Today I had the pleasure of enjoying lunch at Panera Bread thanks to the wonderful Taste Master Program! It’s kind of funny because I meet at Panera with a friend every Monday and Friday morning and rarely do we ever get lunch as it is always so early… I always go in for their coffee though!
I have been a fan of Panera Bread since I first starting going in college and it never fails to amaze me the fresh and healthy options they always have. Today I was torn between so many different salads and soups on the menu, but like most times I go I like to try something new so I went with the Pick 2 menu and got the Garden Vegetable with Pesto Soup and the Roasted Turkey Harvest. They both were superb! The Garden Vegetable is a lighter soup that has just the right amount of tomato flavor mixed with the wonderful rich and hearty vegetables. The Roasted Turkey Harvest salad was FALL in a bowl! Loved the mix of pecans, cranberries, pear and turkey together!
I love that they were both on the lighter side as I am trying to get back to clean eating after the HOLIDAY! I can’t wait to see what’s to come on the winter menu as I am sure I will be back soon! Thanks Panera for the wonderful flavorful and healthy lunch!

SIDE NOTE:
I am so sorry friends I have been leaving you out on the loop about the Mission Half Marathon I just completed!!! It happened last Sunday and because the race was poorly marked I ended up getting lost…long story post to come tomorrow!
This weekend I finished decorating the house and it has now become our Christmas Cottage!!
Love these print outs from Pinterest!
This year we got a small 4ft tree for our fire side room, so we can enjoy by the nice cozy fire!

Cheers to one last night of Holiday!

Well friends, signing off until tomorrow when I am back to work blaring the Christmas Tunes and drinking my Silk Seasonal Nog Latte while driving up the hill!
I am so excited for this Christmas season to begin, it is after all the most wonderful time of the year
Question:
What’s something you are looking forward to this Holiday season?
