EDITOR’S COMMENTS
Welcome to 2005!
You'll be pleased to hear that Watkins has introduced some new products - a stronger, hotter, more
intense flavored cinnamon, three choices of Arabica bean coffee (100% of the profits go to support
positive your programs), and an all-natural pain relief spray. More details are included later in this issue
or view these products online.
Watkins has reduced the price of it's world famous vanilla! Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans are the
highest quality vanilla beans and supplies have become more plentiful because of improved weather
conditions. Replenish your supply now so you never run out.
I have to admit that I eat my share of "junk" food. But I also eat healthy, nutritious foods. I've
included a list of foods that will improve your health if eaten daily. Each issue I will include one or
more recipes that include these foods. Many of them are delicious eaten as a nutritious snack or as
part of a meal.
I don't usually make New Year's resolutions. But there is a value in these resolutions because they make
us think about ways to improve ourselves or our lives. This year I am making a New Year's resolution.
It's not a life-changing resolution but one that I have been working toward for many years. I plan to
make a family recipe book of all my favorite recipes. I've collected recipes for many, many
years. They are scattered throughout several cookbooks, written on scraps of paper, on newspaper
and magazine clippings, and in my head. These are recipes that I use everyday and for family
gatherings and holidays. I plan to put them all in one very useful cookbook.
If you have a New Year's resolution that you'd like to share, email me and I will include it in the
next issue. My New Year's Resolution
Another Watkins product will be given away in January. Read below to find out if you won December's
prize, a bottle of Watkins Vanilla.
If you've considered becoming a Watkins Associate to get a discount on the products you use or to
build a Watkins business, 2005 is a great time to join. Besides getting a 25% discount on the
products you buy for yourself and a 25% to 39% commission on the products you sell, Watkins also
rewards its associates with a Performance Rewards Program that includes free merchandise and
vacation trips. Take a look at the free, no-obligation details about the Watkins Home Business at:

Hope you enjoy this issue. Happy New Year!
Make your house a Watkins home.

COOKING TIP
You should never run out of Watkins Baking Powder!
However, here is a substitution in an
emergency.
1 teaspoon baking powder equals 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar plus 1/4 teaspoon baking soda.

HEALTH TIP
Make 2005 your healthiest year yet! That saying, "You are what you eat!" is true. Eating a well-balanced
diet will help keep your body healthy. We all give in to those cravings from time to time, eating foods
that we know have little nutritional value or are filled with too much fat. Just remember to eat foods
that provide the nutritional power your body needs to keep you on the road to wellness. Eat some of
the following supermarket staples everyday so you thrive in 2005!
In each issue of Around the Kitchen Table I will include one or more recipes that contain these nutritional,
healthful foods.
If you are not getting enough vitamins and minerals from the food you eat, Watkins has a complete
line of nutritional supplements.
#02260 Superfood Multiple ($25.99 30-day supply) keeps you feeling and performing at your
very best. Contains all important vitamins and mineras as well as antioxidants, enzymes, bioflavonoids,
greens, and whole food concentrates and enhances the effects of all other Watkins dietary
supplements.
#02271 Children's Chewable ($7.99 30-day supply; 60-day for children under 4 years) for optimal
physical and mental development. No artificial flavors or sweeteners.
#02268 Fruit/Veggie Complex ($15.99 30-day supply) contains 41 varieties of fruits and vegetable ,
all-natural mixed carotenes, vitamin C equal to four glasses of juice. No sugar or sodium.
Visit our online catalog to see our complete line of nutritional supplements.
