Cyclical Ketogenic Diet made me do it!




Caramel Berry trio made by yours truely!

I was on a Cyclical Ketogenic Diet, and my sugar and carbs cravings were up the roof!; because i was at the 4th day of the cycle! However, i was very committed to the diet, and all i did was make this dessert but I never tried it! However, my family did and they loved it! :)
I was in the mood of something sweet with caramel, berries, and cake and i ended up with two!



 what you see above is made, more or less; of the following:
  • 3 types of berries.
  • Filipino chocolate marble sponge cake.
  • English custard.
  • Caramel.
  • Clear jelly.
  • Caramelized Sugar.
All these ingredients can be found at the Sultan Center!

    Green Apples, Smoked turkey & Cottage Cheese! improvised mid-night snack :D




    Some times I like to entertain the idea that I care about what I eat at mid night! :) @@  and try to come up with something to eat of off whats available in my fridge instead of having something from the nearest fast food joint! Tonight, green apples, smoked turkey & cottage cheese were the only items in the fridge that are not expired! Luckily :) my improvised mid-night snack came out nicely! :D

    Chicken Lemon Risotto @ Carluccio's

    Checkin Lemon Rissoto
    Unassuming?
    Think again!
    Thanks to an Italian chef and a sous chef from Myanmar, newly opened Italian restaurant Carluccio's at the Avenues Mall proved to be more than it might initially appear! definitely one of the better risottos in Kuwait! I'd go back for more, but in a month or so.

    PAUL - Savory, Sweet & Bitter !

    Cheese Croissant


    Raspberry frangipane tart


    Black Coffee
    Next time you crave a good, "light", crisp, flaky croissant, i suggest you go to one of the more under rated bakeries in Kuwait; PAUL ! we went there earlier today for a Quick snack/late breakfast before finishing off some errands at the Avenues Mall, and i must say I'm very critical of croissants made any where out of France because most bakeries, no matter how outrageously French their name might sound; make croissants either soggy or greasy or with sponge like consistency!(Ok, that may have sounded a bet far-fetched but nevertheless) PAUL croissants were as close as one can get to the real thing! i ordered one, first bite; ordered a second one right away! it was that good!
    and while your at it, get the Raspberry almond tart (seen above) and wash it down with plain black coffee, i ran out of words as to why you should , its just good! trust me!

    This was my breakfast for quite some time until i was informed by a "Diet Ninja" that it was full of simple Carbs and its not as healthy as i thought it would be!even though the peanut butter was organic and the apple cinnamon jam had no added sugar!
    yeah ! Like that's gonna teach me a lesson ! :)
