I recently started to get annoyed with the amount of carbs that are in wraps. I just don't want to be stuffing an extra 8-12 carbs in my diet when it can be avoided, so I started experimenting. Through some horrible failures, I found a good recipe over at EmpoweredSustenance. She found that using more egg in the mixture would allow it to hold together better when baking it. Bingo!

One of the biggest things that I missed when I was on a ketogenic diet was bread, sweet sweet bread. It made life easy when I needed something quick, but it was never in my pantry because it's practically a carb overload. This was one of my go-to recipes when it came to low carb bread, and can be modified to fit any taste.
