Panera Bread Locations of the Bronx Celebrates Autumn with Seasonally-Inspired Flavors

Panera brings back signature fall foods and introduces new options.

2011-10-22

BRONX, NY, October 22, 2011 (Press-News.org) Autumn at Panera Bread is all about the best ingredients and flavors that warm from the inside out. To celebrate the transition into Fall, Panera is offering a variety of seasonally inspired flavors with the return of some favorite feel-good foods and the introduction of exciting new items.

New this Fall is the Roasted Turkey Artichoke Panini. Made with all-natural roasted turkey, artichoke-Parmesan spread, roasted red peppers, caramelized onions and fresh baby spinach, all expertly grilled on Asiago Cheese Focaccia, it can be savored alone or paired with Panera's Mac & Cheese as part of a You Pick Two combination meal.

This all-natural turkey is also featured in the new Roasted Turkey Harvest Salad, which boasts a mix of romaine and field greens, fresh d'Angou pears, dried cherries, Gorgonzola cheese, and toasted pecans. Each delicious salad is hand-tossed in cherry balsamic vinaigrette for a sweet touch that complements and ties together each ingredient.

On the sweeter end of the spectrum, Panera Bread is excited to introduce the new Chocolate Pecan Babka this fall. "Babka" is the Polish name for "grandma" - and it's also the name for the rich, buttery, yeasty bread that Eastern European immigrants brought to America in the 19th Century. Panera Bread skilled bakers artfully create each babka with a brioche-type dough with a buttermilk flavor to craft sweet egg bread that is marbled with a chocolate-flavored filling and toasted pecans.

For those looking for a low-fat snack on-the-go or a complement to any meal, Panera Bread introduces the new Cranberry Orange Smoothie with Ginseng to its smoothie lineup. This offering is made with Stonyfield Farm organic, low-fat vanilla yogurt, and is an excellent source of Vitamin C and Calcium, while also providing 100% of the daily value of Vitamins B6 and B12.

The Cherry Vanilla Bagel will celebrate its 10th anniversary with its annual return to Panera Bread this Fall. For the entire month of October, the Pink Ribbon Bagel will help to raise funds toward the fight against breast cancer. Flavored with cherry chips, dried cherries and cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar, this bagel is best enjoyed plain or paired with plain cream cheese. A portion of proceeds from all Pink Ribbon Bagel sales during the month of October will be donated to the local Bronx Chapter of the American Cancer Society. Since 2001, more than 7 million Pink Ribbon Bagels have been sold nationwide and $1 million has been raised for breast cancer charities.

A seasonal customer favorite, the signature All-Natural Steak Chili with Cornbread is back. A hearty blend of slow-cooked tender brisket slices, ground beef with onions, green bell peppers and kidney beans flavored with garlic and ancho peppers in a rich tomato-based broth, it is topped with a fresh-baked sweet cornbread crumble and provides a warm way to take the chill off any Fall day.

Autumn also brings the return of the Pumpkin Spiced Latte. An artful mix of flavors, this tasty drink is made with espresso, steamed milk and pumpkin spice topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. This latte can stand alone or be paired with one of Panera's Pumpkin Cookies, made from a pumpkin-shaped shortbread cookie decorated with orange and green icing.

Scientists determine family tree for most-endangered bird family in the world

2011-10-22

Using one of the largest DNA data sets for a group of birds and employing next-generation sequencing methods, Smithsonian scientists and collaborators have determined the evolutionary family tree for one of the most strikingly diverse and endangered bird families in the world, the Hawaiian honeycreepers. Not only have the researchers determined the types of finches that the honeycreeper family originally evolved from, but they have also linked the timing of that rapid evolution to the formation of the four main Hawaiian Islands.

Homicide, suicide outpace traditional causes of death in pregnant, postpartum women

2011-10-22

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Violent deaths are outpacing traditional causes of maternal mortality, such as hemorrhage and preeclampsia, and conflicts with intimate partner are often a factor, researchers report.

Palladino, an obstetrician-gynecologist and educational researcher at Georgia Health Sciences University. "It's not what you want to read, but it's the reality." The analysis of the Centers for Disease Control ...

HOUSTON, Oct. 20, 2011 – Researchers at the University of Houston (UH) are recommending a new strategy for developing drugs to treat cancer, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases.

"We have known for some time that female sex hormones – estrogens – influence a number ...

West Nile virus transmission linked with land-use patterns and 'super-spreaders'

2011-10-22

After its initial appearance in New York in 1999, West Nile virus spread across the United States in just a few years and is now well established throughout North and South America. Both the mosquitoes that transmit it and the birds that are important hosts for the virus are abundant in areas that have been modified by human activities. As a result, transmission of West Nile virus is highest in urbanized and agricultural habitats. "The virus has had an important impact on human health in the United States partly because it took advantage of species that do well around ...

Inconsistent evaluations may affect promotion of women in law firms

2011-10-22

Los Angeles, CA (October 20, 2011)- Partners in Wall Street law firms write equally nice things about the work of their male and female junior lawyers, but when they use hard numbers, they rate the men higher, according to a study in the current Social Psychological and Personality Science (published by SAGE). The use of positive language may be to soften the blow of low evaluations or they may be based on lower expectations of female performance based on stereotypes, write Monica Biernat, of the University of Kansas, M.J. Tocci of Fulcrum Advisors and Joan Williams ...

Giant flakes make graphene oxide gel

2011-10-22

HOUSTON -- (Oct. 20, 2011) -- Giant flakes of graphene oxide in water aggregate like a stack of pancakes, but infinitely thinner, and in the process gain characteristics that materials scientists may find delicious. A new paper by scientists at Rice University and the University of Colorado details how slices of graphene, the single-atom form of carbon, in a solution arrange themselves to form a nematic liquid crystal in which particles are free-floating but aligned. That much was already known. The new twist is that if the flakes – in this case, graphene oxide – ...

NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) use balloon-borne instruments, ground-based instruments and satellites to monitor the annual Antarctic ozone hole, global levels of ozone in the stratosphere ...

Nearby planet-forming disk holds water for thousands of oceans

2011-10-22

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---For the first time, astronomers have detected around a burgeoning solar system a sprawling cloud of water vapor that's cold enough to form comets, which could eventually deliver oceans to dry planets. Water is an essential ingredient for life. Scientists have found thousands of Earth-oceans' worth of it within the planet-forming disk surrounding the star TW Hydrae. TW Hydrae is 176 light years away in the constellation Hydra and is the closest solar-system-to-be. University of Michigan astronomy professor Ted Bergin is a co-author of a paper on the ...
