1 russet potato, cut into ¼ inch thick sliced and cooked in boiling water for 5 minutes

1 tablespoon Wildtree Garlic Galore Seasoning Blend 

1 cup shredded cheddar (or any cheese you’d prefer)

6 slices bacon, cooked
4 eggs
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

Break the bacon slices in half and lay on top of the cheese. Crack each egg onto the top of the pizza (try to find a little nook in between the potatoes or bacon so the egg can sit in). Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the whites of the eggs are cooked, yolks will be runny. Cook longer for more cooked eggs. Remove from oven, garnish with chives. Slice and serve with a cup of coffee and enjoy your weekend!

Goulash

Goulash? What is goulash you may ask...well it's one of my husband's favorite go-to meals, or at least he just loves to say the word...goulash! It is a simple, hearty meal of meat, pasta, tomatoes and cheese. This version I found on Cinnamon Spice and Everything Nice has an Italian twist with some veggies added in and it's even better the next day! I highly recommend doubling the recipe to freeze for a busy night.

Guest Chef ~ The Versatile Stir-Fry!

I love a good stiry-fry!
It's quick, easy, delicious and a great way to use up leftovers!
This is another Guest Chef entry from Wild for Wildtree with Yvonne who believes stir-fry is not limited to Asian flavors.

Why oh why do we all think of Asian style food when we hear the term, “stir fry”? Wildtree does have some great Asian style stir fry sauces. I LOVE using the Asian Ginger Plum or the Thai Sesame Sun Butter. Hubby prefers the Kickin Asian Stir Fry Sauce since it is more traditional. But there is so much more that we can do with stir-fry! If you have some sort of protein (beef, pork, chicken, tofu) and/or veggies and some rice, try some of these other varieties of my favorite stir-fries! They are quick and easy (since the meat should be diced whether precooked or raw) and good for ya!
Italian Stir FryGarlic grapeseed oil sautéed chicken (or sausage), mushrooms, onion and diced tomatoes. Combine the tomatoes with some Hearty Spaghetti blend or Garlic Galore prior to adding them to the stir-fry skillet. Serve over Parmesan Rice.
Mexican Stir Fry Jalapeno grapeseed oil sautéed chicken/beef, onion, peppers, black beans, Fajita or Adobo blend (use about 1/2 TBSP). Top with shredded cheese & Fiesta Salsa and serve over Cilantro Lime Rice. You can also just add some cilantro and a squeeze of lime as well.
Basil Pesto Stir Fry Basil Pesto grapeseed oil sautéed chicken/shrimp and tomatoes – add spinach the last few minutes to wilt. Also great with some toasted pine nuts. Mix with some prepared Basil Pesto blend, to taste, with rice.
The All American (Yvonne's Hubby’s FAVORITE!) Butter flavored grapeseed oil sautéed chicken/steak, onions and mushrooms, diced potatoes and liberally sprinkled with Rancher’s Steak Rub to taste.

Here’s another one that I enjoy straight from the Wildtree recipe search tool:
Chipotle Lime Fried Rice 2 tablespoons Wildtree European Dipping Oil - Hot Chili
1 small onion diced
1 1/2 cups sliced mushrooms
2 cups white or brown rice, cooked
2 teaspoons Wildtree Chipotle Lime Rub
3/4 cup frozen peas
3/4 cup pineapple cut into small chunks
PREPARATION: Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion until soft and translucent and add the mushrooms. Cook for a couple of minutes and then add the rice and seasoning. Finish by adding the pineapple and peas and cooking for 3-5 more minutes.

Steamers!

A quick, delicious way to enjoy steamers...the Wildtree way! Fill a large pot with a little water, some steamer clams, some beer and some Garlic Galore. Steam until the clams open up and serve with or without melted butter. Our family prefers butter as 'everything is betta with butta'!

Teriyaki Pork Tenderloin

3/4 cup Wildtree Honey Mustard (not the vinaigrette)
3/4 cup Wildtree Teriyaki Sauce (or Ponzu Sauce if you're lucky to still have some of that delicious retired item)

Combine all in a resealable plastic bag and add pork. Marinate 6 hours or overnight. Grill or oven cook to your liking.
