoon of olive oil, drizzled in a skillet, and slowly sauteed 2 cloves of chopped garlic. Then, I added 1 and a half pounds of small sea scallops, covered the skillet,...

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...

Delicious crunchy coconut shrimp with a beautiful pineapple dipping sauce. Mmm

Hallie's Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Sauce

My friend Hallie was talking about her coconut shrimp the other day, and it sounded so good I had to try it! So simple, I pre-heated my oven to 425 degrees, rinsed and paper-toweled a pound of cooked shrimp, and poured on a plate some unsweetened, shredded coconut. Next, dip the shrimp and press coconut on both sides. Put on a cookie sheet, and bake till the coconut is crunchy and slightly browned...

Spicy Shrimp Stir-Fry

Spicy Shrimp Stir Fry

So I made some stir fry to top my delicious lK Lo-Carb RICE, and it was so good that I just had to share! First, I covered the bottom of a heavy-bottomed skillet with olive oil. While that was warming up, I chopped 3 cloves of garlic, pre-sliced mushrooms (prepped-for-me veggies are a huge time-saver!), and peppers (I had orange ones on hand). I put them all together in a pan, and sautéed, uncovered,...

Delicious, decadent Shrimp, Lobster, and Scallop Scampi. Perfect, supportive, and delicious!

Lobster, Shrimp, and Scallop Scampi

Scampi, one of my favorites. While it does have it’s variations from place to place, one thing remains: it typically is shrimp broiled in garlic and butter. A lot of the time, it’s served over pasta. The reduction/sauce usually also contains wine, which I’ve omitted from this recipe. So to cut corners are far as time went, I bought 1 lb. pre-cooked and shelled lobster (my favorite!),...

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...

Super fast weeknight cod topped with fruit salsa, ready in literally seconds!

Lightening Fast Weeknight Tropical Cod

If you’re anything like me, you’ve only got a couple of nights a week to get errand-type things done, am I right? Tonight was my grocery shopping night, but I stayed late at work, then ran a couple of errands, then grocery store last. Looking at my clock and seeing it was already past 7PM, I knew I was going to have to do something, or risk eating something unhealthy and unsupportive. ...

A delicious preparation for a strip steak with garlic butter and shrimp topped with melted cheese and served with a side of steamed broccoli.

Garlic Butter Steak and Shrimp

The other day at a restaurant, I had a sirloin strip steak with garlic butter and shrimp, then topped again with a parmesan cheese, and broiled till the cheese melted. Sirloin Strip Steak topped with shrimp and cheese It’s such a delicious and QUICK meal to recreate! First up, take your sirloin steak (or whatever kind-the better the quality, the better your dinner will be), and grill or broil...
