After suffering from her stroke and his weight loss journey, Chris and his family have made major lifestyle changes, starting in the kitchen. Along with sharing his family's heart health journey, Chris is here to share some delicious Latin-inspired recipes made with heart-healthy and cholesterol-free ingredients that never sacrifice flavor.
