A healthier alternative to bread

Poor eating habits threaten our health. We eat too much sugar and saturated fat, but too little fruit and vegetables and many of us are fat. Eight out of ten do not eat enough fruit and veg, and four in ten are eating too much sugar. 15 percent of the energy intake-calories-from candies, soft drinks, pastries and snacks. Many young people drink four liters of soda a week. Crazy after all!

When I was little, I got candy, chips and soda on Saturdays. There was no question that there would be at home on any other day of the week. and god what I longed for these Saturdays, it was really luxury. Today the kids eat candy and drink soda every day were and many do not know, (for treats) what to look forward to and really enjoy it, is.

I really try to eat healthy, but even if I choose a healthier option, it still has sugar in tomato sauce, for example, the bread. I have also tried me on the carb a few times, but I Get tired, crazy in the head and can not think. No, I love my pasta too much to give it up completely.
However, I skipped the bread. Eat it in very few occasions, do not think I need it in my diet. But sometimes I can be like that super fancy a cheese sandwich with lots of butter. It is not the bread itself that attracts, but more the mixture of everything. I baked the other day bread without flour. I know, it sounds crazy, but it actually goes.

Here's the recipe if you are eager to try. Not only that they are good, they are sick healthy and so they give us a more beautiful and healthy skin.
