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...

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...

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...

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo By now, if you read often, you’re aware of the fact that I pre-cook my proteins during the weekend, chunk ‘em up into 2 or 3 ounce pieces, and freeze them in a large baggie to just pull out and use throughout the week. (And for my fellow Warp Speed-ers, this is a modification to a 3x recipe) Add a tablespoon of butter to a pan, and soften onion and garlic...

Like most people, I love Chinese food. Also like most people, I have a really hard time going out (especially to the amazing, expansive buffets) and eating only supportively. Given the fact that they drench, bread, pork fry, tempura, and duck sauce the heck out of everything, it’s really hard to go out and not cave to temptation.
I love, [...]

Chinese "Fake-out"

Like most people, I love Chinese food. Also like most people, I have a really hard time going out (especially to the amazing, expansive buffets) and eating only supportively. Given the fact that they drench, bread, pork fry, tempura, and duck sauce the heck out of everything, it’s really hard to go out and not cave to temptation. I love, love, LOVE beef and broccoli. It’s sooo...
