Oatmeal

There are no complaints about oatmeal when it's served with caramel coated salted pretzels. Those are chocolate chips and sprinkles in the background. We've got rainbow sprinkles too!

Breakfast Nacho Friday

No complaints. No leftovers.

Healthy Thursdays

About 1-2 times a week, we get "healthy" breakfast. The great thing about healthy breakfast is that no one likes it, yet it's the most common feedback when they send out surveys about what we want for food.

"Give us healthier options!" - aspirational survey respondents
"Ew, we hate healthy food!" - actual breakfast eaters

Today's healthy menu included:
- Grapefruit brulee (served with maraschino cherries on top)
- Lowfat cottage cheese
- "Fluffy" egg whites with and without cheese (let's be clear, egg whites can never be fluffy on their own)
- Pork sausage
- Turkey sausage

You can always tell when it's healthy day because most of breakfast is left at 11 AM. Also, people look at the breakfast, disappear, and then reappear with McDonald's.

The only one benefitting from this is me, saving cottage cheese and greek yogurt from their fate of getting thrown away otherwise. I'm there for you, dairy.

About Overheard at Breakfast

I have a cool workplace that provides free, hot breakfast every day. On top of that, breakfast is DIFFERENT every day! It's incredible.

I don't eat the provided breakfast every day because I know I'm picky. But I'd say that the majority of the office does eat the breakfast, and they are vocal about their opinions about what breakfast should be as they eat their free breakfast. I've started sitting in the kitchen in the mornings just to watch what happens at breakfast.

This is a blog to record some of my favorite observations at breakfast.
