MAKE YOUR CHRISTMAS COOKIES VIBRANT WITH COLOR!
Watkins has a great new line of food colors
The company unveiled a new set of food colors bound to make your Christmas cookies look unbelievably sharp. Professional food stylists were so Food Colorsimpressed with the Watkins food colorings, they couldn't stop raving about the vibrant colors they could create. Color stays strong unlike other brands (red doesn't fade into pink.)
     Glaze your cookies with this quick and easy recipe: 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tbsp water.
To make new colors mix the following colors together
Red + Yellow = Orange
Yellow + Blue = Green
Blue + Red = Purple

BUT ORDER SOON. THE FOOD COLORS ARE PART OF OUR SEASONAL FAVORITES AND WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE THIS FALL.

A year ago if you had told me I would love ANYTHING with Hazelnut flavoring, I would have told you you were nuts. But this is my favorite recipe for frosting cookies. The flavor is unbelievable.

Hazelnut Frosting for Shortbread Cookies
4 cups Powdered Sugar
1/2 cup butter
3-4 tbsp milk
1-2 tsp Watkins Hazelnut Extract to taste
Use food coloring if desired. Combine all the ingredients. Beat until smooth. Frost the cookies.    
Watkins Spice Rack
Now you can easily and attractively display your organic spices from Watkins

Watkins spice rack
Purchase 12 of Watkins new Organic Spices, and the Spice Rack is yours for only $11.99. Hint, hint: the Organic Chicken Seasoning is out of this world on sauteed chicken with a little white wine. Otherwise, the regular price of the spice rack is  $21.99. Organic herbs and spices actually have a noticeable difference in flavor because of the soil in which they are grown.
Cousin Margie's Fudge
This recipe is to die for
Get a 2 quart heavy metal sauce pan
2 cups sugar
2/3 cups evaporated skim milk
12 regular sized marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
Stir is all up on medium heat until it comes to a strong boil then continue to stir and cook it boiling for five more minutes. Watch it so it does not burn  Turn off the heat, and stir in 6 oz of Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, 2 teaspoons of Watkins Pure Vanilla Extract. Add 1 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 to 1 cup small marshmallows. Put it in an 8" square pan and stick it in the refrigerator. Store in refrigerator, but serve at room temperature.
It's also possible to pour the hot fudge into mini-muffin pan cups with holiday liners to make a lovely display. I have mailed these across the country and they arrived deliciously.
Regarding the type of vanilla I use, I generally recommend  Watkins Original Double-Strength Vanilla in all your cooking and freezing recipes because it retains its flavor. The only exceptions are whipping cream, frosting and Cousin Margie's Fudge. It's best with Pure Vanilla Extract.

Do you suffer from a chronic illness?
My new business might have something to offer you.
It's called www.GoodHealthtoWealth.com
Three months ago, I suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I slept 14 hours a day, and woke up tired. I started taking a product called Immunocal, and within six weeks I suddenly recovered my energy. Now I've added Immunotec's Cherry Concentrate, and I can sleep eight hours and wake refreshed. Click on the link above to investigate all of Immunotec's natural cures.

For Phoenix, Mesa, Gold Canyon, Apache Junction, AZ
I haven't started a new business. My friend, Lisa Martin, has. And some of you may know that I cook all my Watkins dishes (my husband's dinner too) on Pampered Chef pots and pans. I decided I needed a new bread pan and a 12-inch saute pan. We can all save money on shipping if we order together. Normal shipping is $6.25 and up, 10 to 11 percent of the value of the merchandise ordered. But with this offer the maximum you will pay is $4.25, and you can get free shipping if you chose to pay by check. I will just roll your order in with mine. Also my sales tax is very low in Gold Canyon, only 6.7%

I will deliver the products to you once they arrive. I made zucchini bread this week. I cooked one loaf in Pampered Chef loaf pan, and one in an old tin pan. The Pampered Chef loaf was delicious and moist. The other was dry. Interested in ordering?
