School's back in session, and at the same time, walks to restaurants and outdoor lunches are becoming a summer memory. The Washington Post has some great ideas on making frugal, healthy, fun, and vegan lunches from what you've got handy.

There are a few recipes mixed in where they're needed, too.
Jason's done some thinking on this topic, and his tips on making packed lunches more appealing are worth digging into if you're looking to stop giving Subway so much foot traffic.
