Applegate, a supplier of all natural meat products, is pleased to provide parents the option of having all natural deli meats for your back to school lunches.
As part of The Moms Meet Ambassador Program, we tried the Roasted Turkey variety , but in addition to that kind and to ensure that there is something for everyone to like, they also have other varieties some of which include, Black Forest Ham and Genoa Salami.
They are made with only natural ingredients. “Natural” can mean many things, but when you see it on the label of Applegate deli meats, you know the meat inside is guaranteed to be the real deal. The Roasted Turkey Deli Meat that we got from Applegate had these three ingredients; turkey, water, salt. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. No antibiotics and no added nitrates or nitrites.
I LOVE this deli meat, it tastes good. I highly recommend that people who have an interest in serving their family all natural and organic foods try them.
As is with most natural and organic foods though, the price is higher than what I usually spend on sandwich meat, about $1.00 more per package. We don’t eat deli meat a lot, so it’s not too much of a big deal as I’d only buy a package or two at a time anyway, but I can see if you have a large family how that extra dollar could add up if you purchase five or six packs at a time.
Sandwiches are an American lunch box staple, and even if you change up what’s inside the slices of bread it can get old both for the maker and the eater. So here are a few tips for making a creative lunch.
1. Get fun kitchen tools like FunBites and Sandwich Cutters – you can use it to cut up deli meats, bread, cheese and fruit into shapes and/or bite size pieces. These are also great to make ‘lunch kabobs’ alternating the bread, meat and cheese on a skewer.
2. Dip, Dip, Dip – a little container filled with salad dressing, cottage cheese, cream cheese, honey, hummus…whatever! Kids like to dip their food, and they’re more likely to eat raw vegetables or other healthy items if they can dip it before popping it in their mouth!
3. Lunch doesn’t have to be cold – Invest in a stainless steel thermos for you children. Soup, pasta or hot dogs work well for lunches when kept warm in them. It’s a nice change of pace from a sandwich, and in winter they’ll appreciate it on cold days!

A GMO is a Genetically Modified Organism.
An organism is “genetically modified” if its genetic material has been changed in a way that does not occur under natural conditions through cross-breeding or natural recombination.
We never use GMO feed in our Organic program and we try to use non-GMO feed in our Natural program as much as possible. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee 100% non-GMO feed in the Natural program due to an increasingly limited supply.
Also, we don’t use any GMO ingredients in our Organic program.
I learned that non of their products contain MSG which is great as most of my family is allergic to any foods containing it.
