From the Firehouse Recipe section of www.local830.org:

Heart Healthy Escarole & Bean Soup

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 bunch fresh escarole - chopped or torn
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 1 quart of College Inn Lower Sodium Chicken Broth
• 2-3 links of lean turkey sausage
• 1 can Progresso cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 4 TBSP olive oil
• fresh ground pepper and parmesean cheese to taste

Directions:

• In a large stock pot, sautee garlic in the olive oil until slightly browned. Add the escarole and sautee for about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, beans, cooked sausage and some parmesean cheese and simmer until the beans are warmed through, about 5-10 minutes.

When serving, add fresh ground pepper to taste. Serving with ciabatta bread is delicious, but it adds some empty calories and carbs. Recipe as listed serves 2-3 firefighters. Adjust the recipe accordingly for larger groups.

Seth I think this is a good idea, with many LODD being heart related problems, why dont you open a section for good and welfare or health and welfare. where healthy recipes or any good recipes and work out ideas, etc can be posted. Just thought we all preach it not lets take a little action here and promote some of it.

Definately for it, I need to loose about 100 lbs. and start eating healthy.

Now if we can just hire someone like Richard Simmons.............JUST KIDDING!!!!! Relax!!!! Joking!!!!!!

This is a good start to promoting a healthier lifestyle for firefighters, and cutting back on the LODD from heart related problems. Too scary. My father had a Massive MI at 46, had to be shocked and revived. Just scares the crap outa me.

Lets promote this section.
