Remote Freezer Meal Workshop

Tried something fun and new yesterday. Had a Freezer Meal Workshop via facetime on my Iphone with my friend in New Jersey. Jenny hooked up her Iphone to her TV, so her guests could see me better. It was so much fun doing the workshop here while they were in Jersey.
I did my prep, all bags numbered with proteins and ready to add the Wildtree products.
This workshop was the Deliciously Easy, the 10 meals we prepped were:
Pizza Pork Chops
Italian Stuffed Pork Tenderloin
Tuscany Chicken Dinner
Italian Enchilada Stack
Honey Dijon Pecan-Crusted Salmon
Gobble, Gobble Pizza Patties
Spicy Grilled Ranch Chicken
Sausage Taco Soup
Chicken Delight

The products purchased for the workshop are pictured above and after prepping all these meals you still have plenty of product to make many other dishes. 

I didn't freeze all my meals, I cooked the Italian Enchilada Stack dinner, of course it was scrumptious. 

My freezer is full again and ready for another two weeks plus of meals. Just love this concept of never worrying "Whats for dinner" everything is ready for me when I come home just to cook. 

Big smiles from the Jersey gang that participated. 

Thanks to all of you for coming and helping Jenny get her new business started.

Caprese Pasta Mason Jar Salad

This is the greatest idea. Mason Jar salads. I make up 8 once a week so Paul and I can have salad anytime we want. Paul takes them to work for lunch or snack. The recipes call for a quart mason jar, but I use pint jars. I double the recipes then divide it into 6 to 8 pint jars.
Most of us know how time consuming it is to make salads yet we love them. Well here is your way out. The salad is complete with dressing and all, just dump in a bowl and mix it up.

From Aggie Peters who hosted a freezer meal workshop

Thank you!
I have loved everything so far. Thank you for the October cooking recipes. I’m looking forward to making them.
Sincerely,
Aggie Peters


Once you have hosted a workshop or have participated in a workshop, I then send you new recipes for each month that you can make more freezer prepped meals. You will find the ease of prepping these meals so easy and enjoyable. For my self personally I am saving so much money at the grocery store, only buying what I need for a whole week plus in food. Meal planning is so much easier that takes all the thought out of "What's for dinner?". I can't wait to show you how to do these too.

Thanks and enjoy!

Spice cabinet changing!

My whole spice cabinet is changing. Getting rid of the old stuff I used to use and replacing it with all Wildtree Products. Just so awakened by these products and the multitude of uses. And the BEST part no GMO's, no Pesticides, no Insecticides, no Food Dyes, no Preservatives, no Irradiation. WOW!!!

Bottom line for most of use, we all want to have access to better quality food products but they were also so much more expensive.....now you don't have to pay more to get the best.

ENJOY!

Grill Pork Chops and fresh Pineapple with WT Zesty Mustard Sauce

Got a new shipment of Wildtree Products in yesterday, so had to try one of them and I picked the WT  Organic Zesty Mustard Sauce. What delightful flavors of orange juice, apple juice, garlic, ground mustard, cinnamon, cloves, red peppers. I just knew from the flavor it would be great with pork.

For the pork and fresh pineapple, I just basted them both with the WT Zesty Mustard Sauce then put them on the grill, done!

For the green beans and grape tomato's 2 tbsp of WT Garlic Grapeseed oil in a pan with 1 and 1/2 tbsp of WT Hearty Spaghetti Sauce Blend, saute'd for about 4 minutes, done!

Wow everything was bursting with flavor and so fast and simple. You will see a bunch of my cooking right now with grape tomato's as my plant is producing tons of them and they are great.

I tell you I have been cooking for years and have always enjoyed great flavors, these Wildtree products are off the charts! One being I believe due to the natural products they use are better quality and still retain the fresh flavors when fully ripened and no over processing.

Enjoy!

Chiotle Lime Fajitas leftovers

Good Friday morning to all! Thought I would share what I did with the left overs we had from Wednesday nights meal, the Chiotle Lime Fajitas. It took about 15 minutes from start to finish and I couldn't even finish mine as it was so filling and satisfying.
I took the chicken fajitas, which had bell peppers and onions in it, chopped them up into small bite size pieces, then made a blend of the Wildtree Chipotle Lime Blend with sour cream. I had on hand in my fridge romaine lettuce, which I chopped up small pieces, an avocado sliced, grated cheese, some diced jalapenos and some grape tomato's I sliced in half.
A tip on the flour tortillas, I moisten a paper towel and roll my flour tortilla in it, place it in the micro wave for about 15 to 20 seconds. This makes the tortilla very soft and heats it up a bit.
Tossed the chicken fajitas bits in a pan over medium heat for about 3 minutes just to heat.
Spread a couple of tablespoons of the Wildtree Chipotle Lime/sour cream mixture on flour tortilla.
Piled on the rest, grated cheese, chicken fajita bits, sliced grape tomato's, sprinkle of chopped jalapeno's, lettuce.
roll it up and eat.
Easy peasy!
Enjoy!
