Freezer Meal : What Am I Paying For ?

SO WHAT AM I REALLY GETTING FOR MY MONEY?

The good news is that we’ve done all of the hard work for you. We’ve put together 10+ great recipes that your family will love, so all you have to do is show up.

What else is included in your bundle other than a fun night out with the girls? Check it out...

1. Wildtree Product Bundle. You will not use a whole jar/bottle of each product for all of your meals so you will be able to take them home and use them again and again. Wildtree has a fabulous online recipe database (currently with over 1,200 recipes) that you can search any product you have for lots of yummy and healthy recipes for the whole family.

2. Additional Groceries that your Wildtree Rep purchases Some recipes only require a small amount of a certain ingredient. For example, everyone needs 1 ¼ tsp of ginger at the “Around the World” Workshop. Instead of asking everyone to purchase a whole jar of ginger (@$5.00), I purchase that and walk around at the workshop putting these extra ingredients into everyone’s bags. Or, these type of ingredients are set out in the middle of the table/counter as shared products.

3. Grocery Shopping Checklist
This is organized into Meat/Protein, Produce, Misc. to make for a QUICK and EASY shopping trip.

4. Prep Instructions.
This gives you all the prep instructions for your protein and produce. You can do this before or after the workshop.

5. Assembly of Bags List

6. Labels for your freezer bags
We will provide these for you to put them on your Ziplocs at the workshop. It has cooking instructions and ideas for complimentary side dishes.

7. Inventory Freezer Meal Checklist
Put this on your freezer. It has columns for: all of the meals you prepared at the workshop, cooking method, cooking time, complimentary side dish recommendations, and a place to check off the meal when you’ve made it. This allows you to know what is in your freezer which makes weekly dinner menu planning a breeze.

8. A packet of ADDITIONAL, delicious main & side dish recipes that you can try with your purchased products.You’ll have products left over after the workshop. There is enough to make more meals—depending upon the recipes that you choose.

9. All shipping & handling for your products.

10. And, most importantly, our workshops provide the stress relief that all busy families are looking for at dinner time.

Fats that are the most stable under heat and light

Fats that are the most stable under heat and light (in order):

(source: Weston A Price: Know your Fats)

1. Saturated: A fatty acid is saturated when all available carbon bonds are occupied by a hydrogen atom. They are highly stable, because all the carbon-atom linkages are filled—or saturated—with hydrogen. This means that they do not normally go rancid, even when heated for cooking purposes. They are straight in form and hence pack together easily, so that they form a solid or semisolid fat at room temperature. Your body makes saturated fatty acids from carbohydrates and they are found in animal fats and tropical oils.

2. Monounsaturated: Monounsaturated fatty acids have one double bond in the form of two carbon atoms double-bonded to each other and, therefore, lack two hydrogen atoms. Your body makes monounsaturated fatty acids from saturated fatty acids and uses them in a number of ways. Monounsaturated fats have a kink or bend at the position of the double bond so that they do not pack together as easily as saturated fats and, therefore, tend to be liquid at room temperature. Like saturated fats, they are relatively stable. They do not go rancid easily and hence can be used in cooking. The monounsaturated fatty acid most commonly found in our food is oleic acid, the main component of olive oil as well as the oils from almonds, pecans, cashews, peanuts and avocados.

3. Polyunsaturated: Polyunsaturated fatty acids have two or more pairs of double bonds and, therefore, lack four or more hydrogen atoms. The two polyunsaturated fatty acids found most frequently in our foods are double unsaturated linoleic acid, with two double bonds—also called omega-6; and triple unsaturated linolenic acid, with three double bonds—also called omega-3. (The omega number indicates the position of the first double bond.) Your body cannot make these fatty acids and hence they are called "essential." We must obtain our essential fatty acids or EFA's from the foods we eat. The polyunsaturated fatty acids have kinks or turns at the position of the double bond and hence do not pack together easily. They are liquid, even when refrigerated. The unpaired electrons at the double bonds makes these oils highly reactive. They go rancid easily, particularly omega-3 linolenic acid, and must be treated with care. Polyunsaturated oils should never be heated or used in cooking. In nature, the polyunsaturated fatty acids are usually found in the cis form, which means that both hydrogen atoms at the double bond are on the same side.

Eat More Fat...

Love reading more on the web about eating correctly. This was a good article. Check it out.

Eat More Fat
I used to see this all the time in clients, I say add more fat and people add a tsp of evoo to their salad, NO!!! I am talking about seeing fat as a food group not a side item. Avocado’s, egg yolks, homemade mayo, homemade dressing, Hollandaise, olives, grass fed butter on vegetables and meat are all good examples. I have 10 more suggestions in this article. When you are in ketosis, fat will need to be 70-85% of your calories. Make sure to eat only healthy fats listed here: http://www.grassfedgirl.com/10-tips-for-getting-into-nutritonal-ketosis-for-weight-loss

Halloween Dirt Pies : Wildtree

Method of Preparation

Once the pudding is finished thickening up, whisk in the Chocolate Lover’s Syrup. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool. Divide the pudding among 10 (3 ounce) plastic cups. Top with the crushed chocolate cookies. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove one of the disks of Sugar Cookie from the refrigerator. Cut the disk in half and store the remaining in the refrigerator for later use. Flour your working surface, place the dough on the flour. Then dust the top of the dough with flour as well as a rolling pin to keep the dough from sticking to any surface. Roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thickness. Use a sharp knife to free hand cut gravestone shapes in the sugar cookie dough. (Make sure the base of the gravestones are small enough to fit inside the 3 ounce cups). Place the gravestones on a parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 10-12 minutes until cookies are cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. If desired use a decorating icing to write “RIP” on the gravestones. Place the gravestones upright in the cups. Serve. Check out more here.

Everyday Freezer Meals Workshop : Vegetarian Version

Everyday Meals Workshop – Vegetarian Version 


Attached is the grocery list for the Everyday Meals Freezer Workshop. Since you are going to be making a vegetarian version of this menu, please see the notes below for my suggestions on substituting things out:


1. Jambalaya- Omit the meat all together and double up on the veggies - 4 stalks of celery, 1 cup each red, yellow, and green pepper. You could add corn as well for more "meaty" texture. Do not double the tomatoes - keep that at one can.

2. Crock Pot quesadillas - Sub with black and/or pinto beans. One can of beans should be enough. Rather than preparing in the crock pot, simmer this on the stovetop for 20 minutes.

3. Perfect Roast Chicken - For this I'd have you season extra firm tofu, then skillet sear it. If you have a vegetarian substitute that you roast - such as a sliced butternut squash, that would work too. Recommended to use gardien - a widely available non GMO vegan vegetarian substitute - in the freezer section of most stores. This seasoning for this recipe would be enough for at least four of them - do NOT thaw - keep frozen.

4. Lemon Rosemary Pork Tenderloin – Try either a white bean and pasta mixture (one can of beans) with the seasoning, or do a firm tofu seared/skillet etc. If doing tofu - unless you are used to working with tofu - it's best to try to find the pressed kind (Trader Joes usually sells it). Otherwise it will be a mess if you don't squeeze out all the liquid. But one container should do it.

5. Crock Pot burritos – Keep the Rotel tomatoes, but add 2 cans drained black beans, 1 zucchini, 1 yellow squash, 1 onion, and 1 red bell pepper, all sliced. Cut the crockpot cooking time in half.

6. Lemon Rosemary pasta - Omit the chicken and add some veggies - broccoli is good in this one, asparagus, mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, artichokes, etc. This is really flexible with the amount and types of veggies. One bunch asparagus, one container mushrooms and one small jar of artichokes should od it. 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes should suffice, too - any more & it might be overpowering.

7. Cajun Shrimp fettuccine - Omit the shrimp, add yellow and green peppers, and mushrooms. Call this one Cajun Peppers & Mushrooms w/ fettuccine. Mushrooms don’t freeze well - buy one container fresh the day you make it. For the workshop, one yellow and one red pepper for your ziplock bag.

8. Meatloaf - This is a tough one as I find the vegetarian version of ground meat doesn't blend well with eggs/oatmeal - the binding is difficult. I prefer to use a cooked lentil and oatmeal mixture - the recipe for this is below. You'll have garlic, eggs, oatmeal, salt, pepper, and hearty spaghetti blend on hand at the workshop to add. You'll need to bring the lentils (cooked), onions, grated cheese, and tomato paste.

9. Salmon - For this one I'd recommend doing the fish - but if you 100% do not do fish at all, thinly sliced tofu works or a firm veggie such as butternut squash is also fantastic. (amount: One container of tofu or 4 gardien patties)

10. Burgers - For this one I like portabella mushrooms (3-4) - but they definitely
take some marinating - so this would be one to definitely freeze, then thaw, as opposed to cooking immediately. Then grill the mushrooms as opposed to pan searing them. We'll also leave off the rancher steak rub until cooking time, as salt tends to "cook/sweat" the mushrooms prior to cooking.

Another option: use 4 gardien or 4 frozen veggie burgers - keep frozen.


I hope these substitutions are helpful for you - let me know what questions you have and we can go from there. Thanks!
