Plan for Team Leader!

April is the month I have decided to try to promote to a Wildtree Team Leader!! I need your help!! I have new ideas and HUGE goals, and I want everyone who has ever heard of Wildtree, tasted Wildtree, bought products from Wildtree to chime in.

I need you to think of something you really like about Wildtree, and tell me whether you would like to join Wildtree as a representative, or host a party this month!! It's simple, healthy, and a fun way to enjoy the night with some friends, drinks, and good food!!

I really need everyone's help because I can't reach my goals without Y-O-U!! :)

BURGER TIME!!

Now I KNOW everyone loves burgers. The bigger the better for me. I have fallen in love with the Wildtree Rancher Steak Rub, and I use it for my steaks, and in my raw burger meat.
There are many different ways to make a burger taste amazing while still keeping it healthy, the wildtree way.
- Ranch burgers

-Blue cheese teriyaki burgers

-Wildtree agave BBQ burgers

-Sweet & savory pineapple burgers

-Smokey Chipotle burgers

-Chili cheese burgers


While shaping my hamburg into burgers, I add some Wildtree rancher steak rub, and then add my wonderful choice of the day.

For this particular day, I used A-1 steak sauce and some Wildtree ranch. I mix about equal parts in a bowl, and add it to my bun as my "special sauce" (a wonderful idea from my other half) Then add my blue cheese to the middle of my burger (and a little on top because I can't help myself)

Once cooked and ready, reward yourself by enjoying every last bite!

ENJOY :)

Wildtree balsamic vinagrette salad

Simple!!! Yet DELISH!

All you will need for this is all of your favorite salad necessities. For mine, I used:
*black olives

*baby spinach as my lettuce
*bell peppers (all colors will make it prettier)
*chick peas
*chicken
*mozarella balls (or cut up pieces)





Here's the secret... marinate the chicken in Wildtree balsamic vinagrette sauce... AND use it as your salad dressing :) TA-DAH!!
It's that easy and you have a beautiful, healthy, yet delicious meal..

Healthy Version of Macaroni Salad

I decided to use what I had in the fridge with either rice or pasta. I chose whole wheat elbow macaroni because I felt I was in need of some pasta tonight. :)

What you need:
Fresh asparagus
Fresh spinach
1 can of diced tomatoes
1-2 cups of whole wheat elbow macaroni
2-3 tbs of Wildtree roasted garlic grapeseed oil
1 pinch of Wildtree scampi blend
1 pinch of Wildtree hearty spaghetti sauce blend
2-3 pinches of Wildtree garlic and herb blend
1 tsp of garlic

Boil water. While water is boiling, add grapeseed oil and asparagus and garlic to skillet. When it starts to turn bright green, add spinach to start wilting with some garlic and herb blend. When water is boiling, add macaroni and cook per box instructions. Once pasta is almost done, add diced tomatoes, scampi blend, hearty spaghetti sauce blend, and a little more garlic and herb blend. Drain pasta. Add all of ingredients together.
Add some low fat mozzarella cheese and EAT!!

Chili on Game Night

I decided to make chili, salsa, and dill dip for the Superbowl tonight. Everything came out awesome!! Instead of using chili seasoning (which I didn't have) I tried my own version.
1lb of ground turkey
1 can of white beans
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of grillin' bourbon beans
1 can black beans
1 can diced tomatoes with garlic
1-2 tsp of Wildtree fajita seasoning
1-2 tsp of Wildtree cajun seasoning
1-2 tsp of hearty spaghetti sauce seasoning

Brown turkey in skillet, then add all ingredients to slow cooker for 4hours on high or 8 hours on low.
When finished, add mozarella cheese or mexican mix (depending on preference)

Fajita Night!

So tonight was a simple, laid back (no food in the house) kind of night. I had some ground beef, diced tomatoes, black beans and some cheese. Luckily I had a few tortillas left over as well. I decided to brown up the meat, drain the black beans and tomatoes, add a few teaspoons of the Wildtree fajita seasoning, 1/4 cup of water. I made it into a fajita and put some light sour cream on top and magic!! Easy, uneventful, non picture-worthy meal for two. :)

Next time I am going all out with refried beans and pinto beans and rice... Wildtree garlic and herb rice anyone?

Tsatsiki pork with asian ginger plum rice and vegetables

My inspiration to start Wildtree was born at the first party I went to in December. The impulse to make a blog of all the recipes I create probably came from the movie "Julie and Julia". When it comes to cooking, I have never been the overly excited chef. I have a hard time coming up with new ideas. I was always good with the basic meals, usually including some sort of pasta, but when I made the decision to start eating healthier, I had to come up with a better, more exciting plan.
The idea to make a record of all the recipes I come up with has gotten me excited about turning a new leaf. A way to force me to think of something new, delicious, and healthy.
Tonight was one of those nights where I was thawing out and marinating some pork loins, and trying to figure out what the hell I was going to make with it. I had some rice, and things I had bought to make a very large salad. The nights where there is no real plan, are usually the best nights... whether we are talking about cooking or not!

What you need for this recipe:
1-2lb pork loin
Wildtree Tsatsiki seasoning
All natural Wildtree grapeseed oil
Long grain white rice
Portabella mushrooms, chopped
Large bag of spinach
One bag carrot sticks
1 Cucumber
1 Lemon
Wildtree Asian Ginger Plum Dressing

Marinate the pork in Tsatsiki seasoning and some grapeseed oil for 12 hours.
Start to cook the rice. Use 1 1/2 cups of water per each cup of rice. (Use 1-2 cups of rice)
After about 5 minutes, use some grapeseed oil in the bottom of a large frying pan. Cook the pork in the frying pan on medium low. Use the juice from the lemon to squeeze onto the pork while it's cooking.
When pork and rice are finished, take pork off to rest. Drain juices from frying pan, and use the same pan to cook the spinach, mushrooms, carrot sticks, and cucumber. Once the spinach is wilted and everything has been cooked, add rice to the pan. When everything is blended, add the Asian Ginger Plum dressing to the mixture. Add pork on top or cut up and mix in. Bon Appetit!!
