Rockin' My Wildtree Kitchen!!!

Hello Everyone -
Once again Wildtree helped me turn a healthy meal into an EXTRAORDINARY one! Tonight for dinner we had Broiled Salmon that had been marinated overnight in a Bourbon Teriyaki Marinade, Fresh Seasonal Greens from Cindy Hall --our favorite Master & Organic Gardner & pan sautéed cauliflower.
Sounds good, right? Well - with Wildtree it was out of this world!! Without further adou I will share the recipes with you!
This time of the year is EXACTLY what attracted me to Wildtree - the ability to use wholesome seasoning blends, sauces & marinades to enhance the flavors of all the wonderfully fresh produce coming into season.
BOURBON TERIYAKI SALMON w/ Wildtree's Sweet Onion Spread
Marinade:
1 cup Sucanat (a healthier version of brown sugar)
½ cup Jack Daniels or other bourbon/whiskey of your choice
2 cloves crushed garlic
½ cup Tamari
1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice (I used lemon)
Sesame seeds to sprinkle on the salmon right before baking.
Marinate at least 24 hours.  I mix the marinade and throw it and the salmon in plastic freezer bags and lay them flat in my frig.  When ready to bake - simply prepare a baking sheet or broiler pan and place the Salmon on the sheet/pan. Sprinkle with   sesame seeds and bake at 350 until done.
After Salmon comes out of the oven - I brush it with Wildtree's Sweet Onion Spread right before serving.  This is 5 star!!

Spaghetti Dinner

Happy Friday!
Tonight "my gang" requested spaghetti and meatballs. Its not often we have pasta around here so when we do its a real treat!!! Here is my thrown-together recipe...


Meatballs:
1lb turkey -- we like turkey better than beef, but beef works too
2tbl. WT hearty spaghetti blend
1/4 c. GF bread crumbs
1 egg
1/8 tsp. WT ranchers 
Throw that in a bowl, mix it up, toss it in the over 350 for 20 mins and done


Sauce:
1 can crushed tomatoes
1 tbl. WT hearty spaghetti blend
1 tsp. WT garlic gso
Pour your tomatoes straight into a pot on the stove, add your hearty spaghetti and GSO, bring to a boil, remove from heat and toss the meatballs into the sauce


We are a gluten free household so we LOVE Tinkyada's rice angel hair pasta, but for you non gluten-free eaters, whole wheat pasta works just as well.


Plate the pasta, pour on the sauce and meatballs 
and Bon Appetit!


This spaghetti goes great with my Hickory Smoked Ranchers Green Beans -- check out that post!
