I decided to start something new, been wanting to do this since I watched the movie Julie & Julia so finally got it together and here I go. I am going to post recipes and make them, plus take a picture of everything I make and post it on Facebook. The thing is, since I am an Independent Watkins Associate #300500 I use only Watkins products so everything I make is made with Watkins. I hope you enjoy this as much as I am doing it. I love to cook and I love to share what I make. Cooking has been in my family on both sides so I come from a long line of great cooks, even my father was a cook (his birthday would have been today, he passed away in 1997).
So please visit my Facebook page, 365 Days Cooking with Watkins Products. I will give you the item number if you would like to order it from me. The products are great and 100% guaranteed or your money back. Enjoy the ride for the year. If you use Watkins products in any of your recipes please post it on the Facebook page and share it with us. I love trying new recipes and I know lots of other people do too.

The Dreaded Colonscopy
Yep, that is what I am talking about. Had my very first one today. Started the prep yesterday of eating nothing and only drinking clear fluids. At 5:00 P.M. I started drinking that very "tasty" concoction. I was really glad to finish the last sip, but it wasn't that bad. I won't go into detail about the rest of the evening but it could have been worse. The actual procedure this morning wasn't that bad either. I heard too many people talk about theirs but to tell you the truth it is not that bad. I am happy to say I do not have to have another one for 10 years and all is well. So please, don't put this off because of other peoples stories.

The Spice Connection
I recently took a trip to an Amish community and visited many of their stores. I love how you can buy in bulk and I could get about anything you could think of.
I found the section of spices and it would have been tempting to pick up some of their plastic bags of spices and plastic containers of spices but being that I am an Independent Watkins Associate and have been since 1982 just didn't seem right to me. In the back of my mind I was being tempted by the devil to do it, but I am very proud of my business and what products we have. I am proud of how they are made right here in Minnesota and the quality is the best. Why would anyone want to bake or cook something that doesn't use the best products for their guests or family?
I am not only talking about their stores, you can go into many other stores and find spices in plastic containers. This of course is all my own opinions and from what I have read on the subject of keeping spices fresh. I get asked this question a lot because of what I do.
What you put into food and your emotions reflects on the person who eats it, if it is made with love people know it. I love the Watkins products and the quality they represent.
I just received the May/June AARP Magazine and ran across this paragraph:
" Supermarket Guru's Spice Advice--Most spices will last 6 to 12 months, if they're stored properly. The longer they sit in the cupboard, the more likely they will lose their health benefits. So always store spices in glass jars, says Phil Lempert (aka the Supermarket Guru)-and transfer those that come in plastic to glass."
Ah, so how long have those spices been sitting on their shelves in plastic bags and plastic containers? We will never know. Furthermore, if you do buy them and have to go and buy the glass jars is that really saving you money?
Watkins spices are so fresh and put in glass jars to begin with. I don't have to worry about their freshness, plus if you are not happy for any reason the products are 100% money back guarantee. Would a grocery store do that?
I can show you how to save 25% on the products you buy from Watkins and even how to start your own home based business from one of the oldest and first home based business companies around. Watkins is still in business since 1868 and still thriving. Let me show you how.
