Month: October 2012

So you’ve decided that you want the convenience of pre-sliced deli meats but you don’t want all of the additives and other “yucky” stuff that can be found in many of the prepackaged meats. At the same time, you don’t want to sacrifice taste when looking for a good alternative. This is where Applegate Organic and Natural Meats enter the picture.

Applegate Natural Meats are humanely raised without the use of antibiotics, and are free of nitrates, nitrites, and other artificial ingredients. They don’t sacrifice flavor or texture when providing a healthier alternative to traditional packaged meats on the market.

Now, if you’re like me and live in an area without a bunch of health food stores, you may find the meat a bit difficult to find. In fact, you may learn that you need to pick up the meat when you’re visiting a location where they have places like Whole Foods, Sprouts…. (Our local stores carried a few Applegate products, but they did not carry the natural meats.) You can check out the store locator to find a retailer near you. On a positive note, when you do locate them, you’ll be pleased to know that they are gluten free. In fact, many of the Applegate products are gluten free.

Of course, since we’re gluten free, we often find ourselves taking our lunches on the go which means I need to find easy lunches/snacks for on the road. We enjoy having things like meat, cheese, and crackers with veggies and/or fruit when we’re on the go. If I get a little more creative, Munchkin may find herself having a fun lunch like the Mouse Egg Salad pictured above.
