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!

Some day I need to have a drawer like yours. I have a tendency to eat it if it’s there so I’ve trained myself to just bring what I’m planning to eat. (Almost had trouble today with that because I was super hunger…no idea why…and the only thing available was candy that I keep for rewards for my students…I resisted though!)
I love it when my snack drawer comes to my rescue!! 🙂
Bananas are also my go-to favorite fruit. I especially love them in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and in ice cream sundaes!
