1 TBSP Horseradish Mustard (substitute Honey Mustard for a sweeter dish!)

In large skillet, heat oil and mustard then add green beans. Saute, turning frequently for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.

Cook's Note ~ Try roasting them in a 400 degree oven instead of sauteing!

Gingerbread Crinkles

Gingerbread Crinkles

Ingredients:
1 pkg. Gingerbread Cake Mix
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 to 2 tablespoons hot water

Directions:
Stir the mix with the softened butter until even crumbs form. Add the egg and 1 tablespoon hot water. Knead until the dough comes together (dough will be a bit sticky), adding the final tablespoon of water if necessary. Divide the dough in half, wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 3 days). Roll the dough into 2” balls. Dip tops in sugar, place on the prepared baking sheet, and flatten slightly. Bake the cookies in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 12 to 14 minutes; they will be slightly soft when done. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes; transfer to a rack to finish cooling.

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.

Guest Chef ~ Marvelous Mac and Cheese, Wildtree Style!!

Marvelous Mac & Cheese, Wildtree Style from Wonderfully WIldtree with Becca 1/2 (8 oz) package any pasta such as whole wheat fusilli

1 TBSP Wildtree Scampi Blend
1 cup protein (leftover ham, chicken or turkey or leave out!)
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Panko Bread Crumbs

Directions:
1.Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Place macaroni in the saucepan and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.

2.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish. (Becca used her Pampered Chef Spritzer with Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil.)

3.Spread the Cheddar cheese over the bottom of the baking dish. Top with a thin layer of macaroni. Top macaroni with Provolone cheese, another layer of macaroni, a layer of mozzarella and a third layer of macaroni. Top with a layer of Colby-Monterey Jack cheese. Mix protein choice throughout casserole. Mix the egg and the milk together, add the Wildtree Seasonings. Pour into macaroni dish. Sprinkle with Panko bread crumbs.

4. Bake in the preheated oven 20 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
Enjoy!!

Thanksgiving is coming...are you ready?

Fall is an absolutely beautiful time of year!

To help make your Thanksgiving meal planning easy, I have a Thanksgiving Recipe Booklet that contains 6 Holiday Favorites made with a Wildtree twist! For $82 plus shipping you'll receive 10 Wildtree products plus the recipes for... Holiday Turkey Holiday Stuffing Amazing Sweet Potatoes Spinach Artichoke Green Bean Casserole Cheesy Garlic Mashed Potatoes Pumpkin Mousse
