    Love that store — and leftovers (lasagna, enchiladas – but those are more thermos items). For the tiffin? I’d pack some tabbouleh, hummos, and stuffed grape leaves, and then some fruit on another level. Got my mouth watering already thinking about lunch!

    that thing looks so cool! ok, well, my actual favorite lunch is a green smoothie, but obviously that goes in a bottle. so to fill this little contraption i’d go for: a quinoa salad, chilled steamed kale, and bbq tempeh 🙂

    Carrot sticks with peanut butter, an apple, and rice balls (made with fresh-cooked brown rice and a mixture of shredded nori and sesame seeds)–yum!

    LOVE this lunch “box”. I would pack this for myself, my husband or my son! Fill one tier with lots of fresh fruit, the second tier with veggies and cheese, and the bottom tier with a leftover main course from the night before! Perfect!

    Lately, I’ve rediscovered the genius of old fashioned peanut butter and jelly, especially when using green-favorable local, homemade breads and peanut butter. (Still need the homemade jelly.)

    MMMM….good. Takes me back to little kid school day lunches like mama used to make.

    I LOVE this lunch box. I teach Art at an elementary school and this year we are pledging to go green. I just did a lesson on eco-friendly lunches and I can’t wait to show this to all 774 of my kids. They will LOVE it.

    As for my lunch I would put bruchetta on one layer, fresh fruit on another, and a little chocolate on the top.

    We pack our lunches in reusable containers and have a really cute lunchbox that came with it’s own silverware and salt and pepper compartment!
    I love to make shredded chicken taco filling with lots of cilantro and have a cold lunch of chicken tacos with cilantro lime sour cream or guacamole. I freeze water in my reusable water bottle to keep my lunch cool and so I have cold water to drink at lunch time. And of course, a cloth napkin is a must. People always say “ooooh, aren’t you fancy..” No, I just like reusable napkins, thanks!

    During the summer months, a fresh salad with veggies from the farmers’ market and some feta or bocconcini cheese. During the winter, leftover chili or shepherd’s pie. We free lunch-size portions in reusable containers so they’re ready to pack!

    I would put cucumber slices and tomato wedges with a splash of vinegar, a dash of sugar, and dill on one layer…
    A few bananas and natural peanut butter on another layer… maybe some apple slices.

    And on the final layer, perhaps some quinoa with broccoli and diced chicken 🙂

    This lunch box (tin?) is so stinking cool

    My favorite lunch- A turkey sandwich on everything bread, with lettuce, pickles, lots of onions, Italian dressing, pepper Jack cheese, and cucumbers. With a side of mom’s macaroni noodles and tomato sauce. Also, a refreshing sweet tea. YUUMMMM

    I lobe the box!
