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.

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

Nectarines are my favorite fruit ever!! They are great in oatmeal or yogurt….but I love them alone the best 🙂
This is a tough one… either strawberry or pineapple. Strawberry flavored stuff is more common, but I love pineapple on pizza, stir fry, the grill… anywhere you can warm it up a bit and it sweetens up the dish!
i LOVE strawberries! dippped in chocolate!
I love bananas… esp. on a Peanut butter, BANANA, honey, and cinnamon sandwich!!!!
BLACKBERRIES! Ah! I love them frozen or mixed with plain greek yogurt. I seriously go through bags and bags of frozen blackberries.
My favorite is blackberries picked fresh from my mom’s garden. And the best way to eat them… in her fresh baked cobblers of course!! She’s the best!
I sure hope I win this one!!
I’m bananas for bananas! They’re the best in Green Monsters!
I love frozen bananas and chocolate chips blended: chocolate banana soft serve 🙂
I love strawberries with chocolate fondue! yummm
My fave is definitely apples w honey or pb! Can’t go wrong.
Ps, I’ve tried the funky monkey snacks before and LOVE the apple cinnamon. Too bad I haven’t been able to find them for sale around here (got them at a festival). 🙁
I love bananas smeared with Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter (by PB&Co.)!!!
Fave is def pineapple! I just love it raw 🙂
Pineapple! Grilled with cinnamon!!!
Picking only one favorite fruit is really hard, but I think I have to go with bananas because they are so versatile. My favorite way to enjoy them is sliced on top of pb toast with honey and cinnamon!
I go banana for bananas with peanut butter on an english muffin!!!!!
Strawberries with whipped cream 🙂
Peaches are my all time favorite fruit. I live next to a peach orchard so my favorite childhood memory is digging into a fresh peach in the summer. I love them over vanilla ice cream too.
Strawberries for sure!!!! Favorite way? Anyway! Dipped in chocolate is the best but you can’t go wrong any which way!
I like white grapefruits with a little sugar.
I love apples! WIth peanut butter 🙂

My favorite is plain old pears. Just sliced up.

My favorite is Sun Dried Banana Spears…wiiiith almond butter. Simply amazing.
Mangoes alone or in a salsa with avocados
I love strawberries with whipped cream!
Bananas are my fave! Nothing better than a simple banana, split down the middle, slathered with peanut butter, and put back together. Yum!
My second fave would be pineapple. Favorite way is “pan seared” with a drizzle of honey and frozen yogurt on top. OMG.
My favorite fruit of all time is red grapes – I absolutely love them! My favorite way to eat them is either straight up or frozen – they taste like sherbert straight out of the freezer!
It’s sooo hard to choose! I love strawberries and blueberries about the same!
Oh yum! My all time fav fruit is a Guava.
I love apples with chocolate pb!
bananas. with peanut butter. almond butter. in cereal. alone. baked. split style. shakes. i love them and there versatility.
I love bananas and adore them with a healthy spread of peanut butter!
i loooooove bananas and my favorite way to eat them is in a dessert that i make which has: a scoop of peanut butter (melted in the microwave for about 40 seconds) and then one crumbled chocolate graham cracker over the pb. top it with one sliced banana, throw it back in the microwave for about 20 seconds, then top it with lite cool whip and mix it all around. i’m sure going to miss that for the next 40 days since i’ve given up dessert as well!
I love fresh pineapple, I’m interested to see if they’re as good freeze dried!
I lOve pineapple, especially cut up with mini marshmallows for dessert!
I love a crisp apple sprinkled with cinnamon alongside a spoonful of creamy almond butter!
I LOVE watermelon – I chunk it up in a large bowl in the fridge to make it easier to munch on. The great part is you don’t have to add a darn thing to make it delicious! 🙂
I love berries and bananas! Strawberries,blueberries, raspberries, oh my! I love them in smoothies, yogurt, fro-yo and ice cream! I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches and smoothies, and bananas in banana splits 🙂

I actually do love bananas, but I love them sliced up in cereal (Kashi Go Lean to be exact) with melted peanut butter on top!
I love pineapple, fresh is awesome, fresh pineapple ice cream is also awesome 🙂
I love green grapes – frozen – they take on the consistency of sorbet.
I love peaches! They’re delicious by themselves or in oatmeal and cobblers!
