I get up at 5:30 a.m. to walk dogs and such before work. I leave for work around 7:10 a.m. I'm not normally hungry at that time nor do I feel like cooking at that time. I have to find grab and go breakfasts and lunch as well.
I'm not into meal preparing. I've done it, have made very tasty things; but by day 3 I'm tired of eating the prepped meal and that can send me off the deep end.
Grab and go breakfasts can be a slice of 647 bread with whipped peanut butter, yogurt, fruit. Simple.
Lunch can be sandwich, soup, leftovers from dinner the night before.
So what happens on those occasions I go out the door and breakfast and lunch is still on the kitchen counter?
Ooops!!!
This is where my "just in case" drawer comes in handy at work.
Yep that's my drawer! I just recently cleaned it out and put some new things in. So if breakfast and/or lunch is on the kitchen counter, if I need something "extra", if a co-worker needs food...it's all there in the drawer. Oatmeal, tuna, soup, unsweetened applesauce, microwave meals (that need no refrigeration), even WW snack bars. There's also a scale, measuring cups/spoons, salt & pepper and cinnamon!
I realize not everyone has a job that can allow you to do this; but if you do - then do it!
***This is an old post that I decided to rehare; the photo is old so the point values may be different as the plan has changed; but I still keep one of these drawers at the office!!***
