The ScoopFebruary 2017

Share The Love Month

Dear Campus Community,

Just like that we are into February, we hope that you have had a great start to 2017, we

know that we have. This past month we celebrated the retirement of John Washnieski,

welcomed on a new staff member in the cafeteria, and updated the look of Mondo’s in the

Campus Store. We also participated in the first Taste of the Bay to benefit The Brick food

pantry in town.

February looks to be an exciting month for us as well, we have many specials throughout

the month in both the Campus Store and Cafeteria. We have been working with a new

marketing calendar and this has given us some great new events and specials, we hope that

you are able to join us for multiple events during the month. To help you out with that we will

give you 1 free meal if you load 10 meals onto your Universal Dollars account this month, just

mention the February newsletter when loading your card.

Take Care,

Amanda Tutor

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
