So, what does it cost to join? $35 – $50 right? What do you get for it? Lower prices. Nice. I like lower prices too. That’s a good thing – in this economy, any price break is a good thing.

Hi, my name is Barb and I’m a food addict…

Barb — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 14:42:49 +0000

Hi Barb! Yeah, I’m going to have to admit it. I LOVE food. Live to eat vs eat to live. I spend about 75% of my waking hours thinking about what I’m going to eat, when I’m going to eat – it’s crazy! Luckily – I’m a healthy eater. I can make the most wonderful, clean, nutritious meals – it’s no wonder I love food. I’m an excellent cook! Last night we had company and my husband went to town, wings, poppers, fries, weenies wrapped in bacon – what?!? Where’s the salad? Where are my healthy green vegetables? I told our company that my husband was very happy they came as he doesn’t get the chance to eat like that… So, I waited until everyone was done and snuck into the kitchen to make something I wanted to eat. I made a delicious, creamy polenta and to season it I added Watkin’s Organic Chicken Seasoning, so good! I went out to the garden, picked a zucchini and a green pepper – sliced them up and sauteed them in olive oil with a little Watkin’s Garlic Liquid Spice then when they were properly carmelized served them in a bowl over the polenta. I know I’ve mentioned that I’m losing weight – 40 lbs so far, and it’s amazing to me that I can eat so much and still lose weight. You have to make a committment to yourself to get healthy. Be a food addict like me! Take a minute to go to the “buy Watkins” link on the right, don’t forget – Independent Associate #383996!

Shopping Day!

Barb — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:06:33 +0000

Well, it happens once a year – the Fall/Holiday assortments become available! I can’t tell you how excited I am! Now, you know I’ve subtly hinted around in each of my posts about Watkins products, duh? Well, today I purchased the 2009 Seasonal Assortment! Loaded with gifts for giving, new mixes and seasonings – and Pumpkin Butter! OMG, who doesn’t love that? You take a nice, toasted whole grain muffin, warm from the toaster of course, and spread some Pumpkin Butter on it! I’m telling you – it’s the Holidays! Honestly, there’s a Lemon Soap/Lemon Lotion set in a wire basket that someone’s getting for Christmas! It constantly amazes me that the products I love, eco-friendly, natural and affordable can be delivered to me in no time. If you do anything for the holidays, bake, give gifts, decorate, anything – I urge you to go to the “buy Watkins” link and just browse. You won’t be sorry! I can hardly wait for the package to come and I just placed my order! Don’t worry though, as soon as I get that package – I’ll be on to tell you about it!

Pizza! Pizza!

Barb — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:33:10 +0000

I have to tell you – I was so excited when I got my first bag of Watkins pizza crust mix (whole wheat of course!) It was so easy to make – add water, knead, let rise. I went out and picked banana peppers, green pepper, red pepper, fresh basil and some roma tomatoes. I sliced all the peppers so thin, did a chiffonade on the basil and did rounds of roma. The crust spread out on my pizza stone so nice. Then, the Watkins garlic grapeseed oil – just a thin layer – I put all of the veggies on, sprinkled a little freshly grated asiago cheese and some 2% shredded mozzarella – :15 minutes later I had a pizza you would’ve paid $25 for at Pizza Fusion!!! Unbelieveable!

I can’t tell you how glad I am that Watkins is here for us all. Gourmet, affordable and organic. It’s so important to feed your body the fuel it needs.

Have I told you lately that I’ve lost 40 lbs? If that’s not incentive – what is? Follow me people! To good health!

Be Your Own Boss!

Barb — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:10:12 +0000

If you were your own Boss, would you expect a lot from your employees? I mean, think about it. If you controlled your own destiny, would you (the Boss) sit back and say – take the day off, you deserve it! Well, of course you do deserve it, but people who run their own companies expect a lot from their employees and they should! When you run your own company – you have to be just as tough on yourself – you have to expect results! I’m not the best boss of me. I need to work harder. I have to find the right words to inspire you to want to achieve your dreams! Watkins can make that happen for you! Trust me! I’m a boss! Okay, not the best reason – but think about this – Watkins has been around since 1868, providing quality spices, flavorings, oils, home remedies – you name it! They have an excellent product, who wouldn’t want to sell that? The best thing about it is – you don’t really have to sell it – you buy it, you inspire others to buy it, you use it, you want others to use it – people love this stuff! A lot of times, just the name evokes memories of a long gone era – gives you the feeling of security. Makes you want to cook! And clean! Okay, maybe not clean – but it makes you realize that providing the safest home for your family is important. It’s also really great to realize that while you’re providing eco-friendly products, promoting health, supporting overall well-being – you’re earning money! It’s a win-win-win-win situation. You can be Healthy, Wealthy and Green.

Working from home – living the life you deserve – it’s right there – reach for it. Click on the links on the bottom right – behealthywealthyandgreen.net (Sell Watkins) - read about what can happen for you – no commitment – just read it. Vote me the “best boss”! Thanks for listening!!

Christmas in July

Barb — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:26:37 +0000

One of my most favorite things is waiting for my Watkins order to come. I tear into it. Somehow the pleasure of just getting a package in the mail is a real thrill. I truly love opening that box and physically seeing each new thing. I’m making a point of ordering new and different things every month just to learn and explore. I’ve never been disappointed! I keep reordering the BBQ sauce! I’m a BBQ lover and that sauce is fan-tastic! Every spice is so pure, so fresh, so natural. You know – I am a big believer in healthy cooking and to take those seasonings and sprinkle them on fresh vegetables and steam them – yum!

Every month new items are featured at discounted prices and in this economy, any discount is welcome. I try to get as many as I can, just so I can pass on my findings to you. I love to talk Watkins too! This summer as we have people over to enjoy the pool and great conversations, I can’t wait to let everyone know about the dips they’re eating, the lemon mousse they’re raving about, the lemony cream that keeps my skin so moist. It’s a joy!

I hope you feel my enthusiasm and realize that the Watkins way of life is not only a way to enjoy healthy, natural products, but it’s a way to share secrets to the good life with your friends. Of course having the extra dollars in my pocket from sales is a bonus!

Merry Christmas! Barb Haas – Independent Watkins Associate #383996!

Spice it UP!!

Barb — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:01:48 +0000

I have a confession – sometimes I’m a lazy cook. It’s true. Creative, but sometimes – just not into it. Last night I was SO tired and faced with making dinner when I really wanted to be floating in the pool, what to do?

Here’s what I did – I spiced it UP!! I made pan-fried green beans and used Watkins Liquid Garlic with Watkins Pepper and Sea Salt – then I microwaved (yes, I did…) baked potatoes and topped them with leftover Watkins Crab Snack Dip from a party we had this weekend, threw Ribeye steaks on the grill, seasoned them with the Watkins Organic Beef Seasoning – then served them with Watkins Steak Sauce!! Everything was ready in less than :30 minutes and the flavors just exploded! It was one of the best dinners ever.

You can pull this off too! Just visit the new Watkins site (links are on the right!) and see all the products just waiting to spice up your life! Remember, we’re Independent Associates #383996.

Oh, and if you see my family around – don’t tell them about me being lazy, it’s our secret!

Thanks!
