Once a week I would make up a batch of fritters with whatever seasonal ingredients I had left in my fridge.

Setting up ourselves for success seems so far in the future&#8230; At first, the thought is nice, but then habits creep in. Corporate-casual is now code for yoga pants, if any pants. Our desk slowly migrates to the comfort of our covers. Water-cooler chat becomes solo treks to the fridge where we pick on whatever\u2019s available\u2026 But we can change this habit with a little healthy preparation.
