There’s nothing like comfort foods to warm our hearts and souls: Crunchy fried chicken, eggplant parmesan, carrot cake, potato latkes, pierogi, lasagna, chilaquiles, pecan pie…But our favorite meals aren’t often heart-healthy.

Bridgeport Hospital would like to retool your favorite recipes to reduce the salt, fat and sugar and increase the nutritional value—without sacrificing the taste! Send us your favorite comfort food recipes* (up to 3) using one of the methods on the right. In your submission, tell us briefly why this recipe is special to you and your family.

Transformed recipes will be included in Bridgeport Hospital’s upcoming Heart Smart cookbook, to be published in the coming months. Send us your recipe by March 31, and you will be among the first to know when the FREE cookbook will be available.
