Every Friday the company I work for has something we call “Wellness”. This is when each department rotates on a monthly basis and buys breakfast for everyone. The budget is $40 for about 20 employees. It works out perfectly.

When I first started working for my company, I thought “Wellness” meant “healthy”…not so. I brought in all sorts of fruit and low fat stuff.. sure people ate it, but that’s not how I would feed a crew if it was all up to me, and I had free creative reign over the menu. Now, I go to the supermarket on Thursday nights and pick up, cheddar cheese, crackers, peppered salami, pepperoni, yogurt and granola (for those who don’t eat meat, or at least that early in the day) :) I also stop by Panera on that Friday and pick up bagels and some of the breakfast souffle’s, cream cheese and napkins – because I eat like a pig and need all the cleanup I can get.
