Watkins Chicken Soup and Gravy Base

There are so many great recipes out there which call for chicken stock.  But, with our busy schedules, few have the time to make it from scratch.  So we usually opt for the canned chicken stock or those little chicken bullion cubes.  The canned can be expensive and both the canned and cubes can have a ton of sodium...upwards of 1300 mg/serving in some cases!

There is a great alternative out there.  Watkins Chicken Soup and Gravy Base.  This base can be used for soups, sauces, gravies, dips, and much more.

It is very economical.  One jar makes 57 cups of stock...the equivalent of 14 boxes of Swansons.  And it is 1/3 the cost of Swansons.

It is so convenient.  Just mix 1 1/2 tsp to one cup of boiling water for a cup of broth.  And it stores right on the shelf ready for you to use any time.

The taste is fabulous!  I have used this in several dishes that call for chicken stock and have liked it's taste much more than bullion (too salty) or canned/carton stock (too bland).

And Watkins Chicken Soup and Gravy Base has 1/3 of the sodium of many brands.

Help for my aching foot!

Last year I broke my ankle...skydiving.  And to this day, it still gives me trouble.  I'm on my feet a lot during my work day and, by night time, my foot can really hurt.  But I'm glad to say that I have found something that helps.

Watkins White Cream Liniment is a creamy lotion that rubs into the skin.  Made with natural ingredients, it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, yet penetrates to reduce the soreness. 

It is great for reducing muscular discomfort due to overexertion, backache, stiffness, arthritis, and bruises.  Here are just a few testimonials about White Cream Liniment:  "The best product I find that Watkins has is the White Cream Liniment.  When I use this product on my knees and joints, my aches and pains are no longer there."  "When I feel everyday emotional pressures (stressed out), White Cream Liniment comes to my aid.  I put it on where I am sore before sleeping and I am not sore or stiff in the morning." 

Watkins White Cream Liniment has been a best seller since 1915.  Many people wouldn't do without it!

Vanilla

I love the smell of vanilla.  I love the taste of vanilla!  Vanilla goes into so many yummy things that we make in the kitchen that it makes sense to use the best vanilla out there.  And I think Watkins Vanilla is just the ticket!

What makes Watkins Vanilla so great?  First of all, it's tried and tested.  They've been making vanilla since 1895!  It quickly became a staple of farmhouse kitchens and, in 1928, won the Grand Prix with Gold Medal at the Paris International Exposition.

Watkins uses the very best vanilla beans.  The world's best vanilla beans are called Bourbon, or Madagascar-Bourbon.  They have moisture levels between 20 and 25% and are the world's most expensive vanilla beans.  Watkins uses whole beans...no "splits".

Watkins Original Double Strength Vanilla Extract us a very low alcohol level of 8.25% which helps to make it heat resistant. Watkins also fortifies the extract to make the flavor resistant to degredation by heat or freezing (both possible with vanilla extracts) and to make the product double-strength.  Then the vanilla is carefully aged. 

The result is a vanilla extract which has phenomenal flavor and is economical to use.

An Honest, Home Based Business Opportunity for You !

Many people out there would love to find an opportunity to work from home to make a little extra income for their families.  Stay-at-home Moms...people between jobs...retirees.  But there are so many scams out there that it can seem like realistic opportunities to work at home simply don't exist.  But there is one that I know of that I would love to share with you today and that is becoming an Independent Associate for The Watkins Company.

Watkins has been around since 1868, developing and marketing high quality natural gourmet, personal care, home care, and remedy/supplement products.  They were the first company of their kind to offer a 100% money-back guarantee.  Thousands of people are loyal fans of their award-winning vanilla, cinnamon, Pain Liniment, and plant-based cleaning products.  You can see all that they offer by going to www.watkinsonline.com/degley

The main way Watkins markets their products is through everyday people who sign up as Associates.  How does this work?  An Associate signs up under sponsor (I would love to be your sponsor), complete a short enrollment form, pays a $39.95 (+ tax) yearlong sign-up fee and that's it!  (see the incredible special offer for April that I talk about later in this blog)

What are the benefits of being an Associate?

1)       Associates receive 25% off of the retail price for products they purchase from Watkins.  Many people sign up as Associates just to receive this discount for products they purchase for themselves and never sell to anyone else.  If that’s all that you wanted to do with your Associate status, it would be great with me!  And there are no “minimum order requirements” to meet each month.  Some months an Associate might order some products; another month order nothing.

2)       Associates are also able to buy products for other people at that same 25% discount off of the retail price.  Many Associates take orders from friends, family, etc., sell the products to them at the retail price, and keep the remaining 25% as extra income.  Some Associates also do parties, set up booths, sell on the internet, etc.  If you decided you would like to sell to others to earn some extra income, I would be happy  to help you.  But  there are no minimum sales “quotas” or requirements that Associates have to meet.

3)      Associates can choose to sponsor others as Associates and build a team under them.  Some people in Watkins have built significant teams which are providing four and five-figure incomes a month for them.

      The wonderful thing about being an Independent Watkins Associate is that you have the freedom to build the  business to the level you want, spending whatever hours you want to spend .  And you can start with a small investment of $39.95 (+ tax).

So What is the incredible offer for April?  If you sign up as an Associate under my sponsorship in April and pay the $39.95 (+ tax) fee, you will receive a free $50 gift certificate for Watkins products!  So you are ahead from the very beginning!  So I invite you to visit www.tsginfo.com/de6996a for more details on how you can sign up as an Associate and begin your home based business.

Watkins Cinnamon

Cinnamon has been popular since ancient times. Egyptians imported it from China in 2000 BC. Romans believed Cinnamon was sacred, and Nero burned a year's supply of the spice at the funeral for his wife. Because Cinnamon was one of the first spices sought in the 15th Century European explorations, some say it indirectly led to the discovery of America.

The Cinnamon used in North America today is from the cassia tree, specifically Korintje cassia, which is grown in Vietnam, China, Indonesia, and Central America. 

Watkins introduced pure Cassia Cinnamon to its product line in 1895. In 1928 Watkins Pure Cassia Cinnamon was awarded the Grand Prize with Gold Medal for Highest Quality at the International Exposition, Paris.

Watkins purchases the best Korintje cassia cinnamon available on the market.  When the cinnamon is received, it is inspected for cleanliness and freedom from foreign matter before being ground. It is our strict attention to detail that makes our cinnamon the very best available.

·        Watkins Cinnamon contains a minimum of 2% essential oil for deep flavor; many others on the market contain 1 to 2%, and inferior brands have as low as 0.5%.

·        Watkins uses strict quality control: Each shipment is tested upon arrival for quality.

·        Watkins carefully grounds and sifts each batch to assure uniform particle size and quality.

Our award-winning cinnamon has been a part of family rituals for more than 100 years. Make it part of yours, and you'll see what all the fuss is about. With about twice as much flavor as other varieties,  it's the best quality cinnamon available anywhere.

Fun Fact:

If you stacked all the containers of Cinnamon Watkins has sold since 1895, it would be 15,766 times taller than the Eiffel Tower.

A new adventure!

A big box was left on my front porch today.  I pulled it inside and excitedly opened the top.  Wonderful smells began to fill the room.  It was my first shipment of Watkins Products!

The Watkins Company has been making high-quality, natural products for cooking, home, and personal care since 1868.  They are especially known for their Original Double Strength Vanilla and their wonderful cinnamon.  Their Red Pain Relieving Liniment, Petro-Carbo Salve, and Menthol Bath Soak are loved by many.  Watkins All Purpose Cleaners rid your home of dirt and grime without the harsh toxins found in other all purpose cleaners.  And their hand and body lotions, in a wide variety of scents, are 97-99% natural to protect and pamper even the most sensitive skin.

When I started investigating home-based businesses, I wanted to find one which was honest, would provide a good opportunity for me grow my own business,  and would provide a good value for my customers.  I found that in Watkins.

In coming posts, I will be talking more about the wonderful products that Watkins has to offer and the great home-based business opportunity available through the company.  More information is available by visiting my website at www.wishingfordaysgoneby.com
