Vegetable
Roll-Ups

You won't mind eating your veggies in these tasty roll-ups.  These are even great to take school for lunch, too!

Utensils You Will Need

  • Rubber spatula
  • Medium bowl
  • Dry measuring spoons
  • Table knife
  • Grater
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients You Will Need to Make 12 Vegetable Roll-Ups

  • 1 tub (8 ounces/250 ml) soft-whipped reduced-calorie cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons/30 ml Watkins Garden Vegetable Dip Mix or Garlic Dill Dip Mix
  • 1 teaspoon/5 ml Watkins Onion Flakes
  • 6 (small) flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup/125 ml shredded carrot
  • 1/2 cup/125 ml finely chopped broccoli
  • 1/2 cup/125 ml finely chopped cauliflower

How To Make It

  1. With a rubber spatula, remove the cream cheese from the tub and place it into a bowl; let stand until it softens enough to stir.
  2. Add the Garden Vegetable Dip Mix and Onion Flakes to the cream cheese and mix well.  With the table knife, spread it evenly over the the flour tortillas.
  3. Sprinkle each tortilla with carrot, broccoli and cauliflower.
  4. Roll up each tortilla as tightly as possible and wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time.
  5. Cut each roll in half before serving.

  If you like to include apple or pear wedges or fresh peach slices in your lunch, dip the fruit in orange or grapefruit juice before wrapping in plastic wrap to keep them from turning brown before lunchtime.

Carry chilled foods like salads (that includes chicken, tuna, etc.) in a wide-mouth vacuum bottle.  To chill the vacuum bottle, fill it with ice water and let it stand for 5 minutes.  Empty out the water, then fill it with cold salad.

Frozen single-serve juice, milk, and applesauce cartons are also great "cold-packs".

Did 























You Know ...

Question Mark

Did you know that many sayings that we take for common place today actually originated during Medieval times?  For instance -

Keep it under your hat - Years ago when medieval warriors used long bows as their weapon of choice, an Archer would keep a spare bow-string under his helmet to keep it dry and ready to use.

Right out of the blue - Again, this originated from the Archers.  Because arrows are virtually silent weapons, they would quite literally come right out of the blue sky with little or no warning.

A Little Can Be A Lot!

Softening Your Clothes Could Be Killing Your DRYER???
(
This email was forwarded to us recently)

A LITTLE INFO ABOUT CLOTHES DRYERS:
"I had a wonderful morning, the heating unit went out of my dryer!  The guy that fixes things went in to the dryer and pulled out the lint filter.  It was clean.  We always clean the lint from the filter after every load of clothes.  He told us that he wanted to show us something. He took the filter over to the sink and ran hot water over it.  Now, this thing is like a mesh - I'm sure you know what your dryer's lint filter looks like.  WELL......the hot water just laid on top of the mesh!!! It didn't go through it at all!!!  He told us that dryer sheets cause a film over that mesh and that's what burns out the heating unit.  You can't SEE the film, but it's there. He said the best way to keep your dryer working for a very long time (and to keep your electric bill lower) is to take that filter out and wash it with hot soapy water and an old toothbrush (or other brush) at least every six months.  He said that makes the life of the dryer at least twice as long!  How about that???!!!!  Learn something new everyday!  I certainly didn't know dryer sheets would do that. So, thought I'd share!"

Watkins Product - Fabric Softener.... Well, YOU need not worry about this!  You can create your own "dryer sheets" using Watkins Fabric Softener and an old face cloth that will NOT create this film!  Simply place the cloth tightly over top of bottle, turn bottle upside down, repeat in 2-3 spots over the cloth, and voila! ... instant dryer sheet  :o)  We've been doing this for over 12 years and, of course, we tried the hot water test on our dryer's lint filter and, guess what ... the water ran clear through immediately!  As if there was ever any doubt!!!  

Watkins Fabric Softener will soften approximately 128 loads of laundry when used in the washing machine - imagine how many loads it will do when used as a dryer sheet!!! .... and starting now, you can purchase a bottle at its new lower price - see the specials for this month for details!

Now you not only extend the life of your dryer
 - you can save
TONS of money on dryer sheets, too!   

 

Some "Fast Watkins Facts"!
Did You Realize That ...

  • Watkins Gourmet Herbs are as good as home-grown!  Although nothing will replace the flavour of fresh-picked herbs and spices, that is not always an option for many of us.  What's the next best thing?  Watkins selects only the highest grade possible and then processes them very carefully to ensure the maximum amount of natural essential oils are preserved.  Great ALL year long!
  • Watkins Fresh Wash is laboratory-proven to remove over 90% of surface contaminants and impurities!  One bottle of Concentrate will make FIVE refill bottles of spray!
  • When you prepare Watkins Snack & Dip Seasonings, YOU control the type and content of fat!  We provide the flavour - you choose the medium - sour cream, yogurt, mayo - low fat, no fat, regular fat!  Plus, because Watkins Dip Mixes come in resealable glass jars, they will stay fresh and ready to use for months!
  • Watkins Pickling Spice does more than "pickles"!  Add it to the water when cooking beets, cabbage, broccoli, spinach, or even shrimp and seafood!  It's also great for use in marinades, preserves and even pot roast!  You'll want to have a bottle on hand all year round - but get it early - it's only available for a limited time!
  • Watkins Baking Powder is actually a double-rising baking powder!  If you are used to using hard to find "self-rising" flour, this will produce the same results!
  • Watkins Cooking Spray uses an environmentally-friendly propellant!
  • Watkins Cinnamon can actually help to control sugar levels in your body!  Just 1/4 tsp/1.2 ml per day can help keep you "regular"  :o)
  • Watkins Citrus Grove Room Spray and Candle contain real orange oil - which is proven to be a very energizing scent - perfect to spray just before you grab the dusting cloth for an extra burst of energy!
  • Watkins Toilet Bowl Cleanser is, quite literally, the BEST on the market!  We have personally been witness to sparkling clean toilet bowls that had previously been very badly iron-stained, and even 1/4 inch thick with lime build-up - and with it's septic-safe formula, it's great for those tough well-water problems, too!
  • Watkins Generation III Laundry Detergent and Watkins Laundry Detergent are BOTH PERFECT for front-loading washing machines!  Don't let the term "high-energy" detergent fool you - it just means that it will not produce a lot of suds .... which Watkins has never done since its inception over 20 years ago!!
  • Watkins Mood Plus / Balance Plus is perfect to use as an occasional sleep agent!  Take 2 caplets before going to bed to help relax your mind and body so you can get a good night's sleep!
  • All of Watkins Vanilla Personal Care line of products is scented with REAL Watkins Vanilla!  This natural ingredient reacts with each person a little bit differently, giving everyone their own "personal" vanilla fragrance!
  • Watkins Red Clover Salve is a perfect addition to your manicure regimen!  Before going to bed, take a few minutes to massage each nail and cuticle with a very small amount of Salve - not only will your nails be stronger and your cuticles softer, you will always look like you've just had a fresh manicure!
