I Love Panera Bread!!!

What do you think about when you hear the words Panera Bread?

When I hear Panera Bread, I think delicious food, fresh, natural and organic food, and great prices!!!

When I was in college, Panera Bread was a place to go to eat great food, study, enjoy the quiet atmosphere and use the Wi-Fi!

When I worked in college sports, Panera Bread was the place to go before or after meets where the athletes could eat good, nutritious food without breaking bank!

Now that I have my own family and stay/work at home, Panera Bread is a place where I love to go to get out, enjoy amazing, nutritious food that I feel safe even giving to my little guy, and I still don't break our budget.

As I was scanning the menu at my last visit (this last weekend!), I noticed again how much organic food they actually have on the menu! The shakes are made from Stoneyfield Organic yogurt (my favorite brand!!), there is Organic American Cheese for the kids meals, organic milk and they even have organic apple juice! I also love that all the chicken they use in all of their chicken salads and sandwiches are all-natural, antibiotic-free chicken! I just love that they take such special care with only giving us safe, natural food to choose from!! You don't find many restaurants these days that do that. Most just pick the cheapest varieties and brands of food to use - NOT PANERA BREAD!!!

When I was there this weekend, I tried something new I had never tried before - the Chipotle Chicken on Toasted French. It is made of all natural chicken, applewood-smoked bacon, cheddar, tomatoes, and ancho-chipotle spread. Doesn't that sound delicious??!!! Well, it was and it is now my new favorite meal at Panera Bread - I am so glad I tried something new! I also got the Baked Potato soup and it was also amazing!!! Sometimes, I think you just can't go wrong with any of the meals at Panera Bread! They are all so good!!

Did I get you drooling now and daydreaming about Panera Bread? :) Then head over and check them out either online or at a restaurant near you! They have some great new items on their menu this month (starting 1/12): Thai Chopped Chicken Salad and the Breakfast Power Sandwich!
