The Value of Wildtree

Feeling a little strapped for cash?

You are not alone! A recent conversation with a friend made me realize that some people may think Wildtree is just too expensive for their wallets right now and I was more than happy to share how that couldn't be further from the truth!

As the host of a Wildtree Tasting, you will get your groceries for free - again, always in the budget. And as a customer, you can get them for 20% off by joining our Culinary Club.

Check out the list below and you may be amazed that for the same cost that you spend on unhealthy brands, you could be feeding your family simple, delicious dinners that are also really healthful!

Bountiful Trips to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market

Wednesday is market day in our household. I love getting to the Santa Monica Farmer's Market early and filling my bags with the most incredible organic produce, eggs, raw milk and butter, grass fed ground beef, fresh herbs, bison, juicy fruit and our favorite bread from Bezian's Bakery. Oliver loves to sample all the delicious produce - even ones he might not think he likes. Now that he is in school, my trips are a little more quiet and I find myself missing my grocery partner, but I am grateful that I can feed my family with such amazing food all year long! I thought I'd share some of my photos and favorite vendors.

Happy farmer's market shopping!

One of our all time favorite vendors is Harry's Berries. They have the sweetest strawberries that are red to the core! Oliver requests them by name and I've tasted very few strawberries that compare to Harry's.

Radishes are a delicious treat in a salad or on toast! The flowers change with the seasons and always make me smile. You will often catch me smelling all of them and basking in their beauty!

So many tomatoes...so many shapes...so many colors...so many flavors...so many recipes to use them in! Hope you can discover your farmer's market or CSA delivery. Happy, healthy shopping & cooking!

Healthy Brunch

Ring in the New Year with these tasty brunch recipes.
I love brunch! It's one of the easiest meals to prepare for a group of people no matter how many are coming. It can be affordable, simple, delicious, healthful and fun! Here are some recipes from Wildtree to entertain your family & friends one weekend.

Portobello “Benedict”

Serves: 4

 4 portobello mushroom caps
1 tablespoon Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 pieces Canadian bacon
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon white vinegar
¼ cup Wildtree Basil Pesto, prepared
4 teaspoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. With a spoon, gently scrape out the dark inside of the mushroom caps, making sure not to break them. Add oil to the pan and place mushrooms top side down in the pan, and season with salt and pepper. Cook mushrooms over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes per side, until they are tender, juicy, and dark brown. Set the mushrooms aside on a plate, top side down. Cook the Canadian bacon in the same pan, 30 seconds per side, until slightly golden brown. Place one piece on top of each mushroom. For the poached eggs, bring water in a saucepan to almost boiling then lower the heat until it is no longer boiling, and stir in vinegar. Crack each egg into its own small ramekin or cup, making sure not to break the yolk. Place the cup near the surface of the hot water and gently drop each egg into the water. With a spoon, nudge the egg whites closer to the yolk. This will help the egg whites hold together. Turn off the heat, and cover. Let sit for 4 minutes, until the egg whites are cooked. Remove the eggs from the water and place one on top of Canadian bacon in each mushroom cap. Top each mushroom with 1 teaspoon of pesto and 1 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese.

Curried Butternut Squash and Potato Latkes
Serves 7

3 cups shredded peeled butternut squash (about ¾ lb)
3 cups shredded peeled russet potato (about ¾ lb)
4 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Wildtree Curried Garlic Blend
 6 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 large egg
¼ cup Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil

Combine squash and potato in a colander; drain 30 minutes, pressing occasionally with the back of a spoon until barely moist. Combine potato mixture, cilantro, salt, pepper, Curried Garlic, flour, and egg in a large bowl and toss well. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 teaspoons of Grapeseed Oil to the pan; swirl to coat. Working in batches of 5 latkes, spoon ¼ cup of the potato mixture loosely into a dry measuring cup. Pour mixture into pan, and flatten slightly. Sauté 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and thoroughly cooked. Remove latkes from pan; keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and potato mixture.

Baked Eggs Florentine
Serves 4

4 large beefsteak tomatoes
1 teaspoon Wildtree Adobo Seasoning Blend
½ cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 teaspoon Wildtree Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil

¼ cup feta, crumbled
5 large eggs
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 350º F. Cut a ½-inch slice off the top stem end of each tomato. Scoop out the inside seeds and membranes with a spoon, making sure not to go through the flesh. Place tomatoes in a 9-inch baking dish and sprinkle evenly with Adobo. In a small bowl, toss spinach with Grapeseed Oil, Hot Chili Pepper & Garlic Blend, and feta, and spoon mixture in equal amounts into each tomato cup. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper until combined. Pour evenly over spinach. Bake tomatoes until eggs are set, about 45-50 minutes.

I Smell Garlic!

Do you like butter (non-dairy in Wildtree's case), garlic, wine, salt and parsley?
Are you allergic to seafood or dislike shrimp?
Then you are going to LOVE Wildtree's Scampi Blend!

Can you toss it with shrimp & pasta to make an easy & delicious dinner? Yes!

But did you know how many other ways you can prepare it?
Chicken Scampi
Veal Scampi
Scallop Scampi
Stuffed Mushrooms
Garlic Bread
Garlic Mashed Potatoes
White Pizza Chip or Veggie Dip (mixed with sour cream, or sour cream & mayo)
Stuffing for baked stuffed fish
Scampi cream cheese for an easy bagel spread

Here are a few other of my favorite recipes using our Scampi Blend:

~ Herb Crusted Pork Tenderloin ~
 3 pieces of sourdough bread (our beer bread works great too!)
 2 TBSP of Wildtree Scampi Blend
2 TBSP of Wildtree Roasted Garlic GSO

Make crumbs in your food processor. Mix in the Scampi Blend and the GSO until you have moist (stuffing texture) crumbs. Add a little more oil if you need to. Pat the mixture around your beef or pork tenderloin (all sides) and bake. Each slice will contain a flavorful herb crust! Easy and delicious!

~ Scampi White Pizza ~
Wildtree's Quick and Easy pizza dough (unbleached wheat flour, and SO good!)

2 teaspoons Scampi Blend

Grapeseed Oil (I used the Basil Pesto in the dough mix, and brushed Roasted Garlic on the top)

Wildtree's California Garlic Pepper Blend

Shredded Parmesan and Cheddar Cheeses

Make the pizza dough (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer with the dough hook and it takes just minutes!). Roll out onto lightly oiled cookie sheet dusted with cornstarch (to prevent sticking). Brush oil onto top of crust. Sprinkle with Scampi Blend and also California Garlic Pepper. Top with 1/4 Cup shredded parm and 1 cup shredded cheddar, (more if desired) and bake at 375 for about 15 minutes (more or less depending on your oven). You can also use this as an appetizer for a party and cut it into small squares like a really gooey garlic bread...yum!

~ Scampi Au Gratin Potatoes ~

Serve with a baked ham!

5 large russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1" cubes (or use frozen Home Fries/Hash Browns)

3 TBSP unsalted butter

3 TBSP flour

4 cups low fat milk

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or more to taste)

2 TBSP Scampi Blend

Bread Crumbs (optional)

Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring constantly about 2 minutes until it becomes a paste, slightly bubbling. Don't let it brown. Add milk, and stir until sauce thickens. Bring to a boil. Add scampi blend and potatoes. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the cheese and add salt/pepper to taste. Pour into greased casserole dish. Top with bread crumbs if you wish. Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown. Let it stand for a few minutes before serving.

~ Stuffed Mushrooms ~

Great appetizer!
(Or leave out the mushrooms to make stuffing for a Baked Stuffed Shrimp Casserole)

1 sleeve of Ritz crackers, crushed. Add 1-1/4 sticks of melted butter. Mix in 2 TBSP of Scampi Blend and 1/4 tsp of lemon juice. Optional - Mix in 4 ounces of any seafood (crabmeat, lagostinos, etc). Arrange 1/4 pound of mushroom caps on a baking sheet. Spoon the mixture into the caps. Bake 7-10 minutes or until heated through and light brown on top.
