Healthy Homemade Options to Replace Deli Lunch Meats

Recently my brother in law e-mailed me an article about the health dangers of eating processed meats.  The article talked about the link between cancer and the consumption of hot dogs and lunch meats.

About Me



I am a suburban wife and mother of 2 really neat boys, we live in South Florida with our dog, fish, and occasional guest hamster. I grew up in California where kids were indoctrinated into the eco-friendly movement starting in elementary school. I actually remember a lesson in 2nd grade that included role playing of picking up litter in the park and singing a song about not wanting to be a litterbug! Those lessons really stuck with me and now as an adult I find myself looking for ways to lighten my family’s impact on the earth. I don’t have a big budget but I am on an adventure, an ecoventure if you will, to find all of the ways that my family can become greener. I invite you to follow along as we learn.
