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.

The Sunday Funday Bloggers are sharing recipes containing Almonds today.......

Chocolate Almond Truffles Inspired by Vianne

I just finished Vianne, the prequel to the best-selling novel and Oscar-nominated movie, Chocolat.  You do not need to have read Chocolat before reading this novel; however, you will want to read it after reading Vianne.

 

I was sent Vianne by Joanne Harris by Megan Beattie of MB Communications.  I agreed to write an honest review of the novel.  I was not compensated monetarily.

Pesto alla Trapanese #MoviesandMunchies

This pesto, originating in Sicily, certainly does not get the attention it deserves.  The Sicilian version of pesto has a fresh tomato base, is full of herbs, and uses almonds instead of pine nuts. It is delicious!!!

I was inspired to make this Pesto after watching Nonna's for our Movies and Munchies group this month......

Almond Poppyseed Bread #BreadBakers

This month's Bread Bakers is being hosted by Mayuri of Mayuri's Jikoni.  Mayuri asked us to make a bread containing seeds.  She then shared that botanically seeds include cereals, legumes, nuts, cocoa beans and coffee beans.  Who knew?  Mayuri....that's who.

I decided to share a quick bread that contained Poppy Seeds.  It also contains almond extract so I guess that means it double qualifies if nuts are considered seeds.

I like this recipe because it only makes one loaf.  I know, I know....quick bread freezes beautifully so it shouldn't matter if I make more than one loaf.  That is assuming that I have any will power, which I don't.  It is safer for me just to make one loaf of something this delicious.  Then I am not tempted to keep eating until there is nothing left but the crumbs.

This bread certainly didn't last long.  I served it up with coffee on the first day that the carpenter came to work on our remodel.  He had 2 pieces with his coffee in the morning and then another piece after lunch. I think he liked it.
