Watkins Featured Recipe: Alfredo Pasta
If you don’t like Fettuccine Alfredo, you more than likely don’t like Italian food. I’m married to an Italian who is a wonderful cook but rarely cooks Italian fare. Thus, when I’m traveling on the road I try to eat Italian food every chance I get.
Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my favorite Italian meals. Hmmm, the sheer thought of any noodle with alfredo sauce on it makes my mouth water. If you’re a Watkin’s associate, I can’t think of a better meal to prepare at your next Good Tastings party event than this beautiful little dish that you can whip up in no time. You’ll have every Mom in the house reaching out for an order pad. Likewise, if you’re a Watkins products consumer wanting to prepare a meal that uses three popular Watkins products you likely have in your kitchen (i.e., Watkins Black Pepper, Watkins Grapeseed Oil and Watkins Garlic Liquid Spice), I promise you this is a recipe made in heaven just for you. If you don’t have these three great Watkins products, click on their names in the ingredient list below and order them online now.

- 1/2 cup/125 mL red pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup/125 mL yellow pepper, chopped

- 1/4 tsp/2.5 mL Watkins Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp/7.5 mL Watkins Original Grapeseed Oil
Directions
Sauté the two chicken breasts in Watkins brand grapeseed oil for 6 to 8 minutes over medium heat. Next add the yellow and red peppers, green onions and mushrooms. Continue cooking until you confirm the vegetables are tender. Next add the Kalamata olives. During this time be sure you are also cooking your favorite pasta according to the directions on the pasta package. We recommend you choose Fettuccine noodles the first time you’re trying this recipe.
When finished cooking the chicken and vegetables combination, remove them from the skillet and slice up the chicken. In the juices left in the skillet, brown the flour; stir in the Watkins garlic liquid spice and the evaporated milk. Cook, stirring occasionally until everything thickens. Next stir in the Parmesan cheese. Coat the cooked noodles good with the sauce and stir in the vegetables and slices of chicken. Lastly, sprinkle with Watkins brand black pepper.

Summit Group’s Watkins Associate Enjoys Success Quickly
Over the years I’ve met many network marketers who signed up with one company or another and didn’t know what to do next. The business they had long dreamed of founding fizzled and died because they lacked a roadmap or blueprint. Members of the Watkins’ Summit Group of associates cannot site “lack of training” or “lack of a roadmap” as a reason for failure. That’s because Summit Group founders Steve and Ginny Bretzke and Ginny’s brother Jerry Fochtmann have done a marvelous job building an online resource and training center for their Summit Group downline members, of which yours truly is a member. You gain access to the private member area of the Summit Group’s associate training center if your fortunate to join Watkins through this URL link. This link is to the Summit Group’s Watkins products information and new associate signup site. The Summit Group maintains a different domain name and URL address for the private member training and resource center that you gain access to once you become a Summit Group member of Watkins.
Once you join Watkins it is very important to strike while the iron is hot. Don’t lose the momentum that drove you to become a Watkins Associate by procrastinating another minute. After all, if you purchased a McDonald’s franchise would you wait several weeks before you visited your store? I don’t think so. Once you join Watkins you should spend your first few days reading the abundant amount of training materials and listening to the audio files in the Summit Group private membership site. Once you feel you’ve learned enough about starting and managing your new Watkins business I want you to promise yourself that you will devote 30 minutes of time exclusively to Watkins every day, even if you spent the entire 30 minutes reading a motivational book, a primer on direct selling or taking 30 minutes of “quite time” to comtemplate what your next move will be. If you can give your new home-based Watkins business 1 hour a day you’re destined for success.
Thirty minutes a day isn’t much, so consider spending more if you can find the time. If you can give your personal Watkins business 2 hours a day of your time you’ll soon become a Watkins manager, and will one day enjoy a 6-figure income. Some of Watkins greatest success stories have achieved their dream of becoming finanically independent within 3 to 4 years. You can too.
Let’s take the example of Summit Group Watkins associate member Cindy Gillespie-Robert. Cincy is a classic example of how quickly success can come to Watkins associate that is willing to devote a little time each day to their Watkins business. Cindy and her husband Ryan are Bronze Manager’s of Watkins. I became interested in learning more about Cindy and Ryan while perusing my private Summit Group membership site. I visit it almost daily because its a fantastic online training and resource site designed to train all members of the Summit Group of Watkins associates how to start, manage and grow their business.
Each month the Summit Group posts results of prior month leaders within the Summit Group. In the month of March I noticed that Cindy Gillespie-Robert of Louisiana ranked 13th in the Summit Group’s top 50 list of associates with the most downline points. I wasn’t looking for Cindy, because frankly I didn’t know her or had ever heard her name before. Instead, being a native of Louisiana, I was just curious and wanted to find out who in the Summit Group was the most successful Watkins associate in the state of Louisiana. Keep in mind that the Summit Group has 8,500 members and being in the Top 50 list means you’re one of the leading Watkins associates in the country. Cindy’s name popped up as number 13 on the list. The Summit Group offers its members many resources and a bevy of statistics. In their sales statistics area I also learned that Cindy’s downline ranked 9th in the Summit Group, having sponsored 21 new members in March and that she personally had sponsored 6 new members.
Still stuck on the curiosity related to a successful Watkins associate from Louisiana, I decided to surf the net and see if I could learn more about Cindy. My findings astounded me. I had assumed that someone this successful had likely been with Watkins for 15 years or more and were likely up in their years. Such was not the case and her story should serve as an example to all that if you devote a little time each day to your Watkins business it doesn’t take long to become highly successful and begin making lots of money.
What I learned is that Cindy did not join Watkins until April 2008. That means she’s only been a Watkins associate for 4 years. During that 4 years she’s not only become a Bronze Manager of Watkins (earning that honor in October 2006), but won trips to the Bahamas in 2006, San Diego in 2007 and Puerto Vallarta in 2008. In 2007 she was invited by Watkins to speak at its annual business conference for associates and won several distinguished awards, including No. 2 Personal Sponsor Overall, No. 2 Total Downline Sponsor in the Manager Category and the No. 3 Manager award — in the entire company! I can’t wait until I meet Cindy and Ryan and have the opportunity to “talk Watkins” with them.
Now for those moms reading this article that you don’t have the true grit it takes to become this successful in any home-based business you try because you’re too busy with responsibilities at work, at home and with your children I want to share one more tidbit of info with you about Cindy. Cindy is a registered nurse, a busy mom, active in the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, softball, soccer and much more and still finds time to run a highly successful Watkins business that has won her trips, awards and a healthy income stream in just a few short years. So what are you waiting for, give Watkins a try. You can become a Watkins associate for as little as $39.95. The most important step you can take if you join up with Watkins is to join as a member of the Summit Group. You can visit the Summit Group website and signup with Watkins now now by clicking here.
