PALEO BREAD

Here’s my complaint about eating Paleo.  There’s no delivery system.  The gurus of “eating like our ancestors” want us to eat meat, veggies and healthy fats.  Fine with me!  But there’s no delivery system to get them into my mouth.  Yes, yes I know.  I can make a great salad and pile it high 20140221-114222.jpgwith veggies and spinach and lean meat.  But this girl can only do so many salads… and trust me, I do a lot of them.  I need BREAD to deliver my turkey to my tongue.  I need RICE to dump my sizzling stir fry onto.  I need CRACKERS to dip into almond butter.  And guess what?  Bread, rice and crackers aren’t Paleo.  Yes, there are companies making Paleo options.  Sorry, I’ve tried them.  I can’t swallow them…. literally.  Well the other day, a miracle happened.  I was making dinner and I had some left over frozen spinach.  I also had some parmesan cheese out on the counter.  I looked at the two and thought, hey, I bet I could combine them and make a delivery system.  So here’s what I did.  I put a bunch of squeezed and thawed out spinach in a bowl.  Next, I dumped a good amount of parmesan cheese in the bowl (by the way, I follow Mark Sisson and he says I can eat Parmesan… so heck ya I do!).  I mixed it together and flattened it out into the shape of two tortillas.  First, I tried pan-frying one with some olive oil.  That didn’t work.  I put the other one on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and cooked it at 400 degrees for about 20-30 minutes.  And that worked PERFECTLY!  It came out just like parmesan crisps only slightly softer.  Next up?  I put a dollop of guacamole on it, some chicken breast and then folded it up. OMG.  Honestly, this is the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time.  I would honestly eat this sandwich over anything offered at Subway.
