My own vegan lunch box

Sure, the most famous vegan lunchbox is the book by Jennifer McCann.  But, really, all my lunch boxes are vegan. And I have several ... I have two laptop lunch boxes, a lunch sense lunchbox, and a few other random boxes that I've collected over time.  But my best lunchbox came into my life last Christmas.  I'm not sure why it took me so long to post about it here, but it's better late than never.

* I seriously love argyle. Who doesn't? Weirdos. That's who. *
My mom's big joke when she gave me this lunch box was "No one will steal your lunch now!"  Little did she know, some wise-ass in the lunch room actually asked me if I was vegan or if the label on my box was just to stop people from stealing my lunch.  Apparently people don't know how delicious vegan lunch can be.  I can't help but think that if the people at work peeked into my lunchbox even just once, they would be jealous of my DELICIOUS vegan lunch. 

Lunch at work usually consists of leftovers from the night before (or sometimes a few nights before .. it's hard to cook for just one!).  This particular lunch was leftovers of some vegan lentil loaf, mashed potatoes, and peas.  With just a few seconds in the microwave (okay, about 60 seconds), this meal was ready to go straight into my belly.

I really love to take my lunch to work in this box.  I've had a few people ask about it while I was waiting for the microwave, and it's even gotten some interesting "how would I make this" sort of questions. 
* It's better than a Hungry Man meal! *
Do you use a lunchbox or brown bag it (or eat lunch out everyday, Mr. Moneypants ...)?  What do you usually have for lunch?  What do you do to make sure no one steals your lunch?

  1. I pack a lunch almost every day, and use a polka-dotted bag from Built. That neoprene bag will last for-EVER, I swear! I often have leftovers, too, as I'm not much of a sandwich fan, and don't often have enough time to eat a salad.

    1. I have a BYO brand polka-dotted neoprene bag! It's a little small, but it's good for a smaller lunch. It does seem super durable - I like it a lot.

  3. That is a great bag! I have a black zippered box that has a place for an ice pack- very non-descript...
    I'm lucky to be home most days for lunch though- and then the only ones who try to steal lunch are the cat and the dog. :)
    Argyle....yes! Especially in socks.

  4. I live two miles from work, so I go home every day for lunch. I cook enough on the weekends to have leftovers. Today, I'm going to have vegan minestrone soup with a large salad. Yum!!

  5. that's one awesome lunch bag!

    totally made me laugh that someone asked you if the eats were really vegan or if the bag just said it to discourage others from eating your lunch. ha! it's a shame people don't know how gloriously good vegan eats can be. i pack a cooler with my lunch every day when i work, although i live close to home but use that time to run home and walk our dog. most of my lunches are gluten-free wraps. i bring a bunch of brown rice tortillas and different fixins throughout the week. like hummus 'n veggies, chick-un with jellied cranberry sauce & spinach, eggless salad, tu-no salad, etc. it's fun to change it up most days!

  6. Love the lunch bag! My lunch bag is covered in cupcakes and is probably for a 5 year old, but I like it. :) I usually bring leftovers too!

  7. I eat lunch at home so no cute lunch bag for me. :-) Lunches are usually leftovers too - a lot of food is actually better the next day - the flavors are more developed. Yum, yum, yum!

  11. Someone stole my lunch at American Eagle. I had the bright idea to put a picture of myself on the fridge licking whatever I brought that day.
