[quote=Anonymous]I disagree with the previous reviews. I am not a rep, just a customer. I have been using Wildtree since August. While the seasonings and sauces are a little pricey, they are super healthy - organic, non-GMO, no HFCS or bad fats, and many are gluten free. If you are trying to avoid processed foods, it can be hard to find meal helpers that don't have artificial colors or preservatives. It is true that Wildtree products are low in sodium (and lacking in MSG) but that allows you to control how much salt you like. For example, we eat a fairly low sodium diet so when we eat other seasoning mixes and sauces, we get headaches.  We can use the amount of salt we like with Wildtree.

Wildtree is nothing like Penzeys (which I also use and like). Wildtree is more about seasoning blends and sauces to make your meal time faster and easier, as well as healthier.  I think of Wildtree not as my source for spices but as my source for convenience foods, which I do not buy at the grocery because they are so unhealthy.  I use their taco and fajita mixes because they don't have MSG and preservatives. They have a number of sauces and marinades that are quick and easy - brown the meat and add the sauce, then simmer or marinate while you are at work and bake or grill. Yes, you can buy a marinade cheaper at the store but they taste like chemicals and are full of MSG and HFCS. Wildtree marinades taste like real, fresh food.  My family has loved everything but the cajun seasoning (not a flavor we enjoy). Even my pickiest eater has loved 90% of the food I've made with Wildtree.

The workshops are not cheap and yes, you can find meal prep instructions online for free. They should say it's an entree prep, not a meal prep. I was upset about that the first time too.  What I like about the workshops is the planning is done for you.  Again, you are paying a bit more for convenience. The workshops for me give me new ideas and recipes so I'm not always making the same 3 or 4 meals over and over.  I've done 3 workshops now and have had only 2 recipes that were so-so and one that no one cared for.  Again, my picky eater raves, which is almost worth the extra cost to me for the peace and quiet!  I have used most of the leftover seasonings from my workshops, purchased an additional bundle, and bought some single items as well.  We've enjoyed not only the recipes on the packaging but also on their website.

If you are perfectly happy with Hamburger Helper and Lawrys and similar brands, you probably aren't going to find much value in Wildtree. However, as someone who has actively avoided those commerical brands for decades and had to make all her sauces, dressings, marinades, etc. from scratch, I am really enjoying having some pre-made options that I know my family can eat without getting sick. It's really mixed up my meal rotation and added some awesome new recipes to our line up. The green curry and the potpie skillet meal have become family favorites (my kids have never had a skillet meal in their life before Wildtree). My mother-in-law eats super-healthy, way more extreme than I, and has become a huge fan of Wildtree as well.  [/quote]
