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.

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.

Fat: Check! Protein: Check!
This makeshift meal was surprisingly pretty darn good. Drawer food to the rescue!

My new favorite fruit is a pomegrantate, for sure! I always saw them in the store and wanted to try them, but couldn’t figure out how to eat them until I watched your handy-dandy video about them, so thank you for introducing me to the best fruit EVER 🙂
I love pineapple. I love it any way I can get it! LOL
My drawer at the office is eerily similar to yours!
And, favorite fruit?! That’s one of the hardest questions! 🙂 My favorite is blueberries & I LOVE blueberry muffins! They’re also not bad on top of cheesecake! hehe
WATERMELON! all time favorite food.
Freshly cut in the summer on a hot afternoon. best ever.
I love mangoes…especially in a tasty smoothie!
Mmm…I love banana sliced up in my oatmeal!
I love fresh blueberries, in my oatmeal to make a purple masterpiece!
I LOVE bananas and I am obsessed with them in my oatmeal!
Bananas in a pb and j and b!! or in a smoothie!
Bananas are by far my favorite fruit – and I enjoy them paired with practically ANY food. But – my favorite is defintely a frozen banana – with melted dark chocolate. Dip the frozen naner in the chocolate – and the chocolate immediate hardens. A quick chocolate covered banana. Deliciousness
that sounds perfect!
My favorite fruit is a banana!
I enjoy them plain orrrrr sliced, frozen with a little pb, dipped in dark chocolate, and frozen again! mmm!
I LOVE FRUIT!!! My favorite is probably Pineapple or Watermelon. I could probably eat the whole fruit in one sitting (and not one of those personalized watermelons either).
I LOVE bananas too! On multigrain toast with peanut butter.
Kiwis, scooped out of their little furry shell.
My favorite fruit combo is strawberries AND rasberries mixed with Nutella! Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!
I love apples in apple crisp!
I loveee bananas! My oatmeal every morning is not complete without one of these babies!
AHHH! I would die for these — they sounded so delicious in your yogurt bowl the other day!
I am seriously a fruitaholic — I’ve never met a fruit I don’t LOVE! I would have to say though, lately, that I’m becoming quite obsessed with mangoes. They are delicious in smoothies, on their own or diced into some fage yogurt with agave and granola. Mmmm, I think I need to go get one now!
Thanks for hosting such a bomb.com giveaway 😉
I adore pineapple in any way, shape, and form. However, it’s absolutely the best just fresh and plain 🙂
I love strawberries…. on top of shortcake with whip cream especially!
Grapes, purple—- freezing cold
or
Bananas with pb!!!
I love honey/champagne mangoes (they’re smaller, sweeter and less fibrous/pulpy than regular mangoes) sliced up, plain! Can’t get any better than that 😀
My favorite fruit is Watermelon and I like to eat it straight off the rind! I LOVE it!
I love pears especially the juicy pear flavored Jelly Belly’s!!
I love pineapple!! It is awesome no matter how I have it! But when it is fresh cut and just perfectly ripe! WOW!!
I like to make a chocolate elvis protein shake with bananas, chocolate powder, and a big scoop of peanut butter. Definitely healthier than the version you get at Planet Smoothie.
My current fruit is bananas with peanut butter. Yum! I’ve had it for breakfast for the last week and a half!
i LOVE BANANAS!! i eat um… 4 a day.. kay cool!
I love mangoes, especially in salsa!
My favorite fruit (at the moment) is blueberries and I loooove them with some greek yogurt and nuts. Delish!
I love organic golden delicious apples dipped into any kind of peanut butter!!
STRAWBERRIES!! I love them any way I can get my grubby little hands on them. Straight up, frozen, dried, smushed, purred and any way they can possibly be made I love them.
Oooh, ooh I wanna get in on this game (love free food!) 🙂 My favorite fruit is kiwi, sliced and layered on top of toasted bread spread with a little strawberry cream cheese!
My ultimate favorite fruit are strawberries. They’re so versatile, you can eat them plain, with whipped cream, chocolate, or mixed into chocolate ice cream (like @ Cold Stone Creamery)!
All time favorite? Oh that’s so hard. But I do love a really fresh, ripe nectarine in the summer time eaten straight up!
Plain, ripe mango is my favorite!
PINEAPPLE is my all time favorite — and on the grill, perfection!!! 🙂
I have been LOVING oranges and peanut butter lately. It is the most delicious thing I’ve had in a long time!! 🙂
I LOVE bananas. Favorite way to eat them is with peanut butter, of course!
Pineapple on cottage chesse … yum!
I love all fruits! But as summer approaches, my favorite is watermelon! Eaten in chunks, right out of the container!
I wasn’t sure I had a favorite until I went a week without bananas!!! They are definitely my favorite fruit and I love them in my morning green smoothies – or with nut butter (or, if we’re being honest, chocolate syrup or dipped in chocolate pudding)… So ok, I pretty much like bananas ANY WAY POSSIBLE!
My all time favorite fruit would have to be HONEYCRISP APPLES!! and I eat them just straight up with a big chomp! 😉 THEY ARE SOOOOO JUICY AND YUMMY!
GRAPEFRUITS… They’re sweet and tart and hold a special place in my heart 😛
Strawberries and my favorite way to enjoy them is dipped in white chocolate!
I love blueberries and raspberries, frozen in yogurt!
bananas with ice cream…that makes the ice cream healthy right?
Hmm, I love pineapple! I like to eat it just plain, or dipped in chocoalte of course! Also, bananas and PB are tought to beat!
I eat at least one apple a day. Besides keeping any nearby doctors away, I love the taste of them, especially freshly picked from the farmers market. Apples are so common, but they’re really the perfect snack. No peeling, sticky fingers, packaging–just perfect as is!
i looove bananas in oatmeal!
