• Stained Grout - Spilled coffee on your tile countertop or tile floor or is the grout in your tile floor beginning to show stains? Tackle grout stains with this homemade stain remover. Add lemon juice to 1 or 2 teaspoons of Watkins Cream of Tartar in a small bowl to make a paste. This mixture acts as a natural bleaching agent. Apply with a toothbrush, then rinse. I've used this stain remover on the grout in our kitchen tile floor and it works!

• Stained Tub - Combine equal amounts of Watkins Cream of Tartar and baking soda with enough lemon juice to make a paste. Rub the mixture into the stain with your fingers or a soft cloth. Let sit for a half hour, then rinse well with water.

Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Coconut Pecan Frosting and Old-Fashioned Lemon Bread are two of my favorite Spring recipes. I hope you enjoy them.

The finely grated carrots add wonderful moistness and hidden nutrition to these cupcakes. I love the rich cream cheese frosting. The coconut, pecans, and raisins give the frosting texture. My family really liked these tender cupcakes. I will use this recipe again and again. These cupcakes would make a delicious Easter dessert. Use more coconut to make nests and omit the pecans and raisins. Tint the coconut with a little green food coloring. Decorate with tiny candy Easter eggs.

Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Coconut Pecan Frosting
4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup canola oil
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Watkins Cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon Watkins Allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups finely grated carrots

Cream Cheese Coconut Pecan Frosting
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla Extract (Baking Vanilla or Pure Vanilla)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chopped raisins(optional)

Beat the eggs, sugar and oil in a large bowl. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, allspice and salt. Gradually add to the egg mixture. Stir in the finely grated carrots. I prefer using finely grated carrots because they disappear into the batter as they bake.

Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full of batter.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 20-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Baking time varies depending on the amount of batter in each muffin cup and individual oven temperatures.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.

For the Frosting
Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy in a large bowl. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in the coconut, pecans and raisins. Frost the cooled cupcakes. Store in the refrigerator. Yield 2 dozen cupcakes. The frosting in the photo above shows flaked coconut and chopped pecans. I didn't use chopped raisins. Use the ingredients for your personal taste.

Old-Fashioned Lemon Bread
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2/3 cup (5 fl. oz. can) evaporated milk
1/3 cup Watkins Grapeseed Oil or canola oil
1 teaspoon Watkins Lemon Extract
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest (reserve lemon for later use)
Lemon Syrup (recipe follows)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 8 x 4-inch baking pan.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl.

Beat eggs, evaporated milk, oil, lemon extract, and lemon zest together in medium bowl.

Pour egg mixture into flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Pour into prepared pan.

Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until wooden skewer inserted in center comes out clean. Do not over bake.

Using the skewer, poke numerous holes in the hot bread, piercing all the way to the bottom. Slowly drizzle the hot Lemon Syrup over the bread (Syrup will soak into the bread). Cool on wire rack for 15 minutes; run knife around edge of bread. Remove bread to wire rack to cool completely.

Lemon Syrup
Combine 1/3 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice (1 lemon) in small, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and a light syrup is formed. Pour over Lemon Bread.

Ready to Grill?
Bacon Wrapped Chipotle Shrimp Kabobs
Marinade Ingredients:
1/4 cup light olive oil
juice of 1 lime, about 2 tablespoon's worth
1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
1 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon Watkins Paprika
1/4 teaspoon Watkins Cumin
1/8 teaspoon Watkins Cayenne Pepper

4 - 6 slices of bacon, each slice cut into 3 equal pieces
1 pound medium-large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on
Avocado Cream Sauce for serving

Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a small bowl and whisk together. Place the shrimp in an airtight container or a large ziploc bag. Pour the marinade over the shrimp and seal the bag or container. Turn over a few times to ensure that everything is well coated. Allow the shrimp to marinate for 30 minutes.

When almost ready to grill, soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes before wrapping each shrimp in a piece of bacon and threading the shrimp onto the skewers. Heat the grill to medium high and generously oil the grates to prevent the meat from sticking. Place the kabobs on the grill and let cook, turning once or twice, until the shrimp turns pink and the bacon is cooked through. Serve the shrimp kebabs with Avocado Cream Sauce (recipe follows).

Avocado Cream Sauce
2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
1 cup greek yogurt or sour cream
2 large cloves garlic, minced
juice from 2 limes, about 3-4 tablespoons worth
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, adjust to taste
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground Watkins Black Pepper from a Pepper Grinder

Place the avocado, yogurt, garlic, and lime juice in the blender. Process until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper, according to taste. Transfer to a serving dish and serve immediately or cover tightly, pressing plastic wrap against the surface of the sauce before covering with an airtight lid. Sauce will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours.

The Cedar Waxwings arrived last Friday (March 10, 2017) to eat the berries on the privet tree in our backyard. They were late this year possibly because we've had so much rain. I took several photos but none of them were clear enough to include.

It always amazes me that the waxwings find our yard each winter and stop for a meal! They usually arrive during December, January, or February.

This photo is from a past year.

The Juncos are back with a new nest in our boxwood bush this year! The Junco pair built a nest and laid four eggs. See photos at Junco Nest, Eggs, and Hatchlings

The Great Backyard Bird Count for 2014 is Friday February 14 through Monday February 17. The Great Backyard Bird Count is an annual four-day event that engages bird watchers of all ages in counting birds to create a real-time snapshot of where the birds live.

Everyone is welcome, from beginning bird watchers to experts. It takes as little as 15 minutes on one day, or you can count for as long as you like each day of the event. It’s free, fun, and easy and it helps the birds. People count the birds in their yards, neighborhoods, and parks.
