Cooking with Essential Oils

I've been teaching Essential Oils classes lately.  With each class, I prepare a dish to share that uses the oils.  Here are some of the recipes I've made lately that are delicious.  I love the oils!  Beneficial and yummy!

4. Fill up a glass with ice.  Add about 2 tablespoons of raspberry puree, the juice of half a lime, 1 drop of Lime Essential Oil and top with sparkling water.  (Feel free to adjust taste to your liking.  The recipe called for the juice of 1 lime, but that seemed too strong/tart for me.)

5. Garnish with limes and raspberries as you like and ENJOY!  

Make sure you share with your friends.  The puree is enough for 10-20 Raspberry Limeaides.  Doterra's blog recipe.

Dill Veggie Dip

Ingredients:
1 cup sour cream
1 cup olive oil mayonnaise
2 tbsp minced onions (I used dried)
1 tsp seasoned salt (I used some sea salt and a dash of a mixed seasoning the first time I made it)
2 tbsp parsley flakes
1-2 drops of Dill Essential Oil

Directions:
1. Combine all ingredients except for the Dill Essential Oil in a glass container.

2. I like to chill mine overnight to make sure everything combines nicely.

3. Add the Dill Essential Oil immediately before serving.  I put mine in a cute bread bowl and chopped up some veggies to serve with it.  Yum!

Dill Essential Oil supports healthy digestion, supports healthy blood sugar response, is good for detoxification and respiratory support, and calms nervousness.  Plus, it's delicious!

1. Spoon out about a cup of Plain Greek Yogurt into a glass container.

2. Mix in about a teaspoon of honey.

3. When ready to serve, add 1-2 drops of Wild Orange Essential Oil.  Mix together, serve with fresh fruit and eat up.  This one is delicious!

Wild Orange Essential Oil can be used to promote overall health, uplift mood and energy levels and to boost energy.
