Kathy, it’s true that most foods are pretty wilted by the end of the day, unless you can keep them pretty cold–for example, in a separate pack.

Hannah, is it really OK to refrigerate food that has been stored in an insulated totebag for hours? I struggle with this regarding the leftovers from my children’s school lunches. I pack them in an insulated container, always with an ice equivalent that keeps the food nice and cold. But, I always throw out any remains, other than whole fruit or a packaged granola bar, etc. I always worry that the temperature hasn’t been consistently cold enough over those hours to be able to refrigerate again.

You’re right, meatballs are good cold and easy to prepare in advance. Thanks!

What about meatballs?
I love meatballs and you can grate some potatoes and onions and mix that with the mince and they really taste just as good when cold. and you can even add lentils my neighbor love to do that
