No Soup for You!

I love soup. It’s like a big warm hug on a cold day. I love that Seinfeld episode where the store won’t sell you soup unless you behave – Elaine just couldn’t get it… “No soup for you!”

We had a chilly weekend, it was later in the day (good soup needs a day!) and we were so wanting soup. Well, I pulled out my Watkins Baked Potato Soup Mix. Hmmm – this could be good! I had leftover browned potatoes and carrots from a roast, I added them, used fat free milk and it was a definite OMG moment! Quick, economical and good for you! Not to mention I got to use up veggies.

Stock up on it today, while you’re at it – get the Onion Soup too. You’ll think you’re in a French Bistro!

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

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!

Christmas in July

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!
