It's been an informative Monday for the Eat Well, Live Well Pike County website. Here are the highlights:
--NEW PAGE--There is a new page available on the site now entitled "Spots to Exercise in Pike County". Here you will find the locations and times for indoor walking in the county. Be sure to take advantage of these free opportunities for exercise during inclement days. No excuse now! Stay tuned to this page for upcoming interviews with local exercise coaches--there's something for everyone locally.

FYI SESSION ON E-CIGARETTES OR VAPOR CIGARETTES--The committee received some excellent information from Martha Caine, Director of Healthy Communities Partnership Tobacco Free Initiative ( http://smokefreecommunities.com). There are some quite eye-opening facts on this website that tells more about the "new" cigarettes that are flooding the market. Ms. Caine is an excellent speaker and will share a very informative presentation to a large variety of groups, be they elementary school-aged children, middle school, high school, or adult groups. The information she shared today dealt with the concerns that children are being lured into using e-cigarettes. Names of the nicotine oil, i.e. Scooby Doo, Grape Freeze, etc., are most certainly marketed to younger adults and kids. Further, with no current regulation, these oils are being found to be filled with a plethora of additives that are not body-friendly. Please take the time to look on the website and educate yourself and your children (or grandchildren) about these items.

A borrowed recipe from Facebook--This has been quite the hit, so thought it could be shared with all of you, too.
Avocado Dressing (to replace Ranch Dressing)
In the blender or food processor--1 large avocado diced, 2 t. fresh lemon juice, 1/2 c. Greek yogurt, 1 t. hot sauce, 1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil, 2 garlic cloves (diced), and 3/4 t. salt.
