Kathy's Kitchen: Coconut Shrimp & Squash

Coconut Shrimp & Squash

What a day! We had an appointment run long (don't they always?), and at almost 5:00 I realized I had nothing thawed or started for supper. Thankfully, Keith came home to help, threw me out of the kitchen (I guess I'm fired, lol), and put together a very tasty meal in no time at all. Shrimp is a great quick-thawing protein. I stocked up a while back when the wild caught was on sale at Costco. He chopped that large UFO-looking squash from our CSA basket, added the thawed, peeled shrimp, coconut oil, little butter, and spices, and baked at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, then broiled for the last 5 minutes. Salad was fresh spinach, tomatoes, and little chopped squash.

About me...

I'm a wife and mom who is learning how to eat REAL foods: clean, whole, and natural foods. This blog exists to share some of the wonderful things we've found, like where to find real food and how to prepare it. We are sharing our recipes and others that we've found along the way. Through this process, we have eliminated as many processed foods as possible. We have removed all grains and legumes, refined sugars and artificial sweeteners, unhealthy fats, and, most recently, dairy. I have lost over 75 lbs since our start, and my husband has lost over 35 lbs. We've seen great health improvements: less sinus/allergy issues, total heartburn relief, increased/more consistent energy, better moods, better stress management, clearer skin, improved digestion, and more. We both feel better than we have in years. We rarely take any medications and are on no prescription drugs. We LOVE the way we eat and never feel deprived. It feels so good to be able to eat without measuring, counting, or weighing our foods. We just eat real foods and as much as we want of it. This is a wonderful experience for us. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to eat, just what has worked for us.
