Friday, January 26th, 2007

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
