Our very own Pat W. likes to do more with less, which is a Zappos Core Value, and he uses this especially in the lunchroom. Zappos provides free lunch for all employees every day of the week, and many of us like to get very creative with all the ingredients available.

Pat is no exception.

Our Human Resources team is known for hosting potlucks in the 2290 building, but today they really went over and above. In honor of Frog Jumping Day, they hosted a breakfast potluck complete with freshly made french toast, waffles, fresh fruit and breakfast pastries to feed the entire building.

Zappos employees are always looking for a reason to eat pancakes all day, and since yesterday was International Pancake Day, you bet we took full advantage of it.

Thanks flook team for all the hard work, and the great pancakes!

In the spirit of Core Value #7, Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit, Casual Lifestyle Content Team invited the Size and Width Merch Team for breakfast and conversation. We had yogurt & granola, pastries, and mini-frittatas. We cleared tables and ate family-style. Here's a pic of Sam H., Rudy R. and Latrira S from the breakfast feast:

We went around the room and talked about one thing in our lives that's new or interesting outside of work. Graham M.'s wife is about to have a baby girl any day, Rudy R. is excited to see Madonna in concert, Nicole S. is picking up the keys to her new house today, and Anji C. is attending a dream analysis lecture on Thursday. Exciting stuff! Yours truly is super-pumped about the upcoming NKOTB concert on October 11th.

I made a batch of mini-frittatas for breakfast that everyone enjoyed. They're a great breakfast to make on the weekend, throw in the fridge, and heat up on your way out the door during the week. Here's the recipe:

Mini-Frittatas

• Ingredients:
• 5 eggs
• shredded cheddar cheese (any cheese will work)
• black pepper
• onion (yellow or red)
• chopped bacon (or turkey bacon)
• canned diced tomatoes

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Whisk 5 eggs, a handful of shredded cheese and diced onion, 4 slices of chopped, cooked bacon, about 1/4 of a can of drained diced tomatoes, and a few dashes of black pepper together in a bowl. Pour the mixture among 12 greased (cooking spray is fine) muffin cups. Bake for 11 minutes or until golden brown. If you choose to remove the bacon, add more onion and tomato to compensate. Enjoy!
