Wildtree

I'm sure most of you have heard that I've added to my plate again.  Yes, I know, I have plenty to do, but I LOVE WILDTREE!!!  

For those of you that haven't heard of Wildtree...
it's delicious ORGANIC, ALL NATURAL food that makes cooking a breeze!  Plus, it's less expensive than Whole Foods and even the regular grocery store!  ALL of the products are HEALTHY! No preservatives, chemicals, additives, dyes, GMOs, or artificial anything! Everything is low sodium and low sugar, and yet tastes great!  They also have numerous products that are gluten/dairy/soy free!  Who doesn't love the idea of quick, easy, healthy cooking that's cost effective AND delicious?!

So... what is Wildtree exactly?  Well, the best way to describe Wildtree is "the center of the grocery store".  If you've ever heard the motto "shop the perimeter of the store to save money".... then you know that while that sounds great, the convenient, time-saving, and also unhealthy 'dinner in a box' options are located in "the center of the grocery store".  It's really tempting to just grab that stuff.  Wildtree is all about replacing the "unhealthy" stuff from the middle of the grocery store with something healthy, but without compromising convenience, flavor, or time-savings!  

Wildtree offers dressings, marinades, infused grapeseed oils, culinary spice blends, breads, one-pot meals, desserts, the list goes on.... all to go with your meats, veggies, and grains of choice.  Think "rice-a-roni" and "hamburger helper" ---- only HEALTHY and WAY better tasting!  You choose your "rice or protein" and Wildtree provides the seasoning and recipe.  We have a replacement for all of the things you are already buying, like taco seasoning, hearty spaghetti blend, alfredo extraordinaire, fajita seasoning, meatloaf mix.... you get the idea.

One of my favorite things about Wildtree - Freezer Meal Workshops!!  Ten meals in 3 hours or less for about $3/serving!  Healthy, tasty and convenient - can't beat that!!

Another week gone

As you can see, I'm off track.  I did well keeping up the first couple of weeks and I'm just not sure where this past week has gone. 
We started out the week with Pioneer Woman's Spicy Dr. Pepper Shredded Pork.  It was a hit, especially if you got one of the peppers, then it was a HOT hit! 
Monday night we had Tuna melts.  How many of you are fans of tuna?  Well, several years ago, John and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in Maui.  One of my favorite meals was a tuna melt.  The tuna was flaked, mixed with mayo and seasonings, topped with swiss cheese and then grilled on multi-grain bread.  It was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had!  Now, some of you may say it was because of the location in which I ate the sandwich.  This may have had something to do with it, but we've been making them at home the same way since.  This week we chose to serve it on sourdough bread, nevertheless, it was fabulous!! 
For the next few days, we all had leftovers or whatever we could find in the fridge.  Last night, we decided to use the grill!  It had been a beautiful day out, so it was definitely a night for fresh grilled burgers, tots on the side!  You just can go wrong with anything on the grill!  I'm so glad that warmer weather is around the corner! 
As life will be getting a bit crazier with the kids schedules now (warmer weather = volleyball, dance, track, more volleyball and horseback) you'll notice only a few scheduled dinners a week.  We usually fill in the other nights with leftovers, sandwiches, cereal, etc. 
Here's this weeks plan:
Pizza
Balsamic Chicken Noodle Bowl
Huevos Rancheros
I'll fill you in as the week goes...  Happy Cooking!

Weekly Meal Plan Sun Feb 24

We did pretty good last week following our meal plan with the exception of Friday.  Instead of pizza on Friday we ended up going out.  We had so much leftover that I didn't cook the roast planned for Thursday, but that's what's nice about it being in the freezer - I'll just move it to another time.  Here's our list for this week, hopefully it will inspire your weekly menu:

Sunday - Skillet Lasagna
Monday - Sauerkraut & Ribs
Tuesday - Turkey Sloppy Joes
Wednesday - Leftovers
Thursday - Hawaiian Crepes (Take me to the Islands!! and out of this weather)
Friday - Papa Murphy's
Saturday - Crockpot Picadillo

I haven't been to the store except for the balsamic vinegar (and bread) on Wed.   John is going to get some milk and hamburger buns (for our Tuesday meal), hopefully he won't get extras. :)  Happy Cooking to you all!!

Planning is KEY!

For those of you that know me you know that I love being in the kitchen.  I enjoy cooking, baking, etc.  Since we keep a pretty crazy schedule around here, I really have to plan.  I have a lot of people ask me, "How do you do it?".  Well, it really comes down to that....having a plan, sticking to the plan (which isn't always easy) and keeping everyone happy.  I thought it might be fun to document and see how well, we really can stick to a plan.  I've never been really great with budgeting. Don't get me wrong, I do ok, but not with a strick budget.  I'm going to attempt limiting my grocery trips and see how we do.  It might be tough for me and the family, but we'll see!  So, here's this weeks menu plan:

Sunday - Hamburgers with coleslaw
Monday - Hawaiian Chicken Chili (a recipe John's been hoping to try)
Tuesday - leftover night
Wednesday - Mediterranean Pasta Toss, thanks to Shrinking Kitchen (see blog list)
Thursday - Roast with mashed potatoes and green beens
Friday - Papa Murphy's (gotta have some pizza!)
Saturday - OUT! (Especially since it's going to be a busy day.)

I'll try and post some pictures and updates as the week goes.  So what are your dinner plans for the week?
