Corned Beef Panini - Wildwood Bagel : Wildwood, NJ

Corned Beef  Panini - Wildwood Bagel : Wildwood, NJ

I went to Wildwood this weekend with my boyfriend and our first stop was Wildwood Bagel. Don't let the name fool you. This place has a great lunch menu. In fact, I reviewed a panini from Wildwood Bagel before. Check out this link to read my review of the Honey Mustard Chicken panini.

Does that sandwich sound familiar? It should. I recently posted a panini recipe that is very similar to this one. (A year ago I mentioned that this panini reminded me of Panera's chicken bacon Dijon, so really all three sandwiches are very similar.) 
I was really tempted to get the same panini I ordered last year, but I wanted to try something new. My boyfriend suggested we each pick one and share.
So I had...

• 1/2 Honey Mustard Chicken Panini
• 1/2 Corned Beef Panini
  
  Both sandwiches are served on ciabatta bread with a bag of chips and a pickle spear.

Honey Mustard Chicken and Bacon Panini - recipe

 Honey Mustard Chicken and Bacon Panini - Homemade : The Bread Recipe

Remember THIS awesome bread recipe I reviewed?

I used it to make these paninis! (That was pretty obvious, huh?) 

Like most of you know, I used to work at Panera Bread and I am still obsessed with their food. One of my favorite paninis was the (now discontinued) Chicken Bacon Dijon. I worked at every station at Panera and I usually made all of the paninis each weekend, so I knew what was in it. What's to stop me from recreating it on my own?

BBQ Pulled Pork - Pinterest Recipe Review

BBQ Pulled Pork - Pinterest Recipe : The PIN

Time for another Pinterest recipe!

I had a bunch of friends over tonight so I made some pinterest recipes. One of them was this BBQ pulled pork.

The recipe was super easy, but the finished product was VERY VERY sweet. The whole thing really depends on what BBQ sauce you use. Even though I used a tangy sauce, it got a lot sweeter as it cooked down. So I had to modify the recipe a bit to cut the sweetness.

Sorry for the slew of posts with bad photos, I didn’t have my actual camera on me so the last 3 posts were via cellphone camera. These next shots are a LOT better.

I went to the shore with my family, but the weather didn’t want to cooperate. So, when you can’t enjoy the beach…you enjoy the food! (Well I do that anyway…)

We went out for breakfast on Saturday to Wildwood Bagel, but I wasn’t in a very breakfast-mood. So, I ordered off the lunch menu instead. (It was about 11AM anyway.)

Lunch - Philadelphia Art Museum

 Lunch - Philadelphia Art Museum

I went to the art museum last weekend to see the Impressionist exhibit with my mom and her beau. The museum has a cafeteria so we grabbed lunch. I normally don’t eat at the museum cafe (it’s pretty pricey) but my mom has a museum membership and gets a discount.

There were a LOT of options available. Hot meals, wine, panini…
It was a bit crowded so I grabbed something ready-made and easy, a ham and brie sandwich with a lemon-poppy muffin.

Panera Bread You Pick Two - Panera Bread Moorestown, NJ

Panera Bread You Pick Two - Panera Bread Moorestown, NJ

I love Panera! I worked there for several years as a trainer, and I love their products and their company. Best job I had ever had, but that was thanks to the wonderful staff and management team. My sister was going to Panera with a friend and asked if I wanted anything, so I ordered this yummy masterpiece!

Bacon Turkey Bravo (no tomatoes and extra Bravo-sauce), is delicious. This sandwich has sweet tomato basil bread, bravo sauce (1000 island dressing), romaine lettuce, Gouda cheese, roasted turkey and bacon. It is delicious! Gouda cheese is the bacon of cheeses. If you haven’t already, be sure to try it!

The other half of my You Pick Two was the Strawberry Poppy seed and Chicken salad. It’s romaine lettuce, chicken and fresh fruits served with a sweet oniony-poppy-seed dressing. I used to hate this dressing when I worked at Panera. It did not look very appealing, but it is delicious! Especially with strawberries. On my break I used to get a bowl of cut up berries, drizzle this dressing on top, and have it for lunch. It’s summery and refreshing.

I don’t think I have ever met someone who did not enjoy Panera Bread’s food. If you haven’t had it, be sure to give them a try!
