With back to school season now in our midst, it's time to start thinking about really simple lunch ideas. Whether you have kids going to school, or you are a student attending post-secondary, you need quick, easy, and inexpensive recipes to get you through the fall. When I was a kid, tuna salad was one of my favorite lunches and I still make it often today. Instead of using bread, I've loaded it into a red bell pepper for added nutritional value and crunch.
