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

i LOVE apples. favorite way to eat them are with peanut butter or in an apple pie 🙂
My favorite fruit are grapefruit! I peel them completely out of the skin so its just the juicy flesh yumm!
I love mangos! I love grabbing them by the handful out of the bag from the freezer. So good!
I love bananas, frozen and then whipped in a food processor! Banana whip for the win!
My favorite fruit is banana and I love them in french toast!
All time favorite fruit Bananas sliced up and wedged in between two slices of toast with peanut butter!!!!
Bananas for sure – and my favorite way to enjoy them – peanut butter and banana sandwich!
There is no way I could choose only one favorite fruit- depends on what is is season! However, I do eat a banana with my oatmeal every morning and an apple with peanut butter every day for a snack!
Mmm… I go through phases with fruit.
Currently right now I LOVE dried cherries and apricots. And I enjoy them sweet and straight from the bag 😉
Coconut!!! In any way, shape or form. Although, the best way to eat coconut is on a beach….in Maui…*sigh*
You give the best stuff away! Also, pineapple is the best fruit. Can’t eat enough of it!
My favorite fruit is probably watermelon and I love it in martinis.
Probably not the healthy answer you were looking for. 🙂
pears….fresh! mmm
I love eatting raspberries topped with some whipped cream! Ugh, I want some right now!!
I love blueberries- straight from the container 🙂
honeycrisp apples the size of my head, straight up. no slicing necessary!
I love raspberries, especially in some fro yo 🙂
Rasberries have been at the top of my fav fruit list since I was a kid and lived in a place where you could pick and eat them right off the bush. Nowadays I like them on cereal or oatmeal or in yogurt.
Fresh pinapple, sometimes grilled with ice cream yum!
I love apples so much and love to make apple crisp. Mmmm!
I’m a mango loooover. in salads, yog, and cottage cheese. YUM!
I love grapes and I love eating them frozen!
strawberries….dunk in sourcream and then brown sugar (weird combination, i know!) but delish!
All time favorite fruit is apples! I love sliced apples with cinnamon and PB.
I love bananas! I love to slice them up and put them on top of my oatmeal with some cinnamon and walnuts! Definitely a morning staple for me!
Chose just one favourite fruit? I couldn’t possibly… But I do enjoy nectarines, cherries and raspberries, watermelon quite a lot. Usually just plain but occasionally along with some whipped cream…
Strawberries with vanilla ice cream – yum! 🙂
I LOVE fuji apples sauteed with cinnamon! Ooo-wee!
Cantaloupe! It’s one of the most refreshing fruits I know of, and I love it in alone or in a fruit salad on a hot summer day! Also, it taste great on certain types of ice cream.
I love kiwis and love to put them on pinkberry raspberry froyo.
I would have to say mango! I buy it frozen from costco and I love eating when it is half thawed out – natures candy at it’s best! Gala apples are a close second though 🙂
Apples, and there is no better way to eat them than sliced up and smothered in peanut butter!
I LOVE a big fresh honeycrisp apple. And if not just sliced alone, I love dipping it in greek yogurt!
I LOVE pineapple and they are great in every which way! Frozen in a smoothie, grilled with a scoop of nutmeg flavored ice cream, dunked in a chocolate fondue or straight off the cutting board just to name a few 🙂
I love cherries! I love just eating them and trying to leave the pit on the stem. It’s a game I used to play with my Gramps. It’s hard, but fun!!!
Blueberries in Blueberry Muffins! Partly because of the smell when they’re baking!
I love gala apples!
I loooove mangoes! I think they are best with a sprinkle of lime juice and a dash of chili pepper. But they are also good dried, in milkshakes, in salad…
Grapes… frozen! to die for 🙂
It’s so difficult to pick just one! But if I had too, I would probably choose raspberries! My Mom makes a raspberry cake with lady fingers, it’s too die for!!
Pinapple <3. Goes great in a smoothie, in my oatmeal, on top of a PB bagel ;), & on top of my ice cream =D
Watermelon! Just cut up and plain 🙂
My #1 favorite fruit is fresh pineapple. The best way is just eating some freshly cut chunks with a side of vanilla non-fat yogurt.
I love blackberries and blueberries! especially with some greek yogurt
I love mangos. Straight up, to the face.
Mmm, peaches! And though there are about a million ways to enjoy them, I like to eat them raw, just after they’re sliced, while sitting on the lawn on a brilliantly sunny day. Yum!
I LOVE strawberries! plain is the best way, but also in smoothies, sprinkled with a little sugar, covered in chocolate, in pies, in muffins, on cake, and the list goes on. I love them!
I love pineapple! My favorite way to to eat it is fresh! When I was in Hawaii, I became addicted to the pineapple smoothies you can buy on the side of the road.
I love blueberries! I’ll eat them on most anything, oatmeal, salad, pie, muffins, smoothies, and will even heat them up and pour them over ice cream!
I loveeee grapes!! And my favorite way to eay them is frozen!! Grape Popcicle anyone??
