As I mentioned in a previous post you can enter your favorite recipe in our recipe draw to win a Kitchen aid mixer and free Watkins products. So I just wanted to remind you that the deadline for the draw is April 30, 2007.

Remember if you don’t enter you can’t win, good luck!

Do you have an easy to prepare recipe that your family loves? Does everyone rave about your cooking or baking? Some of our very best recipes come from you, our customers! We know you are the expert of Good Tasting, that’s why we’re looking for your favorite recipes. Ones that are simple to prepare, contain ten or less ingredients, and call for at least two Watkins products.

What can you win? If you are one of the three Recipe Draw winners you will receive either:

• 1st place: a KitchenAid Mixer and your choice of $200.00 US/$250 CDN in Watkins products. WOW!
• 2nd place:$150.00 US/$190 CDN in Watkins products of your choice.
• 3rd place: $100.00 US/$125 CDN in Watkins products of your choice.

In addition to these prize winners, your favorite recipes may be prepared and served during the World’s Largest Good Tastings® event at the Watkins Great Escape Conference in June of 2007! I’ll be there and I can’t wait to taste your recipe! Your recipes may even be used in future Watkins publications and at Watkins events. You’ll be famous and everyone you know will be proud of you!

To qualify for the free drawing, your recipes must:

• Contain 10 or fewer ingredients
• Utilize at least two current Watkins products
• Include complete recipe information with ingredients and accurate measurements
• Be free of any copyright restrictions**

**Recipes do not have to be original, but they must be free of copyright restrictions (they can’t be from a published book, magazine, or copyrighted product label). When submitting the recipe, the person submitting the recipe is asserting that he r she is the reasonable “owner” of that recipe.

Recipes must be received by Watkins by April 30, 2007. The drawing is open to residents of the United States and Canada, except employees of Watkins Incorporated, their families, and Watkins Independent Associates. Limit one recipe per address. No purchase necessary.

What are you waiting for? Head on over to WatkinsOnline and click on the apron (like the one pictured above) to take you to the recipe entry form. Good luck!

Updated News – Recipe Pick of the Week

There’s even more to win! Each week Watkins will post our recipe pick of the week. This will be a randomly drawn recipe featured on WatkinsOnline on the “What is Good Tastins® by Watkins?” page. At the end of our recipe draw these weekly picks will go into an additional draw for something special—a Watkins Classic Vanilla Cookbook and a bottle of Watkins Double-Strength Vanilla!

We have beautiful brand new catalogs for the new year, there have been a few product changes but you’ll still find all your old favorites.
