February is American Heart Month, and we're excited to announce our February guest chefs, Jessie and Presley Bennett.
This inspiring mother-daughter duo is joining the Be Mighty Little Rock cooking series to prepare Chicken Piccata from the American Heart Association’s recipe book. Jessie is a stroke survivor whose life was saved when her daughter Presley called 9-1-1 at just four years old. Together, they share a powerful story of quick thinking, the importance of having a family emergency plan, and why heart health matters at every age.
