OK, now you’re talking about baking. That’s an alley I need to stay out of. I am terrible when it comes to following baking recipes and I’m actually kind of glad about that because I would probably be buying bigger clothes every few months.
It does sound like a delicious recipe though and I absolutely love key lime flavor.

I am now using both low carb diet and doing aerobic exercises to lose weight and have good result. Some say there are side effects but i think they misunderstand the words “low carb”. I believe “low carb” is all about reducing carb intake but not about eating only no carb foods. Finding a balance is very important.
