----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On many days, my biggest motivation for not hitting that snooze button is the thought of a tall cup of hot (or iced – weather depending) coffee served with a toasted corn muffin from the Au Bon Pain. Lucky for me, there is an Au Bon Pain at every block corner in Boston, so I’m never far from a “morning motivator.”

Well, lucky for you too readers, because my friends at Au Bon Pain have just sent me TWO $20 gift cards for me to giveaway on FinanceFoodie.com. To enter, please leave a comment under this post answering:

Looking forward to hearing your responses! And check back on August 8th to see if you have won!

*In order to promote inclusion to all readers, for those who do not eat breakfast, you can share your favorite lunch item :)

  15. I don't get to eat this often, but I LOVE to have a cheese croissant with hot chocolate. I know it sounds like a weird combo, but it's delicious! You get the subtle salty of the cheese with the sweetness of chocolate and the buttery, flaky texture of the croissant. Yum Yum!

    Fresh croissant.

    Hot chocolate or strong, bold coffee.
