Welcome to "EK What About": Embracing Healthier Caribbean Eating
Hello, I'm Kris Bradshaw, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to “EK What About,” a place on Eating Klean where we celebrate the vibrant flavors of Caribbean cuisine with a healthier twist. This blog is not just about recipes—it's about a journey, a rediscovery of food, and a love letter to life itself.
Why "EK What About"?“EK What About” is born from my own life-changing experiences with health and food. It's here to address the "what abouts" of Caribbean eating: What about the flavors we cherish? What about affordability? What about staying true to our roots while making healthier choices? Each post is an invitation to explore these questions together.
My Personal AwakeningMy journey to a healthier lifestyle was not just a choice; it was a necessity. Weighing in at 300 lbs, I faced a stark wake-up call after suffering a major heart attack, alongside serious respiratory and heart complications. These health scares were my urgent signals that I needed to start taking better care of myself, to truly love and respect my body through the food I ate.
What to Expect from EK What AboutHere, I’ll share:

• Transformative Recipes: Delight in healthier versions of beloved Caribbean dishes that I've personally revamped for better health.
• Practical Eating Tips: Navigate the world of healthy eating, from choosing the right ingredients to crafting a balanced plate.
• Heartfelt Stories: Dive into personal anecdotes and shared experiences that highlight our communal path to wellness.
• Nutritional Insights: Gain a better understanding of the food we eat and its impact on our bodies and spirits.

A Call to Heartfelt ActionI invite you to join me in this flavorful expedition. Whether you are dealing with health issues, looking to shed some pounds, or simply aspiring to invigorate your meals with healthful touches, there’s a spot for you here at “EK What About.”
Let’s together turn our diets into acts of self-love and our meals into celebrations of life. Watch for my next post, where I'll some of the major health issues we have in the Cayman Islands and through out the Caribbean.
