Why We Are Loving This Recipe

In January my weight is down and my energy levels are up. I did not go full-on with a Ketogenic diet but mostly kept it towards Low GI. But since the last few days, I am trying to go low carb and largely have been successful. This is big for me as I have attended quite a few weddings and parties, where I ate regular food but still balanced it on other days.

At home, I mostly cooked Keto recipes for myself and mostly healthy for the family. So, do not worry if you are not into low carb recipes, you will keep getting the regular recipes on the blog.
