Lentil Bread: Ingredients: Red lentils(soak overnight), 3tbs olive oil, 1Cup of Greek yogurt, pinch of salt, 1tsp of baking powder, 6 chopped dates, and 2 eggs. Blend all ingredients and baked for 30 to 45 minutes at 350′. This is high in protein and low in carbs.

High blood pressure is a silent killer; if it goes undiagnosed and untreated it can lead to poor cardiac health as mentioned in my previous post. During my last PCP visit I found that my blood pressure was elevated and I’ve taken steps towards getting it under control.

I have Increased my physical activities and switched to a plant based diet. I must mention that since the Covid 19 pandemic I’ve gained more than 20lbs. So far I’ve lost 9lbs; not to mention a flatter tummy and less bloating.

My diet now consists of mostly fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and occasionally fish. Above is a Lentil bread that I made; I’ve also made oat flour bread, sweet potato bread, and have found very creative ways to prepare my veggies.

My favorite Caribbean foods are no longer part of my diet…unfortunately. Maybe I will indulge at times!!!! #eggball, #cassavaball, #roti
