Since the weather wasn’t too frigid outside, Ryan and I decided to take Sadie for a 2.5 mile walk around the lake by our apartment, stopping at Panera halfway through for some dinn-ah! (Gotta love Panera gift cards! 😀 )
Posin' by the Lake
You Pick Two
Sadie was obviously not allowed in Panera, and it was too chilly outside to eat on the patio, so we brown-bagged our grub and brought it home to continue our DogWalkDinnerDate in our cozy lil’ kitchen.
Brown Baggin' It
I always order the You Pick Two option and generally select either a half-salad or half-sandwich to enjoy with a hot bowl of Panera’s tasty soup. Today I opted for a half-sandwich with my soup, and selected the Smokehouse Turkey panini (hold the bacon).
Smoked turkey breast, smoked bacon, smoked cheddar & sun-dried tomato ale mustard grilled hot on our Artisan Three Cheese bread.
Smokehouse Turkey Sandwich
Artisan three cheese bread = phenomenal.
After debating between several different kinds of soup, I ultimately suck with the ol’ fallback: chicken noodle. You can’t go wrong!
Chicken Noodle Soup
What do you typically order at Panera?
I love hearing what people order at different restaurants. It always inspires me to try something new!
Ryan and I requested apples instead of the bag of chips and it was the perfect touch of sweetness at the end of the meal.
An Apple a Day...
Of course that wasn’t enough of a dessert for me, so I popped open a cup of my obsession.
Jello Dark Chocolate Mousse
The perfect way to end a meal. 🙂

I LOVE their mediterranean veggie sandwich. The bread it comes on is good, but I also love it on their whole wheat. Their black bean soup is yummy too!
I love their salads, but really love their honey dijon chicken!!
I just bought the Mousse tonight. Can’t wait to try tomorrow. 🙂
I used to always get their broccoli and cheddar soup in a bread bowl. Delish!
I always get the black bean soup and BBQ chicken salad with a whole grain baguette. HEAVEN! 🙂
I like Panera too! I almost always get the You Pick 2 and order the chicken noodle soup with 1/2 a salad or 1/2 a turkey sandwich (without cheese). I’m a creature of habit but agree it’s good to “get outside your box” every once in a while!
I also usually order their Smokehouse Turkey Panini! I also like their one with buffalo mozzeralla and tomatoes (not sure what it is called)….and in my opinion all their soups are great:)
I love the fuji apple salad at Panera! soo yummy 🙂
OMG Julie! I won 😀 haha, I’m so excited! Now I get me some free stuff too 😉
I’ve looked everywhere for that Jello obsession of yours, and clearly Canada has nothing exciting in terms of food 🙁
Love the Garden Vegetable soup at Panera! I usually pair that with a half fuji apple salad. Delish!!
I heart Panera! I wish there was where I live. I always get the Pick Two combo with the MediterraneanVeggie Sandwich (it’s AMAZING) and the chicken noodle soup. Yum!
I am now craving their french onion soup! Looks like I know what I’m having for lunch today! 🙂
I can’t help but notice how much you enjoy the Jello Mousse cups. I am obsessed too!! I like to put them in the freezer for a couple of hours before I eat them. It is like eating a tiny cup of chocolate ice cream.
