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!

Strawberries in a big fruit salad!
My favorite fruit is apple and I like to eat slices with peanut butter.

I am hooked on apples, with the smuckers natural peanut butter…soooo good
Raspberries are my faaaavorite! I love eating them fresh off the vine on a hot summer day…yummy!
I like apples, chopped up, with peanut butter smeared all over 😀 (and the occasional bite of cheese too!)
It’s hard for me to choose a favorite fruit but if I had to it would be either pineapple or banana and I love them both mixed with yogurt!
I love strawberries, especially in yogurt.
I love banana soft serve!
I love grapes, regular and frozen during the summer!!! And blueberries – eat them every day with yogurt and granola! 🙂
I LOVVVEE strawberries and I love to sprinkle powdered sugar on them for a dessert!
Grilled pineapple!!! Or cutting open a watermelon and eating it right there with a spoon! haha no need to waste time cutting it up
my favorite fruit is, hands-down, peaches! perfect during the summer 🙂
Pineapples. Straight up. Or on Hawaiian pizza 🙂
Strawberries are my fave with a fork only!
I have a foodie drawer too, and everyone makes fun of me. It comes in handy when you forget your lunch!!
My fiancé would LOVE Funky Monkey!
I think my favorite fruit would have to be granny smith apples… paired with peanut butter, of course 🙂
i LOVE pineapple. cut fresh it needs nothing! although i wouldnt complain about grilled pineapple either…haha
Ohhhh. Hard question. If it’s breakfast, I love raspberries with just about anything. But for a snack? No doubt I’m a PB and banana girl.
I love peaches dusted with cinnamon! thanks julie!
My fave fruit are blueberries, and I love them in blueberry muffins!
I LOVE blueberries! Straight from the container or in some milk 🙂 thanks!
My favorite fruit are apples and i love them dipped in peanut butter!!
My all-time favorite fruit is pineapple, and I just like to eat is plain!
I love bananas. There awesome in chobani strawberry yogurt with kashi go lean cereal
I also have a food drawer at work (and I have to admit I also take over a cubby in the fridge with some of my condiments/hummis/etc)…much cheaper than running down the street and grabbing something completely unhealthy and super expensive!
My fave fruit changes quite often. I love banana’s in smoothies with PB..yum! Or green grapes just outta the freezer! Actually just any fruit now that I’m thinking about it!
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Spongebob squarepants!
Yes, I like pineapple! 🙂
Mango! The best way to eat them is criss-cross slice them in the skin, and then scrape the pieces out with a spoon… or your teeth!
I’d have to say, I’m a purist. I like most fruit plain and natural. Favorites include strawberries, cherries, blueberries, raspberries…if it ends in erry, I probably like it (except blackberries…don’t like them!!!)
I love your blog! It’s my new addiction to read everyday.
I love to eat apples, any kind really, but I really love granny smiths w/ a little peanut butter spread on them! YUMMMY tart and savory at the same time.
water melon! with everything related to summer cookouts 🙂
Bananas! On peanut butter toast, mashed into oatmeal, or all by themselves! So delicious and filling.
Strawberries are my fave…and the best in strawberry shortcake!
Plain, fresh strawberries are my absolute favorite. If they were free, I would eat them with every meal, every day!
BERRIES!- any kind of berries! strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries…
and i love them in my oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, salads, or even just plain 🙂
My fav is blackberries and raspberries… mixed in with vanilla yogurt. Or on top of cheesecake……….. yum.
BANANAS! mashed up in oatmeal, sliced on top of cereal, or sliced on PB toast…even by itself!
I LOVE blueberries and I like to eat them right out of the pint or freshly picked, but they have to be cold!
Mango used to be my favorite fruit…til I found out I was allergic 🙁 Did you know it’s a member of the poison oak family?!?! Anyway, my almost-as-good replacement is some ripe papaya sprinkled with lime juice and salt. Sooo good!
Yay giveaway!!!
My fave fruit pineapple, so sweet and so delicious. And my favourite way to enjoy it is plain, just by itself! Yummers.
yess!! i want to try these! I love bananas – frozen! because you can make ice cream, smoothies, milkshakes etc. if you eat a frozen banana “ice cream” does that count as a dessert?
I would have to say berries are my favorite and I love them the most in chocolate crusted berry cheesecake.
Second goes to guava in juice form. It’s the best darn juice you could ever ask for.
I LOVE berries! In anything.. oatmeal, muffins, cakes, or, heck, just right out of the container!
Bananas! Definitely just with peanut butter globbed all over it!! 🙂
I would eat a pint of raspberries right out of the carton every single morning if I could afford it. But…raspberries are pricey and I can’t. So, I usually buy a pint, hide it from my kids, and mix a few in with my vanilla greek yogurt in the mornings. 🙂 Thanks, Julie!
i love berries. any kind of berries. i love, love, love to add them to my yogurt. mmmmm 🙂
Hard to choose my favorite but I’d have to say apples! Love them for a snack or with a meal.
