Lunch: It's Not Just for Kids

It’s back-to-school time, but you don’t have to be a kid to appreciate a good brown-bag lunch. Here are some decidedly grown-up meals we’d trade for any day:
Stilton Ploughman's Lunch with Port-Poached Pear Relish [JBF]
Like a Lunchables package...except with Stilton and a spicy relish of Comice pears poached in Port. To brown-bag it, choose a country loaf or a hunk of ciabatta in place of the baguette and pack the relish in a separate container.

Eat their tops as you would any greens—we’re partial to a simple sauté with olive oil and garlic.
The Haul: Sweet potatoes, broccoli rabe, escarole, salad turnips, collard greens, broccoli, and Mutsu and Cameo apples
