5/20 Playing the Field
Happy Meatless Monday friends.
Over the weekend I bought a package of Field Roast Wild Mushroom deli slices. I had never had them so I thought I would give them a go. I knew I had a busy week and thought..these could come in handy. This afternoon in haste and hunger I decided that tonight was Sandwiches For Dinner Night. Depending on how busy my Summer becomes, it could potentially become a weekly holiday.
Field Roast makes vegan meats using seitan, which is made from vital wheat gluten. They use all natural ingredients and very few of them. I have found that the longer I have been vegan, the more I have been moving away from long ingredient lists, even on vegan products. Field Roast creates their products without using unrecognizable ingredients and that tastes good to me.
The deli slices come in three flavors, Lentil Sage, Wild Mushroom and Smoked Tomato. We choose the Wild Mushroom because it sounded exotic and I could envision it in a wrap with peppery arugula and hummus. My vision came true this evening when I wrapped it in a whole wheat wrap with hummus, cucumbers and arugula. 
It was my post workday, post bike ride sandwich for dinner and it was sensational; exactly what I needed. It has been a long day and like many of you, sometimes I just need to get it done.
Having high quality vegan deli slices in the fridge was like my hippie version of going through the drive thru. If the drive thru served food that fueled my body and mind while caring for the planet and all of its residents than yup…it was just like that. Field Roast crafts foods that taste great and are easy to use.
Their deli slices were a fantastic find and made this Meatless Monday possible. Even when I would rather be on my bike than in the kitchen, I still have to eat and when it is this easy to make it meatless, why wouldn’t I try?
On the Field Roast site you can type in your zip for locations that sell their products in your town. If you have not yet tried their Hazelnut En Croute ….it will blow your mind.
Have a delicious day.
