So here is another blog post about me copying a Panera salad that ends up being better than Paneras! Last summer, it was the strawberry poppyseed chicken salad; this summer, it’s the Fuji Apple salad with chicken. On my Saturday morning grocery run, I picked up the Fuji apple vinaigrette dressing (from Meijer), some mixed greens, apple chips, roasted…

Positive Vibes Only
Yesterday I got my nails done. Last month I wore a perfect red, this month—a perfect purple.
