I’m not one for feeling guilty about taking some me time when I need it, but the literal icing on the that alone time is a sweet cookie from Panera. I go after my exercise class, order a cup of broccoli cheddar soup and a large diet soda which I stuff full of lemons, sit and read or scroll through social media, and enjoy a blissful hour or so to myself, topping it all off with a yummy 99 cent pastry. I especially love the frosted shortbread cookies they make for various holidays — like my birthday! (I mean, Valentine’s Day)
