Eat Your Heart Out Cooking School


Learn how to cook the heart healthy way with our registered dietitians. They will show you how to prepare a meal based on a menu that combines flavorful Mediterranean-American foods, the same foods used in our cookbooks. In addition to receiving valuable nutritional information, you will also have a chance to enjoy the heart healthy meal prepared in class. Cost for the two-hour cooking class varies based on menu content. To register,  call 704-384-CARE (2273).  

Family Recipe Makeovers


Eating heart healthy doesn’t have to mean nuts and twigs. With just a few adjustments, you can still enjoy your family’s favorite recipes. One of our registered dietitians will take your favorite family recipes and turn them into delicious, heart healthy meals that the whole family will enjoy. To request a heart healthy recipe makeover, call 704-384-CARE (2273).

Healthy Kitchen Makeover


Developing a heart healthy eating plan can help you lower your cholesterol and reach a healthy body weight, both of which are important in preventing heart disease. Through our kitchen makeover program, we’ll review your blood lipid profile, discuss your current eating habits and show you the foods that will lower your risk of cardiovascular disease. Then we will give your kitchen a “heart healthy makeover” and show you how to stock your pantry with more healthful items. To learn more or sign up, call 704-384-CARE (2273).
