Thankfully I keep an emergency stash of soup in a drawer at my desk so I have something to eat should a food emergency surface. (Apparently I keep lots of fun stuff in my desk drawers!)
Foodie Drawer
Also in the drawer: A crap-ton of tea, honey, jelly, hot chocolate, utensils, lady products 😉 and miscellaneous personal papers. Things not in the drawer: peanut butter. I tried this once and the whole jar was gone in three days. Three days. And it wasn’t even specialty flavored peanut butter. I’m a mess.
Around lunchtime today I rummaged through the drawer and selected a can of Progresso chicken barley soup.

Sluuuurp
I also purchased a pack of honey roasted peanuts for $.50 from the little café on the second floor of our building to add some healthy fats and protein to my meal.
Feelin' Nutty
Fat + Protein
Fat: Check! Protein: Check!
This makeshift meal was surprisingly pretty darn good. Drawer food to the rescue!

I love kiwis! Especially with the skins on–yumm!!
I love bananas…and I love them even more with globs of peanut butter! 🙂
Picking just one fave fruit is difficult. Lately its been bananas with a smear of nut butter. (almond or peanut)
but it really depends on what looks good at the market. It can range from my fave being a Pomegranite or Blood Orange to a Honeycrisp apple!
Banana and peanut butter all the way!! 🙂
Banana and peanut butter for sure!
fuji apples with almond butter
blueberries with almond butter on oatmeal!
I love frozen grapes!
I love any fruit!!! Especially in yogurt, making parfaits:) Sadly I can’t eat much lately because of a fructose intolerance:(
Mangoes! I cut it up and eat it from a bowl. The sticker the fingers after, the better.
I LOVE apples and mangoes! But mostly apples b/c they’re sooo versatile! They can be made for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack, or even dessert!!! MMmmm!
Apples, I love them raw with peanut butter or honey (or both) or baked into ANY type of crumble, crisp, or tart!!
I love kiwi!!!!! yummm. i don’t get to eat it very often but when i do it’s delicious.
Great giveaway! I love love love pears and those funky “skirts” they look like they’re wearing at the grocery store!
I’ve been loving Fuji apples lately and just today created some seriously tasty *peanut butter* apple cookies with them!
I love apples in apple crisp!!
Apples! Mostly because they pair really well peanut butter! I like to make apple sandwiches. I just cut apples into slices starting from the core and topping a slice with some pb and putting another apple slice on top in the form of a sandwich. So good!
My favorite fruit is pineapple! I like it best in a big spinach salad with strawberries, goat cheese, and cajun grilled chicken.
Kiwi! I like to eat it plain peeled and cut up into slices!
Hands down, I’d have to say grapefruit…I LOVE IT!! I have one every morning, cut up into 16 wedges so I can enjoy the entire thing.
blueberries in greek yogurt with a crumbled maple flavored cookie
I love bananas! My favorite way to enjoy a banana is in cereal, but I’ll basically eat banana with anything! I also especially love peanut butter banana sandwiches!
My all-time favorite fruit is mango. I like it best by itself fresh! But it’s also an amazing frozen yogurt topping
I LOVEEE pineapple! Definitely has to be fresh though. With cottage cheese. Or in smoothies. Or even with peanut butter 🙂
Haha I wonder if it’s just you, a foodie, who stashes a drawer like that, or if everyone does it 😛
My favourite fruit is Mango, and eat it just the way it is. But actually, I love all fruits so it depends on my mood. In the summer frozen watermelon is a staple!!
I lovvvve bananas! Frozen in chunks, and then dipped in peanut butter! yummm
My absolute favorite fruit is pineapple, and I love to eat it with a little chile sprinkled on top.
strawberries! best is when you go to a you-pick strawberry farm, and about half go into the bucket, and half get eaten straight off the vine 🙂
Definitely strawberries! With dark chocolate drizzled on them…. yum!
Mangoes! My family is from Jamaica, so I was taught to eat them like you would an apple (but not the peel). And once all the flesh is gone you suck all the flesh, and stringy stuff stuck to the seed. Fun Fact: My mom and her sister’s used to make dolls out of the seeds as a child!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who keeps a stash of food in my desk!
I love peaches, fresh & eaten out hand.
Mmm…dried fruit is the bomb. 😀
Kiwi and I are tight like PB&J. Just a pinch of froyo and we’re good to go. 🙂
I would have to say WATERMELON! Cold, sweet watermelon on a hot summer day, to be exact 😉
Hmmm this is a tough question bc I don’t discriminate when it comes to fruit- I love it all. But my favorite is strawberries- I like em in yogurt or sliced on a bagel thin with a little cream cheese
i love white peaches in yogurt/granola bowls. delishhh!
Apples with peanut butter 🙂
I would have to say that it’s a tie between apples and bananas…with peanut butter of course. 🙂
Apples in apple pie!! Not so healthy but YUM!!!
Mango! Mangoes with mango froyo = DEATH.
WAY too many good ones to choose from……probably blueberries, especially in blueberry buckle!
Bananas are the bomb! My favorite is with peanut butter.
I love strawberries, especially when they are lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar!!
I love eating bananas in oatmeal with peanut butter…yummy!
I LOVE APPLES. I eat apples like they’re going out of style. and whats great is they’re always fairly cheap!
i love love raspberries, just straight out of the carton!
I love all fruit. I love Pineapples by themselves. But I eat bananas every morning and I eat them with peanut butter!!!! MMMMM!!!!! I love peanut butter!
Favorite fruit: Tomatoes! Favorite way to eat them: Picked straight out of our garden!
I am tomatoes biggest fan! I particularly enjoy the garden fresh kind- and could live on salsa made from any variety!
Pineapples. Almost as sweet as candy
apples apples apples! best enjoyed crisp from the refrigerator or with some almond butter.
