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!

How do we get those awesome flavors in our Grapeseed oil?

I get this question all the time! 


We infuse our oil with certain flavors, each one is unique and gives the recipe  your using it in really deep flavors but how does it all work?


As usual, our handy dandy Chef and food scientist Matt has the answer  Check out this video:

Any questions?

Drop Back and Punt......

Well, I did it again.  There is something genetically wrong with me.  I am unable to use my math skills to correctly figure out how long a turkey needs to cook.  Happened at Thanksgiving (it was done earlier than I thought), and today, (way later than I thought).


7:00pm comes, it is our usually dinner time.  I pull the turkey out of the oven and it is still 20 degrees below cooked.  We are all stared and I don't know what to do.


Thank goodness for Wildtree. 


I always keep some cooked, frozen shrimp in the freezer.  I pulled it out and defrosted it under warm water.  While it was defrosting, I cooked some onions and peppers in Garlic Grapeseed Oil until they were soft, added about 2 tablespoons of Guacamole Seasoning, and a bag of chopped cabbage and about 1/4 cup of water.


Once that was soft, I tossed in the shrimp until it was hot and then served it with sliced avocado on top.


Yeah, I saved the day.


We will be having turkey for dinner tomorrow night!

Chicken in Lime Butter Dinner

I hope everyone is haveing a fabulous 2013!
 
Are you still keeping up with your New Years resolutions?  I am!  (so far at least) 
 
In a bit of office management frenzy, I re-wrote my business goals for the year.  One of them was to update my blog on a more frequent basis.  At least more often than once every 6 months.  It is surely NOT because I haven't been cooking!  With the kids scedules and my business booming, Wildtree is even more important to keep me feeding my family healthy, and keeping me out of the drive through line. 
 
I am getting ready to hop of a work ocnference call, but I wanted to share what was for dinner tonight.  One of my favorite things to do is to take recipes and make them "Wild".  (translated that means substitue Wildtree products in order to make them healthier).
 
Tonights dinner was...
 
Chicken in Lime Butter, steamed green beans and broccoli pasta with alfredo sauce.

 
Chicken in Lime Butter
 
 
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
Wildtree Chipolte Lime Rub
2 tablespoon Wildtree Lemon Grapeseed Oil
1/4 cup butter
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon Wildtree Garlic Herb Blend
 
1. Rub chicken breasts with  Wildtree Chipolte Lime Rub. In large skillet, cook the chicken in the Grapeseed Oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reaches 170 degrees.  Remove and keep warm. 
 
2. Add butter and lime juice to the skillet.  Cook and stir until butter is melted.  Stir in Garlic and Herb Blend.  Drizzle over chicken.
