Cooking with Oils
Adding essential oils to your food and drinks is a great way to incorporate then into your daily routine and one of my favorite ways to use them. Just remember that a little goes a long way and in some cases all you need is a toothpick amount.
Try adding a drop of oil to your favorite beverage!
Kitchen Inspiration
Simple ways to use essential oils in your food
Try spicing up healthy treats with cinnamon essential oil for this fun sandwich. Soak cut apples in 1 cup of water and 3 drops of on guard for a few minutes for an immune boosting snack. Soak them in Lemon during meal prep to keep cut apples from browning!
Adding peppermint to your favorite brownie recipes, whether a healthy black bean version, or your favorite gooey fudgy box mix, takes them to another level. Try Wild Orange in your sugar cookies, lavender in your cheesecakes or cinnamon in your whipped cream.
You will recognize many of the essential oils in your spice cabinet. These oils make a great addition to your favorite marinades. Ginger in Asian inspired dishes, oregano in Mediterranean inspired, citrus and black pepper in your everyday chicken or beef marinades. You can even add them to your favorite spice mixes and rubs for an extra pop of flavor.
Breakfast Ideas
The options are endless with pancakes and always a crowd favorite. Try adding 4 drops of Lemon essential oil in blueberry pancakes or pancakes topped with your favorite berries. Cinnamon is my families favorite. Use it in box mix, your favorite from scratch recipe or get creative with some rosemary pumpkin pancakes for a savory twist.
Quiche is one of my children's favorite dishes. We keep it simple with just 2 drops of black pepper essential oil, spinach and swiss cheese, but a drop or 2 of your favorite herb oil like basil, rosemary or thyme are great additions for a veggie filled hearty quiche.
I can't even explain how versatile essential oils are in the kitchen. We love to boost basic box mix muffins with a few drops of essential oils. Wild Orange in blueberry and cranberry muffins, Cinnamon or On Guard in apple and banana muffins. Try lavender blueberry for a new twist to surprise your guests for a shower or holiday brunch.
Healthy Lunch
Fuel your body with powerful greens with this tasty chicken sandwich recipe!
Take your salads from boring to incredible with your favorite essential oils. I love cilantro but a few drops of Wild Orange in a simple balsamic and olive oil blend is simple and perfect.
I love eating a light lunch and hummus is a staple in our home. The combinations are endless, and you can even use store bought hummus.
Dinner Time Winners
Don't settle for bland chicken. This tasty meal comes together quickly for a healthy dinner option the whole family will love. Lemon oil on this dish brings a brightness out that only essential oils can.
I'll be honest, I don't like fish. I have been better over the last few years of eating it at least once a week, but this recipe right here on Orange roughy got me to this point. It is fantastic!
This light pasta dish is hearty and flavorful. Serve with some crusty bread and enhanced dipping oil and a salad for a guilty free meal. Perfect this dish with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper.
Show Stopping Side Dishes
For me, potatoes are the perfect compliment any dish. The rosemary potatoes are so easy and the icing on the cake for your holiday meals.
