The thought of bringing your own lunch to school or work probably conjures up some pretty unpalatable images for you – a soggy turkey sandwich, someone else’s microwaved fish slowly heating up in the office kitchen, or just plain old PB&Js crumbling over your keyboard as you work through another lunch break. But this week, Workman is taking a step back to reflect on lunch with the help of our new ebook, Bring Your Lunch! by Califia Suntree.
The concept behind Bring Your Lunch! is one that all of us busy adults can easily get behind. Bringing your lunch can save you money (at least $25 a week – that’s $750 a year!) and is way healthier than those last minute dashes out to the greasy pizza joint across the street. And Califia offers tons of thoughtful, inspired, and downright delicious recipes to ensure that the lunchtime doldrums never set in.
To get in the spirit here at the office, we sent everyone at Workman some tips and tricks from Bring Your Lunch! as well as a few great (and easy!) recipes, including the Prosciutto and Provolone Sandwich with Fig Jam featured below (click to enlarge).
On Monday, those who had brought in their lunches gathered at our big table downstairs for an indoor picnic complete with a red and white checkered tablecloth, fresh flowers, and two types of homemade lemonade! For every day that employees bring in their lunches this week, they are entered in our raffle to win some swag from our friends at BlueAvocado and a gift certificate to Whole Foods. Employees who bring their lunch every day this week are also eligible for Workman Wellness Points as part of our wellness initiative.
Every day this week, we have been gathering at lunch time for more indoor picnics and on Friday we will celebrate one more lunch together with desserts and a drawing for our raffle prize winner!
Who knew bringing your lunch to work could be so much fun!
