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.

Life is Returning to Normal so Here is the Weekly Menu

Frank was released from the hospital for the third, and hopefully last time, this past Monday.  It was nice because he got to see Chuck before he left early Tuesday morning.  

Since then life has been a whirlwind of making doc appointments, setting up home care and fielding phone calls.  Add to this that the Teen is starting a new semester in school and the bowling team has resumed and I have been pretty busy.

I didn't have a menu made for this past week but I did have lots of recipes and ingredients that I had gotten for prior menus that never got made so we got by pretty well.  I served up this Vegan Vegetable Soup that was hearty and filling.  I am sharing the recipe with you today.  It is a wonderful way to Eat a Rainbow and to try to build my husband's strength and immune system back.
