New, Gluten Free & Returning Fall Products are Here!

It may still be summer, but Wildtree is gearing up for the fall with their new products. Lots of great, new tasty ingredients to help us get through that tough transition time of back to school. Plus, they have added a dedicated GLUTEN FREE line for those with Celiac or who just need to avoid gluten. These are extra special GF products as they are nutritious AND delicious. Many GF mixes are not very healthful, but Wildtree uses Ancient Grains to make theirs good for your body in multiple ways. 

Here's the list of New Products, Gluten Free Mixes and our returning Fall Favorites. 

You can order them directly through my website at www.jenwarr.mywildtree.com, or if you are a Culinary Club Member go to www.wildtreeclub.com to log in or sign up and receive a 20% discount (you'll need my Rep ID # which is 3992).

Smoky Bacon Grapeseed Oil (vegan)

Smoky Bacon Flavor Grapeseed Oil

We have a saying in my family that my 7 year old loves to say, "Everything's betta with butta!" But he recently added to it..."Everything's betta with butta and bacon!" Yes we love bacon. In any form...pancetta, peameal (Canadian), back bacon (UK), apple smoked, thick cut, you name it, we love it. One of my favorite snacks, when there happens to be leftover bacon (not often) is a toast sandwich with peanut butter and bacon. It's delicious! I cook my bacon in the oven on my Large Bar Pan. It's super easy, no messy splattering grease and clean up is simple.

You may be asking what Wildtree has to do with bacon since we only sell pantry items. Well, Wildtree's new Smoky Bacon Grapeseed Oil is a guilt free way to enjoy the smoky goodness of bacon without the cholesterol, sodium, grease and calories! Use it in recipes that call for bacon fat or any recipe that would benefit from the smoky flavor of bacon. But don’t worry; no pigs were harmed in the making of this oil!

  

Use this oil to cook up eggs, sandwiches, vegetables, and pasta dishes. It can also be used in soups, stews, popcorn, pancakes, and even a home-made mayonnaise. The possibilities are endless! See below for more recipes.

Bacon Aioli

Serves 10

1/4 cup Wildtree Smoky Bacon Flavor Grapeseed Oil

1/4 cup Wildtree Grapeseed Oil

1 whole egg, room temperature

1 teaspoon Mustard Powder

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Place all ingredients, except for Oils, into blender. Pulse until smooth and well combined. With the blender running on low speed, slowly drizzle Oils into egg mixture until mixture begins to turn white and is thick and creamy. Remove from blender and store tightly covered in refrigerator until ready to use.

Smoky Spaghetti Carbonara

Smoky Spaghetti Carbonara

Serves 8

1 (16 ounce) box whole wheat spaghetti

2 large eggs

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

4 tablespoons Wildtree Smoky Bacon Flavored Grapeseed Oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

Fresh ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain the pasta well, reserving ½ cup of the starchy cooking water to use in the sauce, if desired.

Meanwhile, beat the eggs and Parmesan together in a mixing bowl, stirring well to prevent lumps, and set aside. Heat the Grapeseed Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and sauté for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant. Add the hot, drained spaghetti to the pan and toss for 2 minutes to coat the strands. Remove the pan from heat and pour the egg mixture into the pasta, stirring quickly until the eggs thicken. Thin out the sauce with a bit of the reserved pasta water, until it reaches a desired consistency. Season pasta with black pepper and salt to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley

Smoky Mushroom Ragout

Salt and black pepper to taste

Heat 2 tablespoons Bacon Oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion, sauté about 6 minutes. Stir in diced tomato, scallions, and Basil Pesto; cook for an additional 3 minutes. Drizzle remaining Bacon Oil over the ragout and serve with your favorite pasta.

Rockin’ Moroccan Rub

Rockin’ Moroccan Rub

A Moroccan Spice Market is a sight and smell I would love to experience! Since I haven't made it there...yet...I am glad Wildtree has brought it to me! With the flavors of ginger, cumin, paprika, fennel seed and coriander, WIldtree's new Rockin' Moroccan Rub is delicious on chicken, potatoes, steak, rice, couscous, vegetables and more.

Moroccan Couscous

Serves 6

1 tablespoon Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil

¾ cup chopped red onion

3 cups prepared Wildtree Chicken or Vegetable Bouillon Soup Base

2 tablespoons Wildtree Rockin’ Moroccan Rub

1 ½ cups couscous

¼ cup currants

Heat Grapeseed Oil in a large sauté pan, add the red onion and cook for 3 minutes over medium heat. Add the prepared Soup Base and Moroccan Rub, increase the heat and bring to a boil. Take pan off heat and stir in couscous. Cover the pan and let it sit for 10 minutes. Add the currants, toss, and serve.

Wildly Delcious Fajitas

Fajitas are a great way to get veggies into your children! My son is a great eater, but there are a lot of things he still doesn't eat such as peppers. However, saute them up in a cast iron skillet and put them in a corn tortilla with grilled skirt steak, sauteed onions and sour cream and he begs for more!

Wildly Delicious Steak Fajitas

Wildtree Grapeseed Oil (Natural & Garlic)

2 lbs Skirt Steak

1 large red onion, cut into strips 

1 yellow pepper, cut into strips 

2 red pepper, cut into strips

1 green pepper, cut into strips  

3 TBSP Wildtree Adobo Seasoning Blend (plus a little more)

2 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar 

12 corn tortillas, warmed 

Whisk together the vinegar, Adobo seasoning and about 1/4 cup Natural Grapeseed Oil. Add skirt steak and marinate for several hours or overnight in the fridge.

When ready to cook, heat 2 TBSP Garlic Grapeseed Oil in large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions and peppers and sprinkle with Adobo Seasoning and cook until softened and starting to caramelize. Meanwhile, grill steak until desired temperature.  Serve steak, peppers & onions in warm corn tortillas with the following condiments ~ sour cream, sliced avocado, chopped tomatoes with a spritz of Bragg's Liquid Aminos.

Wildtree's Answer to Lipton Onion Soup Mix

One of my favorite go-to ingredients for easy recipes and many crockpot meals used to be Lipton Onion Soup Mix. It not only makes the most sinful dip, it's an amazing base for numerous recipes! I banned it from my kitchen years ago as it contains MSG (in several forms), trans fat, lots of preservatives and high sodium. Luckily, Wildtree has a delicious alternative...Absolutely Onion Blend. You can use it for dip, but I prefer to use it for cooking. See below for some recipes!

Onion Dip

Serves 16

1/3 cup Wildtree Absolutely Onion Blend

1 (16 ounce) container sour cream

In a small bowl, combine onion dip and sour cream, and mix until blended. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Serve with vegetables, pretzels, and chips.

Pancakes

Oliver's plate of chocolate chip pancakes!

Our family loves pancakes! With blueberries, chocolate chips, cinnamon, gingerbread...you name, we like it. Having to go gluten, dairy and egg free was a real bummer in terms of pancake making, but I have discovered ways to make them that are just as good.

Bob's Red Mill has a pretty good mix that is easy to make but we prefer the recipe from Babycakes newest cookbook.

Basic Pancakes

Ingredients

2 cups All Purpose Gf Flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)

2 tsp Baking Soda

2 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Ground Cinnamon

1 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum

2/3 cup Agave Nectar

2/3 cup Rice Milk

2/3 cup Unsweetened Apple Sauce

1/2 cup coconut or Wildtree's Butter Flavored Grapeseed Oil

2 TBSP Pure Vanilla Extract

1/2 cup blueberries or chocolate chips

Directions

In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and xanthan gum.  Add agave nectar, rice milk, apple sauce, coconut oil or grapeseed oil, and vanilla. Mix with rubber spatula until smooth. Stir in blueberries or chocolate chips.

Place griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tsp coconut or grapeseed oil to coat pan. Pour in 1/4 cup portions and cook until surface of pancake is dimpled with tiny holes, then flip. Cook other side for about 2 minutes more.

Transfer to a warm plate in oven. Repeat. Serve with sliced bananas and warm maple syrup.

Simple Chicken Stock

Homemade Chicken Stock

(from leftover rotisserie chicken)

Did you know that using homemade broth in recipes not only makes them taste better, it is also way more nutritious? Our grandmothers knew something...chicken soup really does make you feel better! And no, Campbell's and Progresso soups are not the same as they are loaded with sodium, preservatives, MSG and a lot of other things your body cannot recognize or digest.

What makes homemade bone broth & soups so nutritious?

Amino Acids (which helps the body detoxify) and lots and lots of minerals and trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon and sulphur. It also contains chondroitin sulphates and glucosamine (sold as supplements now for joint pain and arthritis!). Bone broths also contain gelatin. You know you've made a nutritious homemade broth when there is a congealed jelly on top when it is refrigerated - don't discard this! It's super good for you! Gelatin can help with many conditions such as Crohn's, diverticulitis, leaky gut and more. It helps the lining of the intestines which aids in digestion and the absorption of nutrients and strengthens your gut. Did you know that 60-70% of your immune system is based in your gut? That is why eating broth (Grammy's homemade chicken soup) helps strengthen your immune system. 

Read “Broth is Beautiful” by Sally Fallon Morell for more info!

Homemade Chicken Stock

1 4-5 lb. whole organic chicken (I roast mine, eat dinner, and use the leftover carcass.)

1 medium onion, quartered

3 stalks of celery, quartered (include greens)

4 medium carrots, washed but not peeled, cut in half

1 or 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar (helps leach nutrients from bones)

1 bay leaf

2 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
cold, filtered water (enough to fill crock pot)

Place everything in the crockpot, cover with water until about an inch or so below the rim. You don't want to overfill your crockpot or it will bubble over. It is better to add water as it cooks down - which is what I do. Let it simmer away on low for at least 24 hours.

Turn off the crockpot and let it cool. Carefully separate chicken from bones and store to use in soup or enchiladas. Discard all veggies and bones and strain remaining broth. Store the broth in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze it for up to three month.
