The Path
“I don’t like you going jogging all by yourself in the morning,” Evelyn said over coffee one morning.
“Mom, it’s fine,” Julie said. “Besides I like running when there are fewer people out. It’s just me and nature.”
Evelyn sighed and shook her head. Like father, like daughter. Frank liked going running in the mornings too. She just couldn’t stand the thought of losing Julie too.
The following morning, Julie tied her tennis shoes, patted Baxter’s head, and headed out the door for her morning jog. Mist floated just above the ground. Julie smiled and pulled out her phone to take a picture. She loved morning fog. It was so mysterious…so creepy…so alive.
As she started down the jogging path that wound between the tall pines of Horseman Hollow park, she …
felt happy and she was being salubrious.
She always enjoyed jogging. Often she would plug-in her earphones and listen to several songs she recorded on her MP3. This kept her mind clear of all the many difficult things in her daily life. It was always for a short time, of course, until she had to get back into the daily grind. For today she was going to make the most of her exercise. She was increasing her heart rate as she started jogging faster than her previous stride. She had heard if you slow down some and then speed up some you would be doing a lot more good than keeping at the same pace.
Sometimes, if she was honest with herself, she let things that she saw out of the corner of her eyes, scare her. This morning the fog was rather thick , thicker than she had seen this year. She couldn’t help but notice that things were especially odd this morning. Contrary to her usual morning jog, this morning seemed different. This path had the tallest pines in the area. The woods around the trail were so thick and crowded. If a person was to get off the trail, they would surely be lost. She imagined that if a person wanted to plan a murder, this would be the ideal place to come to. The danger of that thought gave rise to her curious nature and her fondness of the whole place.

Zucchini Pizza Casserole/Recipe Share
Ingredients
4 cups shredded unpeeled zucchini
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 pound ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (15 ounces) Italian tomato sauce
1 medium green or sweet red pepper, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°. Place zucchini in colander; sprinkle with salt. Let stand 10 minutes, then squeeze out moisture.
Combine zucchini with eggs, Parmesan and half of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Press into a greased 13×9-in. or 3-qt. baking dish. Bake 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook beef and onion over medium heat, crumbling beef, until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add tomato sauce; spoon over zucchini mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses; add red pepper. Bake until heated through, about 20 minutes longer.
Freeze option: Cool baked casserole; cover and freeze. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°. Unwrap casserole; reheat on a lower oven rack until heated through and a thermometer inserted in center reads 165°.

Italian sausage or ground turkey sub well in this casserole.
Make it vegetarian by skipping the meat and increasing the veggies. Mushrooms or finely chopped cauliflower (or a combination of the two) taste great.
This packs up nicely for weekday lunches.

Tips to Lower Cholesterol/Information Share
Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by your liver and obtained by eating animal products such as meat, dairy and eggs.
Eating large amounts of saturated fat, trans fat and sugars can raise cholesterol levels.
While “good” HDL cholesterol may be beneficial for your health, high levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol, particularly when oxidized, have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke.
That’s because oxidized LDL cholesterol is more likely to stick to the walls of your arteries and form plaques, which clog these blood vessels.
Here are 4 tips to lower cholesterol with your diet and help reduce your risk of heart disease.
1. Eat Foods Rich in Soluble Fiber
Soluble fiber lowers cholesterol by preventing reabsorption of bile in your gut, which leads to the excretion of bile in the feces. Your body pulls cholesterol from the bloodstream to make more bile, therefore reducing levels.
2. Enjoy Lots of Fruits and Vegetables
Eating at least four servings of fruits and vegetables daily can lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce LDL oxidation, which may reduce your risk of heart disease.
3. Cook with Herbs and Spices
Both fresh and dried herbs and spices can help lower cholesterol levels. They contain antioxidants that prevent LDL cholesterol from oxidation.
4. Avoid Artificial Trans Fats
Artificial trans fats are linked to higher LDL cholesterol levels and an increased risk of heart disease. Recently, the US banned their use in restaurants and processed foods, making them easier to avoid.
Avoid ingredients that increase LDL cholesterol, like trans fats and added sugars, to keep cholesterol in healthy ranges.

Sugar Free Nutella Copycat /Recipe Share
The Recipe for Sugar Free Copycat Nutella
This is actually a lot easier than you may think it is.
What you will need to make this.
Roasted Hazelnuts Skinned–1 Cup
Canola Oil–1 Teaspoon
Your choice of Sugar Alternative -1 Tablespoon equivalent to sugar Sugar Free Chocolate Chips–1/2 Cup
or
No sugar added Cocoa Powder 1/4 cup
Greek Yogurt–1 Tablespoon
How to make this recipe.
If hazelnuts are not roasted and skinned, do so by roasting them in a 350 oven for 15-18 minutes.
Allow them to cool and then remove the skins
Place your chocolate chips in a microwave safe cup and melt them in the microwave.
I set my microwave on medium high and melt in 20 second increments stirring between increments.
You can melt them over a double boiler if preferred. Don’t forget to stir. In a food processor, process your hazelnuts and oil together for about a minute or until they become somewhat pasty.
Add your yogurt, sugar alternative and the cocoa (if using cocoa) to the food processor and continue to blend.
You will need to stop the processor a few times to scrape the sides to ensure that everything is blending together.
If using chocolate chips, add your melted chocolate chips (if using chocolate chips) and pulse your food processor a few times until blended.
However, if you are using the cocoa method you can skip this step.
