What is in the Ingredients?


What is in the Ingredients?
When buying products for your family and for yourself, you really want to pay close attention to what ingredients are in the products. You would be amazed at what is and what is not actually in there! For a long time it did not matter to me and I bought what was on sale or used coupons, etc…
Until my daughter was born, her skin was very sensitive & so was her digestive system. I found some things needed to change. Don’t get me wrong you could change everything in your home to all natural, organic, etc… it will get expensive. Do it within reason. Buy stuff a little at a time and pay attention to when those special items go on sale and check online for coupons. You never know what great deals you might not know about. Never under estimate direct sales companies. Did you know there are over 100 unique direct sales companies! More lately you have seen an increase in health foods, health drinks, energy programs, in addition to all the familiar favorites like Avon, Mary Kay, Tupperware, etc…There are also a number of all natural companies out there!
I recently was introduced to Wildtree Natural foods. Wildtree is a direct sales company, home party plan company. You can buy online or through home parties. They have NO MSG, No artificial flavorings, colors or dyes. You want to know the best part? It tastes AMAZING!! The recipes are simple and easy to follow, the blends are fabulous and delicious and the jams are delightful! If you are looking for a healthy way to cook for you and your family Wildtree may be the answer for you. You can create pizza(with their So Quick And Easy Pizza Dough Mix & Hearty spaghetti sauce blend ), We put the Wildly blueberry jam and the Strawberries & Dark Chocolate Jam on French toast, bagels, English muffins, and topped our pancakes with the blueberry syrup! My WildtreeConsultant has this listed on her website(and I absolutely love these facts and stand by them as well):
Rediscover Cooking the Wildtree way!
Simple. Healthy. Natural.
Wildtree is an all natural food product line. That means no MSGs, no dyes, no preservatives, no additives, peanut free, and low in sodium and sugar.  Wildtree is very beneficial to busy moms looking to provide a healthy meal that is quick and easy to use! Put yourself in control of what goes onto your family’s table.  You can have a good tasting healthy meal in about 20 mins! We provide recipes and menu planning to avoid going the fast food route, which we all know is sooooo bad for us!   With menu planning you save time and MONEY! And with using Wildtree you only need to buy the staples: produce, dairy, pasta/rice, proteins. It helps you stay away from impulse buying, where you end up throwing away items that go bad, because you never ended up using them.
We believe in the value of making cooking a quicker, easier, more healthful project for those who are short on time, and a fun, interesting adventure for those who wish to be more creative in the kitchen.
Wildtree makes it an easy transition to eating healthier! With being delicious and economical, you can’t go wrong!
For example, add one tablespoon of our Hearty Spaghetti Sauce Seasoning to a 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes and heat. The sauce is great and does not contain any undesirable additives. You can also use your own garden fresh tomatoes. Add mushrooms, onions, a little Grapeseed oil or anything else to personalize the sauce. Cost? about $1.50 for 28 ounces – not $2.49 for 10 ounces.
Basic Bundle = $77.75; dinner for 4 people – 38 times, which is $2.05 per family dinner = .51 cents per person!
Favorite Bundle = $81.25; dinner for 4 people – 45 times is $1.85 per family dinner = .46 cents per person!
By using Wildtree unique herb & spice blends and mixes, you can provide for you and your family very healthful meals that taste great, are quick and easy to prepare and do not have the hydrogenated fats, preservatives, artificial flavors and additives in the packaged food you find in the store. Click here to read about a recent study that was covered by The Today Show that links hyperactivity with artificial food dyes and preservatives.
Wildtree offers the highest quality herbs, spices and culinary blends that are free of preservatives, additives, fillers and promote a healthier lifestyle.  They believe in the value of making cooking a quicker, easier, more healthful project for those who are short on time, and a fun, interesting adventure for those who wish to be more creative in the kitchen.
Another fascinating fact about Wildtree is that the feature a fabulous Grapeseed Oil! I was very unfamiliar with Grapeseed Oil but I did know that it was good for you. Here are some of the facts.
Wildtree’s Grapeseed Oil is Expeller Pressed.  Wildtree Grapeseed Oil is NOT solvent extracted like the vast majority of Grapeseed oils in the marketplace. Expeller pressed grapeseed oil is the result of a chemical-free mechanical process that extracts oil from seeds with no external heat and produces the finest oil. This method of oil extraction is an alternative to the chemical extraction method used for many conventional oils.  Sometimes expeller pressed is referred to as cold-pressed.
Expeller Pressed Grapeseed Oil is made from grape seeds after wine production. It is therefore environmentally sound and requires no new farmland or water to produce. Versatile, delicious and good for you, Grapeseed oil allows the pure flavor of fresh food to come through. Its delicate flavor and body make it perfect for sautéing, baking or frying. Try it in salad dressings, on pasta or hard breads, or use as marinades or bastes for the grill.

I used to Garlic infused grapeseed oil and I mixed it with the Rotisserie Chicken Blend and completely covered a whole chicken. I baked the chicken as I normally would temp wise and cooking time but with this blend and oil mixed together, it was AMAZING! Was such a great tasting blend, not even being rotisserie just baked in the oven the chicken was delicious! I highly recommend this blend as well as the other products mentioned above. I have tried more of the products and I could go on for days about how mouth watering these recipes can be but I want to save some time for your imagination to think of some as well.
