After seeing Jenny’s post earlier tonight, I got super excited…
…because I received the same package in the mail this morning! I know, I look stunning at 10:30 am. Don’t even kid yourself 😉 Hey, I was excited, alright?!
The only difference was that I got a lil’ greedy and asked for samples to compare them to the Chobani 🙂 Thanks to Sarah with Stonyfield Farm for the loot!
Today was my busy class day – 11:00 am to 5:00 pm with no break – so I had to grab and go as far as food was concerned. Although I can’t complain too much because it gives me the opportunity to rave about Panera and the You Pick Two.
Seriously, whoever invented this concept was a genius. You get a little bit of everything and it’s the “just right” amount of food. Tonight, I got the black bean soup…
Chandelier Coffee? How about Roommate Soup? 😉 That’s K in the murky reflection!
After laughing about the soup, I also had a small Greek salad – romaine, tomatoes, kalamata olives, red onions, pepperoncini, feta and chicken.
And finally, the You Pick Two is rounded out with some of Panera’s fabulous bread. I chose a whole grain baguette tonight. It was a little scrawny, but still good!
The combinations are endless. I pretty much lived off of Panera last spring during finals. It’s the best tasting “fast food” option around, in my humble opinion.
ANNOUNCEMENT TEASER
There may or may not be some changes coming to eating bender in the coming days. Don’t worry, it’s good news! I’m going to leave you in suspense for now, broadcast journalism style 😉 All I will say is that you will know it when you see it!
Haha, great beanie 🙂
Can’t wait to see what the changes are!
black bean soup= my fave thing at Panera’s!
I ate it sooo much over the summer when I interned next to Panera’s!
Your package=awesome.
Holy wonderful yogurt score! I’m seeing Stonyfield Farm products more and more frequently in the grocery stores lately. In Canada! Do you believe it? C’est tres excitant! Definitely no Oikos yet though.
I’m excited for this announcement!
Beanie?! Come on….it’s a toque!
And woohoo for scoring some free yogurty goodness.
I want a free yogurt sample! That package looks amazing.
Wow, awesome freebies! Lucky you! Enjoy 🙂
Can’t wait to see the blog changes!
oh so cute!! so great that you got free samples 😀 😀 the lunch looks great, your roommate really suits being “souped” she looks beautiful!! haha i’m excited for the changes!
you pick two at panera is seriously the best. i miss it-we don’t have panera in ny. i used to go all the time in college.
I love the ‘you pick two’ menu … gotta have my variety!
Gorgeous you! Love the hat!! 🙂
So does that mean if my name were Jenn I would get some cool loot too 😉 I need to get on that name change thing!
I LOVE Panera but haven’t had it in months. I hate being poor, I miss Panera 🙁
omg i am sooo jealous of everyone’s free samples!!! how do you guys score the loot?
and ok, now i’ll be checking back every two seconds for your announcement!
oh, I miss Panera! Especially the summer selections (strawberry poppyseed salad!!!) it seems like they are so inconsistent with the bread—sometimes it’s like the size of my head and other times its so tiny!
cute hate btw : )
Yay for beanies! Love it!! AND I love all your samples, FUN!
Ooooo changes to eatingbender?? Can’t wait! 😉
LOVE THE BEANIE!!! 😀
I used to always order the black bean soup when I’d go to Panera – yum!!
Looking forward to the announcement!!
I sense a redesign….hmmm…
And I’m SO JEALOUS about the yogurt!!! Eat some for us, kay? 🙂

Yay SFF! I’m supposed to get my chobani today!
I just started eating Oikos this week and I love it! Love the hat…super cute!
Wow – this post is loaded with goodstuff! Love the hat and Oikos giveway – how very cool!
I also love black bean soup from panera – doesn’t get any better. I have a friend at school who’s friend’s dad invented panera. So my friend’s friend had all of these free-for-life passes she gave to her friends (say that three times fast). Can you imagine?
I’m dying to know the changes!
Lucky girl! Look at all your loot – you made out like a bandit! 🙂 I’m way jealous!
That greek salad looks amazing!
I can’t wait to hear/see these changes!!!! 😀

[…] 3) Speaking of Greek yogurt – like my transition? – how about a review? As some may recall, I received a great package of goodies from Sarah of Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt a few weeks ago. It included a v. funky beanie, which I modeled here. […]
