My husband says that figuring out what he’s going to pack in his lunch is one of the most frustrating parts of his day. Me? I have no problem packing up last nights leftovers, adding a piece of fruit, some carrots or other portable veggies, and possibly a treat. In fact, when I make my favorite meals, I always think about leftovers for lunch. I long ago abandoned actual brown bags; I almost always use some type of reusable cloth bag with reusable containers and silverware. I’d been coveting a stylish reusable lunch container for quite some time, but passed on buying one, citing it as something I didn’t really need.
So when the folks at Healthy Kitchenware sent me a stainless steel food carrier for a product review, and offered one for a reader, I jumped on the opportunity. The containers are all steel, no plastic, are compact, easily portable, and have three separate compartments that join together with a latch. It’s the perfect size for a small salad, sandwich, and a treat, each in its own compartment.
Want to win a free food carrier like the one pictured here? All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below answering the following question:

A former high school teacher, I'm currently a part-time writer/full-time doctoral student at the University of St. Thomas in the Twin Cities, studying leadership in education from a critical pedagogy perspective along with public policy. On the green side, I'm interested in local food and agriculture (Iowa girl, born and raised), sustainability education, DIY projects, and grassroots activism. I'm slowly turning my South City, St Louis home into an urban farmstead. On the hoping-to-be-greener side, I love reading, yoga, soccer, music, backpacking, knitting, pop culture and trivia, my Tuesday Night Dinner Club, traveling, Guitar Hero, dive bars, and sitting on front porches with my husband and a cold beer. I came to Green Options via a post on Sustainablog,working the St Louis angle to get Jeff to let me in. I have a personal blog chronicling (what else?) life in South St. Louis. Follow me on Twitter!

Best content I ever seen. Huge amounts of live feeds, high payouts. Realy cool.
I have two favorite lunches:
1. Homemade hummus and baba ghanouj with bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, and crackers; a side of yogurt with homemade granola.
2. Leftover soup of any kind, but especially tortilla chicken soup with chips and cheese.
