HURRY BEFORE THEY ARE GONE!

This time of year Wildtree announces their soon soon to be Discontinued List.  I know they need to make room for new and delicious products - which I hear (from my friend, Jen who is a product tester)  are great!  But do they need to include some of my family's favorites????  Looks like I'll have to fill my pantry shelves with some of these gems before they are gone forever!

Pumpkin Trifle Recipe

This is the recipe for the Pumpkin Trifle I made at the Freezer Meal Workshop.  It was yummy!!

Pumpkin Trifle 

adapted from a recipe by Patricia B. from Indiantown, FL

Serves 6  

1 package Wildtree Pumpkin Quick Bread, prepared according to package directions 

2 T Wildtree Pumpkin Cheesecake Blend
1 jar caramel sauce 
1 can whipped cream 
10 ginger snap cookies (crushed)

Mix pumpkin cheesecake blend with whipped cream. Layer pumpkin bread, whipped cream, and caramel sauce in small individual glasses or a trifle dish. Top with whipped cream and drizzle caramel sauce on top.  Sprinkle crushed ginger snaps on top.
 
I made whip cream (use 2-16oz cartons of whipping cream-I found 1 was not enough) and caramel sauce (make 1/2 the caramel sauce recipe below) from scratch so I was guaranteed to have no HFCS or other unpronounceable ingredients! 

Caramel Sauce  (from Ina Garten)

1 1/2 cups sugar 

1/3 cup water 

1 1/4 cups heavy cream 

nocoupons

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Direction 

Mix the water and sugar in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until the sugar dissolves. Do not stir. Increase the heat to medium and boil uncovered until the sugar turns a warm chestnut brown, about 5 to 7 minutes, gently swirling the pan to stir the mixture. Be careful – the mixture is extremely hot! Watch the mixture very carefully at the end, as it will go from caramel to burnt very quickly. Turn off the heat. Stand back to avoid splattering and slowly add the cream and vanilla. Don't worry - the cream will bubble violently and the caramel will solidify.

Simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool to room temperature, at least 4 hours. It will thicken as it sits.

Summer Days 
Summer is quickly passing and before long the joy of relaxed, lazy days will be replaced with school, volunteering, PTO meetings, after school activities and sports, etc, etc., etc....I recently decided to join the Wildtree team as a representative.  Those of you who know me know that I am NOT a salesperson.  But what I am is... a busy working mom who is passionate about feeding my family delicious, healthy food.   About a year ago I became reconnected with a high school friend who was a team leader for Wildtree.  I began receiving her newsletters followed her blog and was very intrigued by the freezer meal workshops she hosts.  Unfortunately for me she lives in California.  She began to send me her menus and I would assemble them once a month at home.   When she came "home" for the summer she was kind enough to host them here.  These are amazing opportunities to prepare 10 meals in about 2 hours that you store in your freezer for those crazy nights when you are short on time and don't want to hit the drive-thru.  Wildtree has tons of amazing products to make getting dinner on the table faster and easier.  They also have many yummy new products which are destined to become old favorites.  Please let me know if you are interested in learning more about Wildtree products, attending a freezer meal workshop, or hosting a Wildtree tasting at your home.

as soon as I can figure out how to get this to work...

Gotta Start Somewhere...

Here is my first foray into blogging. They say the highest form of flattery is imitation...so I will give credit to my friend Jen Warr who inspired me to become involved with Wildtree, to host freezer meal workshops, and to bring information about all things related to food and health to my friends.

One thing I have learned as I begin this journey is that I am not as computer savy as I need to be.  This blog should emphasize that quite well as it is not exactly colorful...I promise to work on that.  I am also in the process of sending my first newsletter but have learned that group mailings look like spam and I have not found my way around that yet.  Therefore, my next blog entry will be my August Newsletter  :D
