Update: Giveaway is over.
Have you seen the Mario Batali Lunchbags line? OMG, they are THE most stylish, functional lunch bags ever! I recently received the Mario Batali Lunch Bag (The Crew Tote) in this expresso color and I absolutely LOVE 
IT!!!! Not only is it THE most stylish lunch bag I’ve had, it’s also the most functional one. Some quick features about this one that you’re gonna love.
- * Two compartments – insulated and non insulated
- * Insulated lining has an insulated lining and keeps food and drinks warm or cool.
- * Easy to wipe lining
- * Back sleeve slides over rolling luggage handle for easy travel
- * Top compartment is non-insulated and secures all carry on items
So I tested this out first when I sent my little man to his wello’s house for a stay. I was able to pack his pajamas, diapers, baby wipes, toys in the top compartment and his milk, bananas, jello, and other snacks in the bottom insulated part. It was AWESOME! I looked cool to…..heehee.
Everyone is trying to save money, become more healthy and more eco-friendly these days & these lunch bags are a simple way to help you go forward on that path. You can not only save yourself the dough from eating non-stop at fastfood but you can also give yourself more healthier options by choosing healthy foods from your grocery store and packing those in our lunch bag. And how is eco-friendly? Well heeeellllloooo, you are reusing your bag of course and you are bringing your own food in hopefully reuseable storage containers.
I give these bags 2 thumbs….4 if I had the extra ones and I think you will love them too. So with all that said, I’ve got a nice surprise for you!

I never seem to get tired of a good tuna fish salad sandwitch. I like to add artichoke hearts to the salad. Thanks for the contest.
While my children like to eat the same cold cuts most of the time (roast beef or turkey), I like to mix it a little by changing the type of bread I make the sandwich on…white, rolls, pitas, wraps, etc. It makes the sandwich a little more interesting.
I add in avocado in sandwiches instead of mustard or mayo. I also like to add sprouts and replace baby spinach for lettuce.
I like to put a divided container with veggies on one side,dip on
the other.It helps with them eating their veggies and I also will add food coloring to dip to make it look cool.Sometimes I will put
a note saying thanks for eating your lunch today!
I love making different themed wraps: I make a bbq wrap with red beans and rice and pork bbq, a thai chicken wrap with peanut sauce, and a tuna fish wrap with cucumbers and shredded lettuce.
Thanks for the giveaway!

I like to freeze Chili or soup into single portions, thaw them out the night because then heat it up. Perfect and easy lunch.
I like the tuna ina foil pouch.
mm i love turkey dinners because theat means yummy turkey sandwiches the next day!
i like making different wraps…like a jap one, with rice and terriaki chicken, a thai one with thai noodles peanuts and green curry chicken and a western one with buffalo chicken
I always try to make extra during dinner so we have enough for lunch. A favorite is Sunday’s baked chicken dinner. I usually roast two whole chickens so that we have enough to make sandwiches or wraps with. Stock plenty of salad greens and we’re good to go.
Shredded chicken over salad or pasta and drizzled with Asian sesame dressing and no one will ever know you’re eating leftovers
