March Madness

What's for dinner?

It's the question of the hour. Too many busy moms (and dads) look for answers in the supermarket at 5 p.m. Harried, harassed by hungry children, they rack their brains for an answer to the dinner-hour question. Often this can lead to unhealthy food choices-take out, frozen dinners, hamburger helper, etc.

What's the answer? A menu plan!

Menu planning doesn't have to be complicated. A small investment of time can reap great rewards:

• A menu plan saves money. Reducing trips to the supermarket, a menu plan reduces impulse spending. Using leftovers efficiently cuts food waste, while planned buying in bulk makes it easy to stockpile freezer meals at reduced prices.
• A menu plan saves time. No dash to the neighbors for a missing ingredient, no frantic searches through the freezer for something, anything to thaw for dinner. It allows you to plan when you going to use your freezer meals, giving you adequate time to defrost them and have everything on hand to prepare them.
• A menu plan improves nutrition. Without the daily dash to the supermarket, there's time to prepare side dishes and salads to complement the main dish, increasing the family's consumption of fruits and vegetables.

Happy New Year
Cheers to a happy, healthy 2011!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday with their family and friends.  December was a very busy month.  We celebrated (my Assistant Manager) Ali’s 9^th birthday, I made my radio debut preparing a Wildtree Breakfast on a local internet radio show (something I never would have imagined doing), enjoyed a wonderful Christmas before getting out of Logan just a few hours before the airports were closed due to  the blizzard, spent a week in Ft. Myers with family we haven’t seen since our wedding, and returned home to a New Year.  Phewww, no wonder I didn’t have time for much else.

My Radio Debut

My friend Tracy convinced me to be a guest on her friend's internet radio show today Faust in the Morning. She did all of the prep work and I cooked a yummy holiday brunch for the boys
We had a few technical difficulties triggered by the toaster oven tipping the circuit breaker but I had fun and was shocked that I could enjoy stepping (way) out of my comfort zone.  Thanks for the push Tracy :)
Here is what we made:

Cranberry Spiced French Toast

SERVINGS: 4

INGREDIENTS:

    * 2 eggs

    * 2 tablespoons milk or half and half

    * 2 tablespoons warm water

    * 1 tablespoon Wildtree Cranberry Spice Blend

    * 4-6 slices of bread of your choice

PREPARATION:

Mix Cranberry Spice Blend into warm water for about 5 minutes or until cranberries get plump. Beat eggs and milk together in a wide dish, big enough for bread slices to fit. Add cranberry spice blend and mix well. Heat a buttered or oiled griddle or a non-stick pan over medium high heat. Dip bread into egg mixture and saturate, coating with cranberries and spices. Place into hot pan, flip when golden brown. Serve with syrup of your choice.

   

Toni's Thanksgiving Panini

SERVINGS: 2

INGREDIENTS:

    * 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise

    * 2 tablespoons Wildtree Cranberry Spice Blend (I substituted the Wildtree Cranberry     

      Jalapeno Jelly for the cranberry mayo)

    * 2 slices provolone cheese

    * 1/4 pound turkey breast, thinly sliced

    * 3 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil

    * 1 package Wildtree Old World Style Focaccia Bread, prepared according to package directions

    * 1 1/4 cup and 2 tablespoons water

    * 2 tablespoons Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil

PREPARATION:

Mix the mayonnaise with the Cranberry Spice Blend and set aside at room temperature.  In a saute pan over medium-high heat, cook the turkey in the Grapeseed Oil.  Cut the focaccia loaf into 4 slices.  Build a sandwich with the suggested ingredients.  Brush the outside of the sandwich with Grapeseed Oil and saute in a pan until golden brown.

Wildtree's Home Fries

SERVINGS: 4

INGREDIENTS:

    * 1 pound potatoes

    * 1 tablespoon butter

    * 1 tablespoon Wildtree Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil

    * 1 teaspoon Wildtree Home Fries Seasoning

PREPARATION:

Cut the potatoes lengthwise into halves. In a large sauce pan, cover the potatoes with sold water.. Simmer until almost cooked through but still firm and cut the potatoes into thick slices. Combine butter and Roasted Garlic Grapeseed Oil with the Home Fries Seasoning in a skillet. Add the potatoes and cook to the desired degree of doneness.

WILDTREE TIP: Prepare the home fries in advance and chill in the refrigerator. Heat the potatoes just before serving.

You may try this with other firm vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans or onions.

Cranberry Spice Apple Crisp

Serves 6

5 McIntosh apples, cored, peeled and sliced

2 T Wildtree Cranberry Spice blend

1/3 C butter, softened

1/3 C sugar 1/3 C flour

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium mixing bowl mix the apples and the Cranberry Spice Blend. Arrange the apples in a butter 8 x 8 glass baking dish. Combine the butter, sugar and flour in a bowl and mix well. Spread over the apples.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 30-45 minutes or until the apples are soft and the topping is golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream or whipped cream.

Gingerbread Crinkles

We just put a batch of these in the oven while we start the Christmas Tree-House smells like Christmas!

Gingerbread Crinkles

Ingredients:
1 pkg. Gingerbread Cake Mix
1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
1 large egg
1 to 2 tablespoons hot water

Directions:
Stir the mix with the softened butter until even crumbs form. Add the egg and 1 tablespoon hot water. Knead until the dough comes together (dough will be a bit sticky), adding the final tablespoon of water if necessary. Divide the dough in half, wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour (or up to 3 days).

Roll the dough into 2” balls. Dip tops in sugar, place on the prepared baking sheet, and flatten slightly.

Bake the cookies in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 12 to 14 minutes; they will be slightly soft when done. Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes; transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
