Brown Bag Challenge
We're teaming up with fellow food bloggers to host a Brown-Bag Challenge, a month-long initiative to eat consciously and save money by packing a lunch each weekday instead of eating out. Join us here and share what you're eating with FN Healthy Eats on Facebook and Twitter with the hashtag #brownbag. Are you up for the challenge?

No need for Earth-polluting plastic when you’ve got a furoshiki. Based on Japanese tradition, the double-sided fair trade fabric is twisted, knotted and folded into a chic bag available in a variety of bright patterns. You're set for lunch on the go, in style. Find it here. Need a lunch recipe to get started? Try Ellie Krieger's Easy Chicken-Mushroom Quesadillas.
