appleFresh Louisiana Buttermilk Pie
I found this at the historic Cabin Restaurant in Plantation Country in Southern Louisiana.
Wow, what a way to enjoy Watkins famous vanilla and cinnamon! Here's a great recipe for Buttermilk Pie from Plantation Country in Louisiana! When I was in graduate school in Kentucky, I became addicted to Chess Pie, which is basically a butter and egg pie similar to this one. Now, my son's favorite pie is Mississippi Mud Pie, which is a chocolate version of of the Chess Pie. Now this one is a cinnamon-buttermilk version. Cooks in the South can really make great pies. Plus ALL the Watkins Ingredients are on sale this month and we have free shipping over $50! Bon Appetite!
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon Watkins Purest Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Watkins Original Double Strength Vanilla
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 lb. melted butter
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk

Mix the first six ingredients on slow speed until well blended and uniform. Add the buttermilk and mix well. Pour into an unbaked 9" pie shell and bake at 350 degree F for 40 minutes or until set and brown on the top.

It needs a butter crust. Here is my Mom's famous pie crust recipe to boot. Sift together 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon Watkins Aluminum-Free Baking Powder,1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/8 teaspoon of salt, then put in 1/2 cup softened organic butter. Cut with a knife, then flour your hands and rub the butter and flour together until thoroughly mixed. Add 1 teaspoon water and mold into a ball. Roll it out and put in the pie pan.

Not only our baking powder, but all Watkins Cooking Staples are on sale this month including our wonderful Baking Cocoa and our Cooking Spray.

My friend, Claudia had one of these parties, and this is what she said about the experience: "I would highly recommend working with Susan to host a Watkins Ether Party. It was so easy to accomplish and it had great success. I especially appreciated that as a host, I didn't have to clean my house, prepare food, or worry about how many would attend. All I did was collect the email addresses of my friends and neighbors. Susan did the rest. She sent out the invites and information and collected the orders. The turn around was fast and friends shared that they liked shopping from their own home. Also, I was nicely surprised at how much was ordered. If you have a busy life, consider trying this method. You won't be disappointed."
If you really enjoy the closeness of a face to face with your friends, I can organize a themed Good Tastings party for you that will knock their socks off. It will be fun! Besides great food to eat, everyone can play Watkins Bingo. If you are out of state, put me on the speaker phone and I will personally award the Bingo prizes.

Susan Fox' Blue Ribbon Chili
Spicy and Delicious:
Make it as hot or as bland as you want.
2 lbs. lean ground beef
2 tsp Watkins Meat Magic
2 tsp. red wine
Olive Oil
1 lb buffalo ground beef (gives it extra flavor & protein, very healthy for growing children)
1 lb ground beef
2-3 big onions sliced thin
1 eggplant chopped
2 zucchini chopped
4 chopped fresh tomatoes
One ball of organic fresh garlic about 20 cloves chopped, or if you can't get organic, it's better to use Watkins Garlic Granules as it's more flavorful than regular fresh garlic.
1 or more tsp of Watkins Calypso Hot Pepper Sauce to taste.
6 oz (half bottle) Watkins Tropical Salsa
2 cans (14.5 oz each) of S&W Ready Cut Diced Tomatoes
2-3 cans red kidney beans
1 can (6 oz.) Tomato Paste
5 tbsp. Watkins Chili Seasoning (more or less to taste)
1 tsp Watkins Rosemary (more to taste)
1 tbsp. more or less to taste of Watkins Cumin
1 tbsp of Watkins Chili Powder if you want a hotter taste. It's optional if you are using the Watkins Chili Seasoning.
About 20 fresh mushrooms sliced
1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar to taste. If you don't like it sweet, use less or none.
Salt & pepper to taste.
In a frying pan, brown the beef and buffalo. Before you begin browning it, put in about 2 teaspoons of Watkins Meat Magic throughout the meat (Shake Meat Magic thoroughly before using, and don't think more is better. You only need a small amount to bring out the flavor of the meat) and once it starts cooking add about 2 tablespoons of red cooking wine. Set the cooked meat aside. If you used lean hamburger, it is not necessary to drain the fat.  Coast a large frying pan with olive oil. Add more as needed to prevent burning. Now add onions, garlic and eggplant. Saute on medium high heat for about 10 minutes or longer.  Now add zucchini and fresh tomatoes. This is actually the French vegetable recipe Ratatouie  which is the basis of all my tomato/onion sauces. Saute uncovered until the flavors are mingled, about 10-15 minutes. Put the Ratatouie and the meat into a large soup pot, and turn on medium initially until it starts boiling. Now saute the mushroom in olive oil in the same pan you used to cook the meat or the vegetables. Meanwhile add the tomato paste, Calypso Sauce, canned tomatoes, kidney beans, Rosemary Cumin, Chili Seasoning, Chili Powder and Tropical Salsa to the sup pot. Also throw in a palm of salt and some pepper to taste. I use Watkins Purest Granulated Black Pepper or I will grind in some Watkins Garlic Peppercorn Blend. Add the cooked mushrooms. Stir. On the stovetop bring to a boil and simmer on lower heat for one hour. Add the brown sugar, salt and pepper to taste. At this point if it's not hot enough for you add more chili powder and calypso. You probably will need more salt, and you can add more brown sugar to taste. Cook another 10-15 minutes.
For garnish, serve with diced onions, shredded chedder cheese, sour cream, Watkins Red Pepper Flakes or Watkins Calypso Hot Pepper Sauce.
It's also great served with Watkins Good Tastings Bread made with beer. The bread will make it a complete meal.
Susan Fox Hi. I'm Susan Fox.
MY BUSINESS IS GROWING RIGHT NOW. Are you looking for a way to earn some extra income, pay off debt, prepare for retirement, protect yourself against job loss? Does your 401K need recharging after the recent market plunge? Even in a down economy, Watkins is an excellent business opportunity. Watkins is  recession-proof because "people need to eat. They need consumables, personal care and cleaning products (even in a recession.)" according to Wayne Unruh, #1 top manager at Watkins for 2008, and  my mentor in the business. I read that during a recession, businesses tend to pull in their horns and advertise less. That leaves the rest of us -- willing to keep plugging away -- ahead of the game. In spiritual terms, the Holy Scripture talks about the virtue needed to survive both in a recession and in real life:  patient endurance. Sign up for Watkins today. It only costs $39.95. You immediately get 25 percent off all your purchases. And if you pursue it as a business, you will be poised to profit when everyone else is giving up.
Sincerely, Susan Fox (480) 671-3824
