Here's a great bread to try for wraps: lavash (at Walmart it's a "Joseph's" brand)
Betty and I were talking at work one morning about the food we eat and don't eat, and she mentioned that she makes up some "grab & go" wraps for the week with greens/sprouts, lean meat & a little of her favorite cheese. Wraps aren't one of my favorites because the ones I've tried are too hard and you end up with more bread left after you eat the sandwich and then it just gets thrown away. Anyway, she told me about the lavash bread she buys at the deli at Walmart (never heard of it before) and made up some to bring in to work. It's delicious! It's super soft and she cuts each flat bread in half so there's not any waste (and you get twice as many sandwiches out of one package!). It rolls up really easily and is just enough to hold all the sandwich innards in place. (It's so soft that you can't load it up too much either (as my youngest son found out), or it just falls apart.) It's made of flax, oat bran and whole wheat - no cholesterol, high in protein and low in calories. After doing some googling, the bread is Armenian/Turkey in origin and Jillian Michaels also promotes it in one of her books. (not that the last two items really matter but just some extra facts to throw in for the heck of it--) Anyway, it's something new to try if you're looking for an alternative to regular bread for sandwiches.

Barb, read a great quote on another blog recently (theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com) - it's become my new mantra:
"At any given moment you have the power to say: this is NOT how the story is going to end".
Keep up the good work!
