[quote=Anonymous]I'm a Wildtree rep.  I picked it up earlier this year but haven't really put much work in to it so I'm not doing much other than breaking even.  I really do think the workshops are worth it.  The Wildtree product bundle might seem a little pricey, but they are high quality items.  The rep puts a lot of work in to prepping for the workshop; workstation setup, workstation recipes, recipe labels for the bags and making sure that everything is organized and runs smoothly.  I went to another freezer meal workshop last year that took FOUR hours.  It was horribly disorganized and confusing.  At the end of that time, I only came home with 6 (I split to 12) meals.  I could have done that at home in the same amount of time.  And the spices (Pampered Chef) that I came away with were only eh.  With Wildtree, you come home with 10, or 20 if you're a small family, meals.  There is pre-workshop prep on your end, sorting/chopping the proteins, prepping the veg, labeling the bags, etc. but if you do it yourself, you still need to put this work in to it.   At least with a workshop, you do it all at once and you're done.  On Sunday night, pull a few meals out of the freezer and let them thaw over the course of the week.  I go through every other month or so and make a workshop for myself and toss the meals in the freezer so they're ready to go.  This isn't the complete meal, you usually need to throw in a starch, rice, quinoa, pasta.  BUT, the hard work (planning and prep) are all done, so even if you need to toss some quinoa in a pot, it's a lot easier to know you have something for dinner than coming home at 5-6pm and scrambling to see what's in the fridge/pantry.

If you don't want to go to a workshop, although that's where all the fun and socializing is, Wildtree also has two other options; Simple Healthy Dinner (each meal under 600 calories) and a monthly menu planner bundle.  Each comes with a grocery list (sorted by category) and recipe instructions. Simple Healthy Dinner has step by step photos with each recipe as well. The only downside I can think of with the workshops is the volume of ziploc bags that are used.  I suggest double bagging because air is your enemy with freezer meals and you don't want freezer burn.  [/quote]
