Healthy Alternatives- Cucumber sammy'

As some of you know, my husband was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer which many of you can imagine rocked our world over night.  While Adam has been super strong through this entire thing, we have become very pro-active in continuing our healthy lifestyle.  A friend of Adam's had informed him that cancer cells feed on carbs and refined sugar, so we are trying to be extra good about eliminating it as much as we can.  I won't lie, we have our cheat moments when we like to crush a large pizza.

I know a lot of people are trying to cut carbs out of their lives as much as they can too, so I figured I would share some recent things that have been on the menu.

Today's lunch:

Cucumber sammy's!

All you need is a cucumber, tomato, turkey bacon, turkey, cheese.  Basically all your favorite sandwich items, just substitute the bread for cucumbers.  Today I made us two different kinds:

1) Cucumber, bacon, tomato and veganaise

2) Cucumber, turkey, cheese, mustard and veganaise


Balsamic would be a good flavor burst if you don't like mayo or mustard.  Next time I'm going to throw some avocado on there as well!  Happy eating!
