How I Avoid The Dinner Rut
Happy Thursday! I hope y’all are having a great week! 🙂 I am seriously SO EXCITED to share how I get balanced, delicious, easy and good-for-you dinners on the table for my family while avoiding the dinner rut. I do dinner plan {read: not often enough}, but occasionally we just get in a dinner rut. Recently, I have found a fun way to keep that dinner rut at bay. It’s called Wildtree. Have you ever heard of this company before?
My friend Mary sent me a bunch of Wildtree products along with the recipes that accompany them. Let me tell you, once I finally opened the box and got started I was shocked at how amazing this stuff is! Wildtree is certified organic which is kind of a big deal to me when it comes to mixes, spices, condiments and more. Lots of icky stuff usually hide in those items. Not in Wildtree products!
Wildtree has an extensive line of seasonal products, appetizers, breads, marinades and sauces, desserts and a gluten-free line as well!
As we all know, our families are the real meal testers. All the Wildtree recipes I have made have been extremely yummy, quick to get on the table and without five million steps or ingredients. My family loves that they aren’t eating the same ol’ things every single week. And I LOVE that the guesswork has been taken out of my dinner prep. You just check the shopping list, buy what you need, cook and serve. BOOM.
This was a delicious Ranch BLT Pasta Salad that I made last month. My family literally devoured it….TWICE.
And these were really delicious Turkey and Cheese wraps with an Apple Pecan Slaw.
The Wildtree site has a very handy search tool for finding various recipes depending on what products you have on hand. You can narrow the search by meal type or recipe name. This feature kind of made me geek out a little bit.
I’m just going to be upfront with y’all. I really and truly love these products. I wouldn’t tell you about them otherwise. I’m not selling them, although you can. My friend Mary does that quite well. You can host “tastings” with friends and all that jazz, but for me, I just love the monthly bundles that keep me out of the dinner rut…and out of restaurants (hello, saving money!). So, with that said…

There you have it! The very best way I’ve found to stay out of the dinner rut! Tonight I made a delicious Cranberry Jalapeno Baked Chicken and several people commented on how delicious it smelled cooking when they walked in the back door. Ha!
What is your tried and true way for staying out of the dinner rut?

Would love to win this for my family to try!

Cool! I would live to give these products a try! I am not a creative cook – I need all the help I can get!
Wow, these look good. I love thai green curry; I’d love to ty theirs.
Peppermint Hot chocolate
Just a heads up that the links say you need to find a representative. Love this concept! I am in a rut right now!
I think I fixed it. This is the correct link to shop – http://www.mywildtree.com/MARYVIRNIG/
We are gluten free and soy free so I am interested in the cluten free line. And I would be really interested in if they could make a soy free mayonnaise or ranch dressing.

Our Creamy Ranch Dressing and Dip mix as well as our Spicy Chipotle Ranch blend doesn’t contain wheat or soybeans! The gluten free line is made in a specific factory that is completely gluten free and makes no gluten products. Many of the other products are naturally gluten free but could potentially be made in the same facility as other products containing soy or gluten. If you’d like to see the allergen list please let me know! No mayo yet but I’m hoping they’ll come up with one!
These look awesome and yummy. The pasta looks so good.
I liked her page.

Hi Barbara! I am the rep working with Myra! Please contact me at marysvirnig@gmail.com and we can connect for me to help you out!
I’m interested in the meat seasonings!
If you click on this link you should go right to my site http://www.mywildtree.com/maryvirnig.
Thanks for reviewing this products Myra! I am so happy they are working for your family! I am so excited to introduce everyone to Wildtree! Overwhelmed on where to get started? I was too! I found the best thing for our family was the “Simple. Healthy. Dinner.” meals each month and the ½ price menu planner customer special. Each comes with 8-10 recipes and the products to make all of them time and time again! These change each month so we gets tons of variety! Many of the recipes also freeze so I can make a bunch at once to pull out on busy nights!
Keep in mind that you’re buying these products in bulk so you’ll get tons of meals from each jar! When you break down the price per serving almost all Wildtree products cost the same or are even cheaper than an equivalent conventional grocery product! BUT the Wildtree products are free from GMOs, preservatives, fillers, and many are certified organic! If you’re stuck with what to do with a product just head to the website where a convenient drop down menu lets you look up recipes by the product.
I also host local tastings and workshops where you prep 10 meals with your friends to pop in the freezer! Not local? I do fast and fun 30 minute live facebook parties as well to help you get started! You earn rewards for free products from any type of party! Wildtree has also been a great business for my family and I am always looking for motivated team members who want to help host their own parties and bring these nutritional products to their family.
Please visit my website at http://www.mywildtree.com/maryvirnig or wildtreebymary@gmail.com for more information! I answer emails within 24 hours and am happy to help! There is so much to share!
I’d love to try the seasonings – they all sound yummy!

Sounds like a good resource!! I love the look of those wraps you mentioned above. :). I also like the Robust Tortilla Soup, Texas Cornbread and the Gaucamole seasoning…wow, I see a theme going here. 😉
I’m interested in the gluten free products!
Hi! This is my first time to your site and I’m loving all of the great ideas and tips. I’ve never tried the Wildtree products before and I’m looking forward to checking out the Creamy Ranch Dressing & Dip Mix Thxs
Just liked her FB page (cissy davis) I found lots of yummy new products there was well (peppermint hot chocolate – can’t wait to try this one!)
I usually go straight for the DIY projects however I saw the pic of the pasta salad and I was pulled in:). When i can afford it, I’m all about whole and organic ingredients. There are more lines coming out that are organic because the demand is there so I’m curious how this company stands out. I’d love to try it and compare:).
