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!

Sliced, fresh, ripe mango.
Watermelon! It just screams summer! Love eating it on a hot day pool side! 🙂
My fav are mangos! Almost like dessert!
Honeycrisp apples with a peanut butter, cinnamon and honey combo to dunk!
Cantaloupe…with a little splenda or sweet n low!! YUMMY!!!
Bananas are my favorite…and strawberries too!
p.s. got my bake sale package today–Thank you!!
Ooh… it changes with the season. I might have to say watermelon? Preferably eaten in large bellyache makin’ amounts 🙂
My all time favorite fruit(s) is 1) Watermelon because I can eat and eat and eat and not feel guilty b/c it’s so much water! It’s also very refreshing. and b) Banana because you can make so many things with them!
It’s a toss up between strawberries and bananas, so I eat them together!
I love raspberries and they are excellent in my yogurt with flax. YUM. 🙂
My favorite fruit is watermelon, and I love it plain or on frozen yogurt!
I like orange slices sprinkled with coconut 🙂
I love peaches. I just eat them plain, but they have to be juicy.
I love apples! Pairing them with peanut butter is a big plus!
Frozen mango. I microwave it and then cover it with greek yogurt and assorted toppings like Kashi cereal and flax meal. And a spoonful of honey or peanut butter! Yum. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Mango in a smoothie is the way to go!!
Wild blueberries – we pick them at our summer home in Canada every summer. I’m not sure whether the rigors of picking berries for hours makes them taste so good, or whether they are actually just better when you pick them yourself, but they taste amazing in everything especially my mom’s muffins. Nothing says summer like homemade blueberry muffins fresh out of the oven!
Big, tart green apples with honey or peanut butter…OR BOTH!
I love ALL kinds of berries 🙂 And my favorite way to enjoy it is to combine blueberries, strawberries, vanilla yogurt on a honey graham crackers (trust me on this) and create a yummy fruit ‘pizza’ slice as dessert! I swear, it’s so great- and a pretty nutritious treat I might add!! Perfect for lent when giving up chocolate!!
Of course, chocolate covered strawberries always works too 🙂
I love apples! I could eat them for every meal.
My favorite way to enjoy them is raw, nothing else added
My favorite fruit is watermelon and my favorite way to eat it… well, by demolishing a whole fullgrown watermelon by myself! Hey, it gets hot in the summer and I get thirsty for melon water!
Blueberries with pudding mix, cool whip, flax seed, and wheat germ. It sounds so strange but it’s sooo yummy 🙂
I love apples and I love when they are dipped in caramel and chocolate covered in salty peanuts!
Hard to pick, but I think it would be raspberries or watermelon, just plain!
I love bananas with peanut butter on a bagel!!
GREEN GRAPES!! Awesome frozen!
My favorite fruit has to be bananas: either tossed in with yogurt and granola… or with peanut butter on a thomas’ english muffin
I am such an apple person, but I also eat a lot of bananas. Watermelons, when they are perfect, are my absolute favorite though! Or maybe blueberries! A ripe plum is also great. Oh man, I can’t pick a favorite-I absolute LOVE fruit!
i love all fruit (except papaya, ew) but i guess a simple banana or apple or cold orange from the fridge are some of my classic favorites!
Loveeee the bananas sliced up on dessert pizza.. wheat crust, nutella sauce, chopped bananas, sprinkled pralines, and mini marshmallows..you must try this!

Fresh picked blueberries are the best and I love them mixed in a bowl with sour cream and a little sugar sprinkled on top. Sounds weird but it’s fantastic!
Mmm blueberries rock my world! However during the summer, Watermelon is where it’s at!
I love apples! They go with everything!
Blueberries straight from the bush!
Grapes, frozen solid! Seriously, if I could somehow live off of them, I would. SO DELICIOUS.
I think I could live off bananas, apples, & peanut butter

My favorite fruit is guava. Since it is hard to find fresh guava, I’ll try most anything made with guava.
I love strawberries and eat them on my Cheerios every morning!
I love MANGO! Especially in mango avocado breakfast pudding!
I can’t get enough on frozen grapes! Seriously, how are they so good?
