The Best Copycat Panera Recipes

We used to go out to eat a lot more. As a family of four, I felt I could barely tackle taking kids into a restaurant. One of our favorite spots was Panera Bread Company. In fact, my husband would always date our daughters by taking them to pricier restaurants and my location of choice was Panera. I know, you guys, I had high standards… and the frugal title of my blog is truth!

Panera Bread

I have always loved the restaurant Panera. It truly was one of my favorite spots for soup, sandwiches, salads, and of course desserts!  When our last two children were born (twins in December 2017), the dinners outside of the home halted. While in the hospital, and while one of the boys was in the NICU, I had my fair share of Panera at the hospital location. However, once they were released and we entered flu and cold season, we were in our home exclusively. It’s been almost a year since they were born and even though we can once again go out into the germ infested world, going out in public, especially to a restaurant, is very hard with a family of seven.

Copycat Recipes

Because we all still like to enjoy a good restaurant meal, I have had to take some of my favorite recipes into our home and learn to make them myself. Perhaps for the nostalgia, the NICU and our history of  the dates, at the top of our list was Copycat Panera Recipes.

If this restaurant brings a special memory to you too, enjoy these copycat recipes below!
