Walk with a Doc on Saturday

Posted on October 17, 2019 by

There’s arguably no better time of year to enjoy a brisk morning walk than fall, and as the weather is (finally) starting to cool down, the Rome community is invited to partake in a heart-healthy walk alongside the Etowah River on Kingfisher Trail.

The last Walk with a Doc of the year is fast approaching and Harbin Clinic Pediatrician Dr. Melissa Davis will lead the group for the final lap on Saturday, October 19 at Bridgepoint Plaza, just off Second Avenue in Rome, at 9 a.m.  Employee participants earn 10 HarbinSTRONG points.

“My team and I are incredibly excited about the opportunity to lead this upcoming health walk to celebrate being outdoors in the beautiful fall weather in the heart of downtown Rome,” says Dr. Davis. “October is a favorite time of mine with many community events and outdoor festivities.  I encourage our youngest patients to start a lifetime of being outdoors for an hour a day, a commitment that changes their lives for the better. Let’s get started at this next Walk with a Doc.”

Dr. Davis will speak to the group about the health benefits of an active lifestyle as well as lead a discussion on tips to keep the community healthy during flu season.

Walkers of all ages are invited to participate and should wear light clothing and comfortable shoes. Registration is not required, and the walking path is stroller-friendly.

Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Posted on October 16, 2019 by

two bowls of slow cooker chicken tortilla soup

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 14.5 ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes (or regular if you prefer less spicy)
  • 1 4.5 ounce can Old El Paso green chiles
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 4 cups cooked and shredded chicken or rotisserie chicken
  • 1 1 ounce packed Old El Paso Taco Seasoning
  • 1 11 ounce can steamed corn, drained and rinsed

Optional:

  • cilantro Old El Paso sliced Jalapenos, low fat sour cream, low fat shredded cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Heat oil over medium/high heat in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. I like mine to be a bit under-sauteed, to keep a bit of their crunch.
  • Once sauteed, add the onion and garlic to a slow cooker over high heat. Add in all other ingredients except for tortillas and garnishes. Stir to combine.
  • Heat on high, covered, for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5 hours.
  • Before serving, prepare the tortilla crisps:
  • In a small saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium/high heat.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into 1/2 inch strips.
  • Cook the strips in batches, about 2-4 minutes or until browned.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the strips and allow to drain on a paper towel.
  • While strips are still hot and before they’ve dried, sprinkle with taco seasoning and salt to taste. Allow to dry completely.
  • When ready to serve the soup, serve garnished with extra cilantro, low fat sour cream, jalapenos, and tortilla strips. Or any of your favorite toppings!
