Copycat Panera Thai Chicken Salad #SundayFunday

 I think that of all the fast-food options available, the one we enjoy most often is Panera.  I feel that they offer more nutritious food that is not only quick but also colorful, healthy, and delicious.  This Thai Chicken Salad was one of my favorites, but the last time I visited, it was no longer on the menu.

St. Lucian Rum Punch #EattheWorld

We are in the middle of a deep freeze here in Michigan.  We have been below freezing for the past 23 days here in my area.  So when St. Lucia was chosen as our destination this month, my thoughts immediately went to sunshine, beaches, and cocktails......

Celebrations and the Weekly Menu

 Yesterday morning, we celebrated the life of our dear friend and choir member, Eleanor, who passed to eternal life last week at one hundred and one and a half years old.  Eleanor had attended our Christmas choir gathering in December and was still singing with us just 2 weeks ago.  She was an amazing lady, and she will be missed.
