Is there anything worse than running out of a spice in the middle of a recipe? 😫 No, UNLESS you have some trusty essential oils hanging around. 😉 A drop of cinnamon bark and clove vitality is all I needed to complete our favorite Chai Banana Bread recipe last week! No measuring needed. 🙌🏻

IMPORTANT: When cooking/baking with oils always make sure that they are pure and meant for ingesting.👍🏻

Columbus chose to be rainy, dreary, and depressing all week so chili it is. We went with Ambitious Kitchen’s Turkey Chili, which is one of our absolute favs. Swapped out the turkey with beef then topped it with 🥑, Greek yogurt, shredded cheese, and crushed Tostitos Salsa Verde chips. BIG fans. 🙌🏻

One year ago I got my first Young Living Kit completely unsure of how to use the different oils and the many benefits each provided. After 12 months of practice and experimenting I have officially fallen in love and begun to incorporate them into my cooking regimen! Our first creation was a reconstructed hibachi dinner. 😋Who doesn’t love leftovers!? Spiced it up with some chicken, shrimp, coconut aminos, and of course my digestion supporting ginger! Essential oils are concentrated versions of the original source so one little drop packs in the flavor and benefits, no chopping necessary. 🙌🏻We were clearly proud as you can see Chase now sees himself as a true hibachi chef. 🔪 Click on the link below or message me to order your first kit! Great gift for Christmas. 😉🎁

Tips for cooking with oils:

1. Always dilute with a carrier oil such as coconut or olive oil before adding to recipes for your safety and to disperse the flavor!
2. A little goes a long way! A drop or two per recipe is plennnnty.
3. Wait until the end to stir in with stovetop recipes as the oils can dissipate quickly in high heat.
4. Not all essential oils are safe to ingest so make sure to double check before adding to your recipes!

Spread coconut oil on one side of wheat bread. Flip it over and spread a heaping spoonful of pesto on the other side and top with slices of smoked cheddar. Place coconut oil side down in a stove pan over medium heat. Cover with lid until bread is toasted to your preference and cheese is melted. Top with two eggs and prepare to be amazed. 😱
