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.

Bowl o' 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 cherry… and to be honest just plain cherry!
All time favorite fruit: in season summer peaches! Best way to eat them – peeled (can’t handle the fuzz) with a touch of honey, OR if blackberries are around, then in a peach-blackberry crisp/crumble thinger. So yum.
I love every single kind of berries best! I just wish they weren’t so darn expensive :-/ my cheap and delicious go-to fruit is an apple 🙂
Thanks for such a great giveaway! My all-time favorite fruits is also bananas, but I like mine frozen! I take whole bananas, peel them, then wrap them in tin foil to freeze. Tastes like a banana ice cream pop!
I love raspberries mixed with greek yogurt!
I love watermelon! especially in the summer where I just cut one in half and scoop it out with a spoon 🙂
I’m a HUGE raspberry fan – something about their tartness is just delicious. I especially love them in jams or smoothies. Although you can’t beat fresh off the vine, either!
Apples with peanut butter!
Strawberries! I don’t know if they’re better dipped in chocolate or in strawberry shortcake though… or just plain!
I have a snack drawer also but not as organized as you. I like berries so any of those would be great to get.
I love any kind of berries. They taste amazing just on their own, nice and cold out of the fridge.
I love apples sprinkles with cinnamon and baked in the oven!
Mango is my favorite fruit EVER. I love to enjoy a mango just sliced up plain, though I do love it cubed in Greek yogurt with honey also! Mmm 🙂
My all time favorite fruit is fresh strawberries! But bananas come in a close 2nd:)
I love bananas with peanut butter on them. Yum!
I love strawberries – and best in chocolate covered strawberry form 🙂
I love strawberries and strawberry shortcake is the best!
Mangos!!! I like them plain!
My favorite fruit is pineapple and I love it when they serve it on a scuba diving boat right after you get out of the water. It takes so refreshing after swallowing all that salt water!
Strawberries!!! I was so jealous you went to the strawberry festival! I’m still considering going. Is it worth the 45 minute drive from Tampa?
Hi Julie!!! My fav. fruit is MANGO and I love it in smoothies with milk, yogurt and a lil protein powder! Great giveaway!!!
I LOVE kiwi and my favorite way to eat it is simply to cut it in half and scoop out the green part with a spoon!
I absolutely looooove bananas and peanut butter… YUM!!!
It’s so hard to choose a favorite! Honeycrisp apples, pineapples, and bananas are in my top 5 favorites. If I had to coos one, I’d say the apples.
bananas and almond butter all the way!
I love pretty much any fruit. My favorite is probably pineapple enjoyed straight up.
i loooove bananas! and i love them in shakes, candy, and ice cream! yum!
I love bananas and I love to have a pb & banana sandwich drizzles with honey!! Yummy.
My favorite fruit is Mango…I love them in smoothies!
My favorite fruit is blueberries and I like to take the plastic container and tip it so they pour into my mouth.. I can easily go through a container in probably a minute flat. YUM.
Apples- yummy with peanut butter!
I love bananas! They’re so versatile and delicious! I use them in oats, to make banana soft-serve, banana cake, mmm 🙂
Gotta love pineapple–especially eating almost the whole thing while i’m cutting it up!!
holy moly that’s a lot of comments! According to my calculations, I have a 1 in 482 chance in winning, and I’m sure it’ll only get smaller! Ohhh biostatistics, how I loathe thee….
But you know what I DON’T loathe?? ORANGES! I absolutely loooove me some oranges and will carry ’em around in my purse just so I can eat one wheneva I want! Same goes for Clementine… I’m also a huge fan of pomegrantes! But, as you know, they are not *exactly* the most portable fruit… (heck, you even did a tutorial on how to open one up and eat it… not exactly what I’d dub as “convenient”)
I love strawberries… Sliced with a little sugar sprinkled on top and then put on top of shortcake… OMG
i love those yellow “champagne” mangoes that are just popping up in stores this time of the year. so sweet and yummy!
I love bananas but I can’t decide if my favorite way to enjoy them is slathered in almond butter or processed into “banana frozen yogurt”.
Bananas, mangos, blueberries…anything! And they are all awesome as a plain fruit salad!!
These sound delicious! I’ve never really met a fruit I don’t like, but I think I’d have to pick watermelon and pineapple… I can’t choose just one! My favourite way to enjoy watermelon is just chopped up, and nice and cold in the summer. Pineapple –> it’s all about the smoothies!
I love pineapple dipped in plain yogurt! I also love apples with peanut butter! I can’t decide which is better, but I bet you’d pick apples and pb! 🙂
This is sooo hard. I LOVE fruit so much! I love strawberries in greek yogurt and apples with peanut butter. But you really cant go wrong with banana oats 🙂
I love strawberries, especially when they’re chocolate dipped. And I love, love watermelon when its ice cold from the fridge!
Great giveaway!
Mango takes the cake for me! Especially frozen on a stick.. mmm!
hmmmm I love mangos plain and nectarines cut up in greek yogurt!
I love red raspberries in Greek yogurt.
All time favorite fruit is strawberries and I like them sliced and in a bowl 🙂
Love mango! Cut, open and eat with a spoon!
Fav fruit is apple and love to eat it in a cheese ‘dilla which I learned from YOU! 🙂
I love apples dipped in peanut butter, dark chocolate dreams, or nutella. LOVE.
Bananas are my all time favourite FOOD, but they have to be over-ripe ( I know it’s weird). Freezing them and dipping them in cinnamon almond butter is pretty amazing, but I will eat them anyway.
