A Bowlful of Summer!

Met a friend for lunch last week at Panera and had the Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, it was so good, I bribed Jake into going there to lunch with me again today so I could get another one!  It tastes like a bowl full of summer!  Fresh strawberries - fresh blueberries - fresh pineapple - not so fresh, but still sweet and juicy mandarin oranges - toasted pecans - and a peppery grilled chicken - all tossed up in a light poppy seed dressing.  And the entire big bowl has only 340 calories!  For real!  This could become a weekly habit.

McAlister's Does Tea Right!

The best thing is at McAlister's Deli is not the Havarti Sweet Chipotle Chicken Panini (Delicious!) or the Southwest Roasted Corn Soup (Mmmmm!) but their really BIG glasses of Iced Tea and the servers who come around about half way through your lunch and offer to get you a refill.  I like to get mine unsweetened and sweeten it up myself with a couple of pink packets, but the Sweet Tea is a favorite of many.  Always perfectly brewed and always perfectly refreshing - in a really big glass - McAlister's Iced Tea.
