Special $7.99 Regularly $8.99 Every family should have a tin of Watkins Petro Carbo Salve in their medicine chest, first-aid kit, purse, gym bag, and brief case. It relieves the pain and itching caused by minor cuts, burns and skin irritations, scrapes, hemorrhoids, and insect bites. It's drawing properties will help remove splinters and stickers. Just put a dab on the splinter, cover with a band-aid, and the salve will draw the splinter out. This salve comes in a large tin for your medicine chest and a travel size for your pocket or purse. My husband had cracks between his fingers and we spent a lot of money trying to get them healed. We rubbed Petro Carbo Salve on the cracks and within one month his hands were completely healed and have not been a problem since. LouAnne, Minnesota

One day after a nasty streak of bad weather, I asked my teenage son to take our dog out for a long walk after school. When I came home from work, I found my son stretched out on the recliner. He had leash in hand, while the dog trotted happily away on the treadmill!

Opt for nonstick pans. That way, you can reduce the amount of oil needed for cooking. Use Watkins butter-flavored non-stick Cooking Spray or make your own oil spritz bottle to reduce the amount of oil and butter you use. If a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of fat, you can usually cut out 1 or 2 teaspoons. (One tablespoon equals 3 teaspoons.) Use a rubber scraper designed for use at high temperatures to mix, stir, and slide foods from nonstick pans instead of a spoon or pancake turner. They don't scratch your pan and the food slides cleanly out of your pan or skillet onto serving plate.
February is National Heart Health Month The most basic test to assess cardiac risk is a "lipoprotein" profile, which measures your cholesterol and triglyceride (a type of fat that circulates in your blood) levels. This is an inexpensive and simple blood test, and it's recommended at least every five years for all adults starting at 20 years old. (Individuals who are at risk for heart disease, such as those with a family history of heart disease or those who are already on lipid-lowering medications, should be tested more often.) A lipoprotein profile shows:
Government and health organizations recommend the following cholesterol and triglyceride levels for the general public:
Cholesterol and triglyceride levels that fall outside of this range are considered risk factors for heart disease. For individuals who have a higher risk for heart disease, such as those who have sustained a heart attack, the recommended ranges are set lower. Modifying your lifestyle by reducing the amount of saturated and trans fat you eat and engaging in regular exercise can lower your risk for heart disease. If you smoke, quitting will help raise your HDL. Heredity can be a factor in your test results (and your risk for heart disease), particularly when it comes to LDL and triglyceride levels.
Pasta with Lemon-Peppered Chicken
1 pound/454 g skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch/1 cm strips Toss the chicken with Watkins cracked pepper and Watkins Garlic Liquid Spice. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for at least one hour or as long as overnight. When ready to serve, bring water to boil to cook pasta. Heat grapeseed oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and lightly brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Add the water, soup base and lemon juice. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 8 minutes. Cook pasta, drain, and toss with chicken and half of spinach leaves. Garnish with lemon wedges, fresh parsley, and remaining spinach leaves. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve hot. Makes 6 servings.
Honey Cornbread Chicken
1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) frying chicken, cut into 8 pieces, skinned Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 13x9-inch baking dish with no-stick cooking spray. Place chicken in baking dish. Sprinkle with poultry seasoning. Combine honey and butter in small bowl; spoon 3 tablespoons over chicken. Sprinkle and press cornbread stuffing over chicken. Sprinkle with seasoning salt; drizzle with remaining honey mixture. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Makes 6 servings.
Mini Hot Chocolate Cakes
5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet baking chocolate, chopped
These cakes are meant to have a hot, flowing chocolate center that oozes out when you cut into them. Oven temperature and baking time are critical to the success of the recipe. Be sure to check at the minimum bake time. If the cakes are too soft or do not hold their shape, bake a minute or two longer. If the centers are too cakelike in texture, bake a few minutes less next time.
Easy Coconut Custard Pie
2 cups milk Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Place milk in 5-cup blender container; add all remaining ingredients except nutmeg. Cover; blend at medium speed until well mixed. Pour egg mixture into greased and floured 9-inch pie plate or pan; sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Serve warm or chilled. Store refrigerated. Makes 8 servings. Bread Pudding with Butter Pecan Sauce
Pudding
Sauce Combine all pudding ingredients except bread. Add bread and allow to soak up liquid, about 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Lightly grease a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish and pour bread mixture into pan. Bake about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Serve with sauce. To make sauce, place sugar and water in small saucepan over high heat and cook, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Then reduce heat to medium and cook without stirring until sauce has turned caramel color (about 15 minutes). Remove syrup from heat. Let cool slightly, then slowly add cream, butter and extract, being sure hot syrup doesn't spatter. Stir until smooth; serve on bread pudding. Serves 8.
