The ScoopFebruary 2017

Share The Love MonthDear Campus Community,

February is the Month of Love with Valentine's Day in the heart of

February, and, speaking of heart… The American Heart Association

recognizes February as American Heart Month as well as February 10,

2017 as their National Wear Red Day.

To show our support for the great work they do, we want to pass along

the warning signs of a heart attack. These warning signs can be found to

the right of this letter. The life saving research and efforts of the

American Heart Association have probably affected someone you know

in some way. So, on February 10, 2017, you can show your support of

the American Heart Association and those affected by wearing red for

National Wear Red Day.

February also marks African American History Month; a time to

celebrate the accomplishments of people of African descent throughout

American history. African American History Month began in 1926 as part

of an initiative by writer and educator Dr. Carter G. Woodson who

launched Negro History Week in 1926.

Woodson proclaimed that Negro History Week should always occur in

the second week of February —between the birthdays of Frederick

Douglass and Abraham Lincoln.

Since 1976, every American president has proclaimed February as Black

History Month. Today, other countries such as Canada and the United

Kingdom also devote an entire month to celebrating black history.

Have a Great February!

Sincerely

Deb Ernst

Director of Dining Services

Warning Signs of a Heart Attack

Chest discomfort in the center of

the chest that lasts more than a few

minutes, or that goes away and

comes back. It can feel like

uncomfortable pressure,

squeezing, fullness or pain.

Discomfort in other areas of the

upper body and/or shortness of

breath.

A heart attack strikes someone

about every 34 seconds. Some

heart attacks are sudden and

intense, but, most heart attacks

start slowly, with mild pain or

discomfort.

The most common symptom is

chest pain or discomfort for both

sexes.

Heart disease is the number one

killer of women and they are more

likely to experience other common

symptoms as well like: Shortness of

breath, nausea/vomiting or cold

sweats, dizziness, fainting or

lightheadedness, extreme fatigue,

pain in both arms, stomach, neck

and upper back or jaw.

Women sometimes contribute

their symptoms to acid reflux, the

flu or normal aging.

If you have any of these signs,

don’t wait more than five minutes

before calling 9-1-1 or getting to a

hospital.

The PositiveWith Sarah Nicklay MS RD, Chartwells Dietitian

The Protein Story Chances are you know someone that is going paleo, gluten free, low carb, sugar free, whole 30

or some other type of diet where they decrease carbohydrates in their diet and increase protein. There is some merit in these plans, but proceed with caution.

Protein is important for building muscle and maintaining body functions. The average person

needs 50-100 grams of protein a day depending on size and activity level. A 3 ounce piece of

meat contains about 21 grams of protein, and there is protein in many other foods like grains,

dairy, and vegetables. If every meal and snack contains a source of protein, you will be meeting

your protein needs. And you can overdo it! Just like everything else, extra protein gets turned into fat.

Don’t completely discount carbohydrates. Whole grains contain important vitamins, minerals, and fiber and carbohydrates provide fuel for your body during exercise.

Bottom line- eat a balanced diet. If a “low carb diet” helps you eat more vegetables and less junk food, you’re on the right track.

Superfoods: Dark Chocolate No empty calories here. This sweet treat comes with an antioxidant boost. Cacao is rich in

flavonoids, which are thought to help lower blood pressure, cholesterol and reduce other risk factors for heart disease.

Balanced BiteThe recommended serving of dark chocolate is 1 ounce per day. Look for at

least 50% cocoa content.

Protein Power Chocolate Truffle CheesecakeCrust:

1 ¼ cups chocolate graham cracker crumbs, 8 whole sheets

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter

Filling:

2 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

24 ounces 1 percent cottage cheese

8 ounces 1/3 less fat cream cheese, at room temperature

¾ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 egg

2 egg whites

2 teaspoons instant espresso powder

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Fresh raspberries and mint sprigs, serving suggestion Recipe and photo from FoodNetwork.com

Yield 12 servings

1. Position the racks in the lower and upper thirds of the oven. Put a small roasting pan on the lower rack and fill

about 1/3 full of water. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch springformpan with cooking spray

and wrap the outside bottom of the pan with aluminum foil to prevent any leaks.2. Crust: Mix the graham cracker

crumbs, sugar, water, and melted butter in a medium bowl until moistened. Press into the bottom of the prepared

pan. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes, while preparing the filling.3. Filling: Put the chocolate in a microwave safe

bowl. Microwave on medium power until soft and melted, about 1 minute, depending on the power of your oven.

Stir until smooth. Puree the cottage cheese in the bowl of a food processor until smooth. Add the cream cheese,

sugar, cocoa, and flour and continue to puree, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until smooth. Add the egg, egg

whites, espresso, and vanilla and puree until incorporated. Add the melted chocolate and pulse until just combined.

Pour over the prepared crust.4. Put the pan on the upper rack in the oven and bake until just set and the center

jiggles slightly, about 50 to 55 minutes. Turn off the oven and let stand in the oven for 1 hour. Remove the

cheesecake to a cooling rack and run a knife around the edge of the pan.5. Let stand at room temperature until

cooled, about 2 hours, and then refrigerate until well chilled, 8 hours or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for

about 1 hour before serving. For easier serving, slice with a clean hot knife,wiped clean after each slice. Serve each

slice with a few fresh raspberries and a sprig of mint. Nutritional analysis per serving Calories 245; Total Fat 9g (Sat

Joshua Hodgson:

Joshua starting working with Chartwells in August

of 2015. He had never cooked before and has

excelled at the duties he has been given. In a

very short time he has learned to be our grill cook

during breakfast and lunch. He can do this all with

little or no supervision and produces a quality

product each day. He can also work at our

Hearthstone Oven station and prepare pizzas when

needed. He has done many jobs in our kitchen such

as make soups, help with the salad bar, slice meat

and set-up the deli bar, help with entrees when the

prep cook is gone and some baking.

He is always willing to learn and takes suggestions

readily to help improve our service. He is never late

and never misses work.

When he is not at work he likes to play video games,

card games, board games, and going to classic car

shows.
