Didn't you always know that there were ways to call desserts vegetables? One day I explored ways to use zucchini and found Zucchini Brownies! This was an easy recipe that turned out so yummy, and yes, the three cups of shredded zucchini made the brownies so moist. Zucchini has 0 milligrams of cholesterol, and contains 58% of the Vitamin C you need daily! I mention cholesterol because this year is the first year that I have taken medication to lower my cholesterol, and along with cutting out most meats, I exercise a lot! Put on those shorts and sneakers and get out there and walk, jog, and run! Saturday was so gorgeous that I walked on a local rail trail a little over 6 miles! Yes! I also do 3-5 5Ks per year, and that doesn't mean I win my age group,but I am out there moving, smiling, encouraging others, and running for a cause. By that I mean, my favorite 5K is the Race against Racism in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have finished that 5K in anywhere from 39 to 51 minutes, so you see I don't set records, but I know being active helps all of us physically and mentally!
