Moja Monday
Hi, blog friends! Happy Monday! 
I needed to finish my Health post before work today, so I wasn’t able to fit in a morning post. But, I am happy to report that I ate a big piece of wedding cake and grabbed an iced coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts for breakfast this morning. A breakfast of champions for sure! 
Lunch
Today’s lunch was a little more nutritionally sound than breakfast: Stonyfield Oikos Greek yogurt with MojaMix, cherries, and a ginger snap Larabar from the hostess with the mostess.
In my customized Carrots ‘N’ Cake Mix were lots of goodies. It was more like trail mix than cereal because it was packed with dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate-covered coffee beans.
I found a table outside in Harvard Yard to eat my lunch. It’s a beautiful day in Cambridge! 
CNC MojaMix up close and personal…
Boston Blogger Cocktail Party
Kath is coming to Boston and we have planned a special blogger event on Friday night at 8PM. Please send Kath an email for more info: KathEats at Gmail.com

So jealous you get to eat in Harvard Yard!!

I love fresh cherries! Especially in July when they are in peak season
My mini-goal for the week is to FINALLY clean my apartment and strength train x 2.

We have been loving these lately and you can do them on your indoor grill!! Turkey Burgers: 1 pkg. lean ground turkey, 2 green onions, 3 roasted red peppers, 1/2 c. feta, some fresh spinach chopped (or frozen), 2 cloves crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Grill them – serve on salad greens!!
Kelly — July 13, 2009 @ 1:25 pm
That is some packed looking cereal. I am equally grateful for the good weather. I ate my lunch outside today while enjoying a book and was so satifsied by the weather that I actually needed less food to feel full because I was eating so leisurely.

I have the most DELICIOUS recipe! It is called Goat Cheese and Chive Garlic Bread- I made this yesterday for a bbq with my fam and everyone devoured it!
Need:
1 loaf french or italian baguette (or boule)
5oz goat cheese
1/2 cup butter (room temp)
2 tbsp minced chives
minced garlic (1/4 -1/2 c.) or 4 garlic cloves
S&P to taste
Preheat oven to 475. Stir together butter and goat cheese until well blended, then stir in the garlic and chives with salt and pepper to taste. Halve the baguette crosswise, then halve each piece horizontally. Spread cheese mixture evenly over the bread. Cut bread in 2″ wide strips, cutting about halfway through the bread to make serving easier. Set the bread pieces cheese-side up on a baking sheet and bake about 5–7 minutes. Enjoy!
NOTE: This recipe is by no means “low-fat” but it is scrumptious!

My mini goal this week is to take a hot bath after dinner each night to unwind. I know it sounds simple but lately, I have been going full steam ahead and really need to remember that down time is an important part of self care.
brandi — July 13, 2009 @ 1:49 pm
mini goal for the week: don’t freak out. I have so much going on before we leave for Honduras, plus Sunday is a very sad anniversary for me, so it’s going to be a tough 2 weeks.
yay for beautiful weather! and I love that you had cake for breakfast
Shelly — July 13, 2009 @ 1:52 pm
I’ve already taken care of today’s mini goal. I found out my credit score and talked to my insurance about what I have to do once I buy a new car- which will be happening soon.
I want to give you my seafood spaghetti recipe, but I need to go home and look it up. I’ll post back later if I remember. 
Becci — July 13, 2009 @ 1:52 pm
I love dessert for breakfast…especially blueberry pie!!!
Pam — July 13, 2009 @ 1:54 pm
Of course, your MojaMix had choc. covered coffee beans in it….he he! good choice! In fact, I just had some nut mix with some of those in it too …..the best!
Have fun,
Pam

My goal this week is to not overeat like a madwoman at all of my family events this week. My nephew’s bris is Wednesday, and we have a big party Sunday, and I want to enjoy myself and not leave with a belly ache!
Your MojaMix looks so yummy, I won one on Facebook, I can’t wait to get it.
Paige@ RunningAroundNormal — July 13, 2009 @ 2:48 pm
That moja mix looks awesome! I have to jump on this wagon sooner or later. My Monday goal is to try to get adequate rest! I have the stomach flu, and had to take a day off of work.
Sarah — July 13, 2009 @ 2:52 pm
My Monday goal is to fit in a work out every day this week
Anna — July 13, 2009 @ 3:14 pm

Melissa — July 13, 2009 @ 3:57 pm
My goal for this week is to be moved out of my apartment and into my the new apartment that I’m sharing with my boyfriend! Exciting, but stressful nonetheless.
Menden (SkinnyMenny) — July 13, 2009 @ 4:09 pm
I love reading everyone’s mini goals! Mine is to eat whole, real (non junk) foods to “detox” a little after a week on vacation!
Megan — July 13, 2009 @ 4:22 pm

Yay Monday mini goal time!! Mine is to eat clean and no ice cream/froyo. I’m all about everything in moderation, but I know in the coming weekends its gonna be insane! So I need a few days of clean eating
Maria — July 13, 2009 @ 4:30 pm
My goal this week is the same as last week, up my calories, fat and protein. I am trying to gain weight the healthy way! Joy:)

I miss Harvard! Take me back! Work is hard
haha.. seriously makes me appreciate school.
Kathy (Moving Beyond Perfection) — July 14, 2009 @ 12:05 am
I am also surprised I’ve never spotted you sitting out on those tables since you’ve eaten there a few times (based on your blog) and I’ve had class in Boylston so many times!
Caroline — July 14, 2009 @ 12:07 am
My oh-so-lofty aspiration for this week is to try that chia pudding everyone has been raving about for so long!
tiny giraffe shop — July 14, 2009 @ 6:17 am

Lauren — July 14, 2009 @ 7:16 am
Hey Tina, I just concocted a tasty and healthy recipe for chili cheese fries… let me know what you think!
Stacy (Eating To Live Love Laugh Tri) — July 14, 2009 @ 8:35 am
Is it weird that I want to pick all of the goldenberries out of your Moja Mix?! I love those things and just ran out. I need to go stock up. Thanks for the reminder! : )
