This is the perfect month to choose to go "green" with Watkins! 

Did you know that,  according to "Marketplace" (CBC Television), 

"In Canada, respiratory illness is now the leading cause of admission to hospital for children.  Childhood asthma has jumped by 400%.  After injuries, cancer is now the leading cause of death in children between the ages of five and nine."

It has been proven that many of the "commercial" cleaning products that we purchase to keep our children safe are actually causing both short and long-term damage to them!  And Marketplace also states:

"If you had the kind of labeling laws that they have in Europe, where it would tell you that 'this product contains something that may cause cancer' and another similar product that does the same job doesn't, you might not buy the product that contains the carcinogen," said Larry Stoffman, and international expert on chemical hazards information."

If YOU were given the choice, which would you choose? - The SAFE product, of course... right?  Well you DO have a choice!  WATKINS TO THE RESCUE!! 

Watkins home care and laundry products are free of the toxins we see in many "off the shelf" cleaners ... why?  Because Watkins has been interested in providing you and your family "total health and wellness" since 1868!  We are in this for the long-haul, you could say.  Take a closer look at Watkins home care, laundry and personal care products today, and discover how a SAFER product can give you BETTER results - both immediate AND long-term!

TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE

From lowering cholesterol to reducing fine lines and wrinkles, it turns out that the oil inside those tiny seeds in grapes has a whole "bunch" of benefits! Top chefs are now cooking with Grapeseed oil because of its amazing effect on enhancing the natural flavors of food.   The late Master Chef, Jean Louis Palladin, noticed that his customers always felt good after a meal cooked in Grapeseed oil.

It's one of the few foods known that not only reduces LDL (the bad cholesterol), but raises HDL (the good  cholesterol).  This helps to keep arteries clear, which may contribute to another benefit of Grapeseed oil--its potential to guard against impotence.

Watkins Grapeseed Oil comes in 4 gourmet flavors:

  1. Original (01535)

  2. Garlic & Parsley (01527)

  3. Citrus & Cilantro (01528)

  4. Black Pepper (01530)

You'll also find Grapeseed oil in Watkins liquid spices... Garlic (01892), Ginger-Garlic (01893) and Onion (01895)!

EASY and HEALTHY DIPPING SAUCE

You can enjoy dipping your favorite focaccia bread in a sauce that is DELICIOUS & HEALTHY. Simply pour your favorite Watkins Grapeseed oil in a shallow bowl. Sprinkle one of Watkins Pasta Toppers over the oil and top with fresh ground Watkins Garlic Pepper or our Granulated Onion and Garlic blend.

TASTY POTATO PEELS

Always scrub potatoes before you peel them, but don't throw out the peels! Drizzle a bit of Watkins Grapeseed oil (Garlic & Parsley would be delicious) over the peels and sprinkle with a bit of ground Watkins Sea salt or Watkins Onion or Garlic salt. Spread on a cooking sheet and bake until crisp. They will make a crunchy appetizer.

 Try dipping in Watkins Tropical Salsa!

Sticky Spicy Chicken

  • 1 cup peach jam (apricot or orange can be used)

  • 1/2 cup Watkins BBQ Sauce (mixed per bottle instructions)

  • 2 TBSP Watkins Onion Flakes

  • 1-2 TBSP Watkins Hot Honey or Spicy Garlic Soy Sauce

Combine sauce ingredients in saucepan and heat until well blended (can be done in microwave). Place 1 cut-up chicken (or breasts and/or thighs) in a 9x13 casserole and pour sauce over all. Bake at 325º for one hour. Baste during last 1/2 hour of cooking.

Delicious served over one of Watkins rice blends.

Salted Nut Bars

Mix together 3 c flour, 1-1/2 c packed brown sugar, 1 tsp salt and 1 c butter and press into a 15x10 pan. Bake 10-12 min. at 350°. Remove from oven and completely cover with mixed salted nuts (approx. 3 cups). Mix together 3/4 c corn syrup, 3 TBSP butter, 1-1/2 TBSP water, 1-1/2 c butterscotch chips and 1 tsp Watkins Vanilla Nut Extract and boil for 2 min. Pour carefully all over nuts. Put in oven for another 10 - 12 min. Only cool 1/2 hour before you cut them.

Cajun Peanuts

  • 2 cups cocktail peanuts (or plain salted peanuts)

  • 1 tsp WATKINS Garlic & Parsley or Black Pepper Grapeseed Oil

  • 1 TBSP WATKINS Cajun Pepper

Combine peanuts and oil (enough to lightly coat peanuts); toss or shake to coat. Add the Cajun Pepper and toss or shake again to coat evenly. What a delicious snack for those who enjoy things a little "spicy"! Makes 2 cups.

Shave Butter Over the Topping

Many recipes for casseroles and pies ask you to "dot" the surface with butter just before putting the dish into the oven. Instead of dicing butter (which is a messy proposition at the best of times), try using a vegetable peeler to shave the desired amount of butter off (make sure its a very cold stick of butter) and it will fall onto the food in fine curls! EASY… EASY!!

Dip Mix Tips!

More uses for Watkins Dip Mixes beyond veggies!

  • Mix Watkins Bacon Cheddar Dip Mix with sour cream (low fat works too) and use on baked potatoes instead of butter.

  • Make delicious hash brown potatoes for breakfast: Heat Watkins Original Grapeseed Oil in skillet. Add chopped onion, red or green bell pepper, potatoes, and Watkins Bacon Cheddar Dip Mix. You can also add sausage, ham or bacon. You don't even need to serve this with eggs. Makes a great meal itself served with some fruit. Also delicious made with Watkins Salsa and Sour Cream Dip Mix.

  • Mix Watkins Crab Dip Mix with cream cheese and shredded crab or imitation crab and several drops of Watkins Calypso Hot Sauce. Use as a spread for crackers or bagels.
