Welcome Message.

Welcome to new readers and faithful readers! I’m fresh from a wonderful and relaxing holiday. We took a road trip and enjoyed the diverse, ever changing and spectacular scenery. Each state we traveled offered different and wonderful vistas some similar to what we have here at home but I really did miss our high mountains and evergreens. It was great to get away from it all, though, and just relax.

It’s not too early to remember your loved ones for Mother’s Day. Be sure to check out the April Highlights for gifts to pamper Mom and products to make her life easier.

Enjoy! And have a happy Easter!

April Recipe

We think April is the perfect time of year for a Pizza Party. The temperature’s still cool enough that you don’t mind having the oven on, but it’s warm enough that you start craving flavors that are a little less inhibited.

Garlic & Basil Pizza Sauce
Ingredients
1/2 cup/125 mL Watkins Cream Soup Base
1/4 cup/60 mL flour
1 cup/250 mL milk
1-1/2 cups/375 mL water
1 tbsp/15 mL Watkins Garlic Liquid Spice
3/4 cup/180 mL grated Parmesan cheese

Cooking Directions
Prepare Thin White Cream Sauce as directed on Soup Base label. When mixture begins to boil, stir in Liquid Spice and cheese. Divide sauce in half; add seasoning as follows to each half:

Version 1 (suggested for pizza): 1 tsp/5 mL Watkins Basil

Version 2 (suggested for dipping breadsticks): 1 tbsp/15 mL Watkins Tomato & Basil Snack & Dip Seasoning

NOTE: If making a full batch of either sauce, double the seasoning.
