Dining With Heart, a program which was developed by UPMC Shadyside, is now offered exclusively by the UPMC Health System. Dining With Heart makes it easy for you to find restaurant fare that indulges and satisfies while you watch your calories and fat. UPMC Health System cardiologists and dietitians have teamed up with chefs at some of Pittsburgh's great restaurants to develop recipes that are lower in cholesterol, fat, and sodium, and that taste great, too.
Selections begin with wholesome ingredients and healthy cooking techniques.
Herbs, wine, vegetables, fruits, and defatted stock replace butter, cream, and salt to flavor the delicious creations. In addition, sauces and dressings accompanying these selections are served on the side. You can enjoy such tantalizing choices as grilled chicken breast stuffed with sauteed tomatoes, onions, and mushrooms in white wine. Or broiled salmon stuffed with tomatoes, spinach, onions, and artichokes. Linguini with langoustinos, shrimp, and crabmeat in a basil-garlic marinara sauce is another healthy choice.
