wraps

another cool idea for health-conscious eaters/ the trimmer is wraps. wraps are healthier simply because the wrap is much thinner than bread, hence there aren't as many carbohydrates in it which will turn to fat if you don't burn them all off. bread is also made with yeast, and yeast causes growth....just like how people get beer bellies...i suppose people who don't work out a lot, can get bread bellies too....
so. enter the wrap. the solution to all those yucky yucky problems mentioned above. ideally one would make a wrap with brown flour, so as to make it as fibrous as possible. i think the dough is made simply with flour, oil, water and a pinch of salt. and then you make little round balls (yay and we're back to our active playdough days.) and roll them out with a rolling pin.
the cool thing about wraps is that you can trick yourself into eating lots of salad & healthy stuff by sneaking it all inside this rosy looking 'treat'. one can put anything one wishes into a wrap. lots of salad, avocado, lean meat, pickle, roasted vegetable strips, cheese (obese people like myself should just skip the cheese...oh and the avocado) and you're all set.
well, try it out sometime.....this 'treat' is actually filling, so it can be eaten as a meal. -just in case anyone was scared they were gonna be starving all day to be a healthy eater.
