Get In My Belly
The start of November brings many things to mind. My birthday month (most importantly) and also that of Thanksgiving. This won’t be a cheesy post about how thankful I am for what I have, so continue to read on. Instead I’d like to turn to our attention to our belly’s and see what creatives like to eat while working. I can’t keep up eating a bag of pizza rolls wrapped in bacon, deep fried and coated with chocolate and covered with sprinkles(don’t judge me). Nor can I stand eating one leaf of lettuce and eyedropper full of lemon juice washed down with a shot of distilled sparkling super clean soy/water hybrid. I love to munch while I work; be it something healthy or nasty, I can get down on the get down. Sleeve’s of cookies run scared and PB&J is actually tattooed on my inner thigh (oh the visual). As this holiday season rolls around, what is it that you like to snack on while working and what calls your name in the wee hours of the nigh?
Here are few of my favorite things to eat:
- Gram crackers
- Cereal (any kind)
- Peanut Butter and Jelly (strawberry jam really)
- Poptarts
- Strawberries
- Sandwiches – How I love my sandwiches!
Comment below and add your favorite things to eat while working.

I'm also a full-time graphic & web designer for the Community Foundation of Northwest Indiana, Inc. A Freelance designer under the alias Miracletwentyone.org, An adjunct professor at Valparaiso University and founder of the INsight Design Conference.
I am passionate about our craft, industry and community. I enjoy the challenges of life and the process of design.
I actually try not to munch to much when I am behind the computer, because I will get out of control and eat a whole box of something, hahaha!
When I do munch, I go with dry roasted almonds. I also like trail mix too.
lol, Target has some good trail mixes. They have one with m&m’s, raisins and nuts. So good.
If it’s a big project, I snack on cashews, chips (of any kind), and on occasion pizza and pop (Mostly either Coke or Mountain Dew). Otherwise, I just have a bottle of water when I’m working. Water usually gets the job done for me.
Sometimes I munch; stuff like crackers (I’m partial to wheat thins), pretzels, dried fruit and nuts, etc. are always great, but I generally prefer liquids. Coffee. Have to have a cup of coffee while I’m working intently. Like Atom, I have to watch portion control with munchies. I have to put something in a bowl or else I will eat until I reach the bottom of the box/bag.
