Healthy Living How To

Paleo Flatbread

April 7, 2014 By Healthy Living How To

Healthy Recipe: Paleo Flatbread | healthylivinghowto.com

My name is Sylvie and I may or may not have a bread problem.  Ok, I do.  I do have a bread problem.  You see in Argentina, where I grew up, a meal is not complete without bread.  I'm not exaggerating one bit.  I remember running to the bakery for a bag of fresh bread many times with everyone waiting on me to get back to start dinner.

My uncle used to joke that I would be happy eating only bread for dinner.  He also joked that I had so many health issues we could play bingo with my list of diagnoses.  It wasn't pretty.  Luckily, I eventually found paleo and it saved my life!  And the bread had to go.  Stat.

When I first transitioned my kids, a.k.a. the quesadilla junkies, to paleo I switched their whole wheat tortillas to brown rice tortillas for a couple weeks while desperately trying to find meals they wouldn't make a fuss about at the dinner table.

I made paleo pumpkin muffins and other treats regularly to appease their sweet tooth.  Over time I found it was easier to just introduce completely new-to-them real food than trying to paleo-ify all the staples they had gotten used to.  And I was pleasantly surprised with the results!

That led me to writing my first ebook, The Paleo Survival Guide: Getting Started with Paleo.  I wanted to share how I overcame each challenge during our transition to paleo as a family, trying to find the time, energy and space in the budget for this new way of eating as well as trying to minimize the pushback from the kids.

As much as I like to stick to meat and veg most of the time, every once in a while I love to have a paleo bread option and it doesn't hurt to score major points with the kids!  My requirements for recipes are that it be quick and easy without too many ingredients, healthy, yet delicious!

This paleo flatbread fits the bill.  You can use it as a savory wrap for something like pulled pork, just as a bread almost like naan, or drop the basil and salt and use it as a crêpe and spread with something sweet!  I must admit I'm a bit relieved that if my friends and family visit from Argentina I'll be able to offer them a bread alternative and they'll have 1 less excuse to not give this paleo thing a try.

Tonight I had a conversation with my dad about his experiences with racism. He told me a story about being afraid to hold my mom’s hand in public when they were newly married in 1969. When she died in December 2015, he was still holding her hand. 💜

HAPPY SUNDAY...I don’t know about you, but I’ve been feeling increasingly unsettled. When I ask God, what can I do to make a difference, what I’ve heard over and over, is to just keep showing up. So that’s what I do. You might not think you matter, but I promise you do!!! 💜
