Yep, same photo as the shredded BBQ vension, but this one is focusing on that yummy pile of white and yellow stuff - cheesy, creamy cauliflower! I confess, I intended to make "mashed" cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes. This is not that recipe as I failed. :) Thankfully, I stumbled onto another good recipe. Next time I will cook the cauliflower much longer and use the food processor instead of my electric beater. Even in a big bowl, using the electric beater made an absolute MESS all over my clean kitchen, go figure, right? I am blessed because my girls love cauliflower over every other vegetable. Time to find healthy and interesting recipes for cauliflower!
Ingredients:
1 lg. bag frozen cauliflower
1 TBSP Wildtree Absolutely Onion blend
2 TBSP cream cheese
1/4 c. sour cream
Optional: 1/2 c. shredded cheese
Cook cauliflower 6 minutes longer than recommended on the package. The softer the better. Finely chop cooked cauliflower in food processor. In a bowl, combine chopped cauliflower, Wildtree Absolutely Onion blend, cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until mixed. Return to sauce pan or microwave safe bowl and reheat about 5 minutes until sauce is smooth and heated through. Optional: Top with shredded cheese
Serves 4-6

Shredded Venison, BBQ's featuring Wildtree's Sloppy Joe Seasoning
Got venison? Not a fan of the wild game taste or perhaps looking for creative usages for the rather dry roasts? I did a little freestyle cooking again this weekend and found another kid-pleasing recipe and my venison was flavorful, no wild game taste and juicy! I have to preface this to say, I used the slow cooker for 8 hours the day before to cook and then shred the meat. However this recipe would work great as a leftover recycle or if you have a weekend and some time ~ start from the beginning! Sure, I could have dumped straight BBQ sauce into the shredded meat, but I found it more fun to experiment with my Wildtree staples to see what would happen! Your sure can use standard beef roast instead of vension.
Shredded Venison Roast (basic recipe) / 8 1/2 hours:
1 venison roast
1 package dry beef or onion soup/dip mix
8 cups water
-- allow roast to "rest" at room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking; resting allows the enzymes in the meat to relax (after being chilled) and contributes to meat that is so much more tender
-- Place roast in crock pot; mix soup mix with 4 c. water and pour over roast; add additional 4 c. water or until roast is covered.
-- 7 1/2 to 8 hours on low
-- turn off crock pot, remove lid, let sit for 20-30 minutes
-- shred meat with forks
BBQ Shredded Venison - 15 minutes
2 c. shredded venison
3 tsp. Wildtree Sloppy Joe seasoning
3 TBSP yellow mustard
3 TBSP BBQ sauce
1/2 c. water
Combine all ingredients in a small pot, simmer uncovered on medium-low for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve hot and enjoy.
Serves 4-6
