Since I’m going back home soon, I’m trying to clean some of the perishable food items I have in the fridge, which means I’m coming up with recipes :D LOTS OF THEM

Today’s recipe is oven baked fish with chunky pesto. All you need is the following:

- A fresh fillet of your favorite fish. I had the skin on
- Fresh Basil
- 1 Clove of garlic
- Pistachios (freshly grounded)
- 1 tbs of olive oil
- A squeeze of lemon or vinegar
- A pinch of salt

Directions:

- Start with preheating the oven. (175 C)
- Roughly chop the basil and mix it with all the other ingredients
- Clean the fillet and place it on a sheet of foil. Spread the chunky pesto on top then wrap it like a tent, not leaving any room to breathe basically :)
- Bake it for 15 minutes and serve it with rice

Suggestions:
- For extra flavor, try adding slices of lemons on top of the pesto
- You can rub the fish with any type of spice like paprika for example

That’s it!

Bon appetit,
Basma.

Talk about guilt free snacks! Pick Yo now serves sugar free and fat free frozen yogurts. They not only taste great, they’re also good for you :)

Been going there on a daily basis to have this guilt free snack ever since it’s launched.

Make sure you try the papaya and the original froyo. They’re both AWESOME!

Bon appetit!

When it comes to burgers, I always look for 2 components: the patty and bun. We can get good buns in most restaurants but a good patty? Only a handful of restaurants are capable of delivering good patties that don’t taste like it came fresh from a cow’s behind or overpowered with spices and hashtag is one of them.

Their burgers taste REAL. No fuss, just burgers served with a side order of paprika fries.

The all kuwaiti staff are super friendly which adds lots of bonus points to the experience.

I’m obsessed with Sriracha sauce (seriously! I take it with me everywhere) and of course I had to try it with their hashtag burger and it turned out to be AMAZINGG!

Can’t wait to go back there again! This month is all about burgers. I’m craving them badly

Make sure you visit Hashtag and try their burgers. That’s what I’ll be doing this weekend :)

(Hashtag has a new initiative (Plus One) where you can donate KD 1 from each meal you purchase to feed the poor workers which I think is super nice since it’s summer and the poor workers are woking hard under the hot sun. The initiative is a collaboration between hashtag and Ms. bibi alayoub)

By now, my dietitian will probably ban me from ever stepping foot at their premises & I made my peace with it. My line of business and dieting don’t go along together so i have 40 days to eat whatever it is i want and gain as much weight as I want and no one is allowed to comment about it. Wohoo!

I’m hoping that I feel guilty soon but no, guilt and I don’t get along too well either and I find it funny! I’m having guilt free fun eating sinful dishes :D

Anyways, back to my latest sinful dish:

Explanation:

Vanilla ice cream on top of rice flakes layer (use any available cereal), topped with bacon bits, maple syrup and more bacon bits!

If you’re not a fan of bacon, substitute it with rock salt bit it’s a MUST TRY!

Tharoriii

Bon Appetit!
