Extreme Couponing? Not me!

I will admit it.  I used to be a coupon addict.  Since eating clean and starting with Wildtree, I don't often use the products that coupons are made for, but I do peruse them for the few products I still purchase.  Even those I save I don't often use because the store brand is a better deal. I would then feel guilty about all the time wasted on cutting, carrying and checking the coupons, but NO MORE.  

I just discovered this group that forwards coupons, even those that are expired, to troops oversees to be used in commissaries on base.  There are procedures, and policies but check it out here:


Now off to find a coupon for toilet paper.....how can one family use so much?

Super Bowl Super Food

I was born in Texas and grew up loving football.  As a mother though, I haven't had as much time to put into keeping up with professional teams and players and stats and such, but I love to watch a good game!


Super Bowl Sunday though means more then just football....it is about FOOD!




This year our plans for the big game were to be very lazy.  After a crazy month with Wildtree I had some work to catch up on and I was way behind on my class lectures.


I couldn't let the opportunity pass to come up with a great Wildtree appetizer.  One of the Wildtree Team Leaders posted a recipe on FB for crab dip that she found online.  I decided to "Wildtree-it" and come up with a healthier version.




Here is how it turned out....


and the recipe....


1/2 pound of lump crab (for ease I used canned)
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Wildtree Absolutely Onion
2 tbsp Wildtree Garlic Galore
2 tsp Worcester Sauce
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tbsp Wildtree Cajun seasoning


1.Preheat oven to 325
2. Mix all ingredients and put in casserole dish.

3. Bake for 20-30 minutes until bubbly and slightly brown.  




It was awesome and the perfect thing to snack on while making dinner.


I hope you enjoyed the game....or at least the half time show!
