Wildtree Freezer Meals

SuzetteNutrition / Recipes

Freezer meals are great for busy families – you can spend 90 minutes preparing 10 meals, pop them in the freezer, and pull one out as needed with the prep already done.  Since there are only two of us, I don’t make large batches of freezer meals for Danny and myself very often, but I do love them as an option for helping others.  Recently my Mom had surgery, and I was able to put together several meals that can go in her freezer so that she has them at the ready as she needs them.  My Dad likes to grill, so meals from the Get Your Grill On set from Wildtree was a great choice for them.

Although the freezer meal workshops from Wildtree come with 10 different meal recipes, you don’t have to make them all if some don’t look like something your family would like.  You will use the leftover seasonings for other meals regardless!  There were 7 meals in this set that I thought my parents would like, and they make enough that I was able to split some off to keep for Danny and me!

 

I can’t tell you what a good feeling it was to fill my parents’ freezer with prepared meals so that they have one less thing to think about for a while.  Giving is such a blessing!  Shalom!

Fish Tacos with Jicama Slaw

SuzetteAdobo Seasoning Recipes

My husband loves tacos, so I love to make them for him.  I try to avoid red meat and dairy, so I am always looking for alternative taco ideas that I can eat while he enjoys his traditional tacos.  This one has quickly become my favorite!

3 fresh tilapia filets, or other mild whitefish

1 tablespoon Wildtree Organic Fajita Seasoning Blend

1 jicama, peeled and cut matchstick style

1 mango, peeled and cut matchstick style

1 small onion, diced

fresh cilantro

juice of two fresh limes

1/2 teaspoon Wildtree Organic Spicy Carne Asada Seasoning

1/2 teaspoon Wildtree Organic Adobo Seasoning

Spread Wildtree Fajita Seasoning on fish and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

While fish cooks, combine the remaining ingredients into Jicama Slaw.  Cut up fish, and place in taco shells of your choice.  Top with Jicama Slaw and enjoy!

 

Make Ahead Meatballs

SuzetteGarlic Galore Seasoning Blend Recipes

Meatballs are a fantastic make-ahead option.  The recipe below will make 3-4 dozen, depending on how large you roll your meatballs.  Save empty egg cartons – they are great for freezing your meatballs!   Line the egg carton with plastic wrap, put an uncooked meatball in each space, cover with plastic wrap, close the lid and pop in the freezer.  No freezer burn, and they pull out separately with ease.

The recipe:

3 pounds meatloaf mix – I like 2/3 ground round, 1/3 ground pork

3 eggs

2 tablespoons Wildtree Scampi Blend

1 tablespoon Wildtree Spaghetti Sauce Blend

1 teaspoon Wildtree Garlic Galore Blend

1 cup ketchup

3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup red wine

1 medium onion, diced

1 cup breadcrumbs (I make my own gluten free crumbs – see below)

salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients and roll into balls.  You can use them right away, or freeze as suggested above.  I pop them frozen into the crockpot in the morning with a 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of Wildtree Spaghetti Sauce Blend, and they are cooked through and ready to eat at dinner time (30 minutes on high, the rest of the day on low).  Starting out frozen, they don’t get mushy.

You could also use this Wildtree recipe for Meatball Parmesan:

Place meatballs in a baking dish.  Combine 1 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes with 1 tablespoon Wildtree Spaghetti Sauce Blend and pour over meatballs.  Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.  Bake 45-50 minutes or until meatballs are cooked through.  Serve over pasta or on rolls as meatball subs.

___________

If you have tried store bought gluten free breadcrumbs, you know they are hard and undesirable.  I use gluten free millet bread to create my own breadcrumbs.  Just break up the bread and process in a food processor until fine.  Store in the freezer in a ziploc bag.  They last several months.
