Bringin' in the New

If you missed Thursday night's tasting for Wildtree's new products, here's a recap to bring you up to speed on what is now available as of January 1. Of course reading about these new items is not nearly as good as eating them, but here goes!!

Cheesy Cheddar Soup Mix - So easy and so good! Throw in a TB of Fiesta Salsa to kick it up a notch. Add broccoli or asparagus or rice and chicken. Use it for a cheeesy noodle casseroles or one with veggies and rice. How about easy scalloped potatoes?

Sweet Onion Spread - Hard for me to stop eating this stuff. Love it right out the jar on a cracker or with a sharp cheddar slice as I had today. Really great as a sandwich spread with turkey or on a Monte Cristo. Add to pizza - picture Aldredo Sauce, Adobo Chicken and Sweet Onion Spread on a crisp crust.....

Savory Sofrito Cooking Base - Perfect blend of tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, garlic and cilantro. So fresh tasting - love it! Toss in rice for a savory Spanish dish, make empanadas, stuff in green peppers with rice, add to any soup, casserole or stew for a Latin American pizazz.

Perfect Pizza Sauce Seasoning - We thought the Hearty Spaghetti made a perfect pizza sauce, but this beats it. Has a little more oregano taste than the Spaghetti blend, every bit as easy to use and versatile. Mix with butter and spread on bread or pasta. Use for calzones, manicotti, lasagna or dipping sauce.

Chicken, Vegetable and Beef Bouillon Soup Bases - Too many good things to say about these new offerings. See previous post for some recipe ideas. Use as a broth for any soup or as a starter for stews, sauces, gravies, casseroles, you name it. Such great, rich flavor with real beef and chicken broth, vegetables and herbs and a touch of red wine. Each jar yields about 22 cups of broth.

Creamy Ranch Dressing & Dip - On the ingredient label from a name-brand ranch dressing: Artificial Flavors, Disodium Phosphate, Sorbic Acid, Calcium Disodium, Disodium Inosinate, Disodium Guanylate... YUK!! Wildtree's Ranch tastes a million times better than any Ranch I've ever had not to mention it has NONE of that gunk in it (hmm...maybe that is why it tastes so good....) Mix with sour cream for a dip, add a little mayo for a dressing. That simple. And then.....shake it on pretzels, mini crackers and chex cereal for a snack, toss it on potatoes before roasting, pour over chicken breasts and sprinkle with crackers before baking.


Create-A-Cookie Mix - One word: Divine. Love this mix. Add one stick of butter and two eggs to this whole wheat, organic cane and molasses mix for the richest tasting cookie ever. Easiest way in the world to have healthy, made from scratch cookies. They bake soft and you can add whatever you like - chips, nuts, dried fruit, sprinkles, spoon jam in the center of each cookie, stuff a chocolate kiss in the center. One box bakes about two dozen. We added Heath Bar chips and semi-sweet chocolate....they didn't last long!!


Sunday Morning Cinnamon Rolls - Again, ease is the word here. Home made decadence in a flash. Just add milk, butter, and eggs and they’re ready to bake - no rising time needed, even though they taste like you spent all morning on them. One box includes dough mix, the cinnamon filling mix, and a sweet icing glaze. Nine cinnamon rolls. Can also make twists with them or roll the pastry in a casserole dish and add the cinnamon filling and top with pineapple, macadamia and coconut for a tropical breakfast treat!

Healthy & Hearty Lentil Soup - This soup is just good. Too good to be this easy. Let's see.....add some water and cook twenty minutes. Or you can go out on a limb and add a little beef or veg. bouillon, but it doesn't need it. Protein packed lentils seasoned perfectly with onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes, coriander, garlic, cumin, turmeric and more. Spice up your next pot of chili by adding this soup mix in, use it as a base for a terrific vegetable casserole.
