ARAMARK Health and Nutrition Tips for 2006

Health and Nutrition Tips for 2006; ARAMARK Offers Suggestions for Staying Healthy in the New Year

PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 9, 2005-- For most Americans, nutrition and exercise goals will top New Year's resolution lists for 2006. ARAMARK, one of North America's largest food and vending operators, presents health and nutrition tips for helping you stick to your resolutions:

Drink More Water

Although most people understand the benefits of water, most of us still don't drink enough of it during the day. Water has zero calories, zero caffeine, zero carbs, and is the perfect beverage to curb your appetite and reduce hunger cravings.

Snack Wisely

Many people find that eating a couple of small snacks throughout the day helps them to make healthier choices at meal time. At the office, many healthy snacks can be found in vending machines such as low fat granola bars, pretzels, trail mix and baked chips.

For the Rest of the List

Today's Recipe: Brie Crostini with Cranberry Salsa

We like this one because the brie and salsa can be made ahead and set out once guests arrive.

Makes 8 to 10 servings

Ingredients:

Salsa:

2 cups fresh cranberries
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 small red jalapeño pepper, seeded and minced
1/3 cup sugar
pinch of salt
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest, minced
1 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and finely minced

Brie Mixture:

3/4 pound brie cheese, room temperature
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
black pepper, to taste

1 baguette, cut into 24 or so pieces
olive oil

Preparation:

Process the cranberries in a food processor until very finely chopped. Place in a glass bowl and add the green onions, jalapeño, sugar, salt, cilantro, lemon juice, zest and ginger. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours. Stir occasionally.

Remove most of the rind from the brie and process with the cream cheese and pepper. Process until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature just before serving.

When ready to serve, place sliced baguette on a sheet pan that has been lightly coated with olive oil. Brush the tops lightly and bake at 350 until just toasty. Spread with the brie mixture and top with a bit of the salsa.
