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!

About A Cowboy's Wife
I love to pack some pasta salad, olive salad, fruit, and a piece of crusty bread for lunch. Light but really tasty!
A tofurky sandwich and an apple and chips
homemade chicken or turkey soup
I love Frito pie in the winter. Put the homemade black bean chili in a microwavable container, and the Fritos in another container. Also, fresh cut pineapple is really good on the side.
I am not too creative, but I will take a can of tuna, packets of relish and mayo, and crackers. Top it off with an apple, bananna or orange. Uusally keeps me satisifed til I leave work

ok this isn’t a food item but something I like to add to hubby’s lunch once in awhile- a love note…thanks.
Pack some clementines; always good and easy to eat.
Chicken noodle soup and some crackers. This would be great to keep my soup warm.
If you’ve had a party, it’s kind of sweet to bring party nosh leftovers to work the following Monday for a fun lunch. So maybe fill it up with some hot tapas or other small dish foods.
I love packing a little croissant sandwich (usually ham and cheese–I’ll try to heat it up in the microwave) with some veggies and dip. Great prize!

Sweet
I like to make different shapes of bread and different combos of meats, cheeses and breads.
I love to make sandwiches using leftover garlic bread!
Very nice bags! This giveaway is super!
This is funny but you can put a preheated healthy hotdog (lowfat and no nitrates or preservatives)in a heated thermos and a whole wheat bun in a separate container. Kids love it! I also precut apples and put them in a cool container.
id make a crab meat sandwich and an apple
A twist on the peanut butter banana sandwich- use banana bread for the bread. You have the main course and the dessert in one!
I put left overs from dinner in the reusable plastic containers in my lunch bag
One of my packed lunch tips is to use creative packaging. I like to be creative with anything food safe to keep food items fresh AND offer a neat appearance.
I’ve rolled napkins up and tied with ribbons. Hole punched notes and threaded the note through a ribbon and tied that onto a napkin, utensil set, or to tie the top of a baggy.
Makes a difference:)
