Using Essential Oils In My Recipes:
In several recipes, I suggest using an essential oil instead of a dried herb. This is completely optional. I use them because of their incredible health benefits. If you use an essential oil in your meal, I suggest ONLY using the highest quality essential oils.
My favorite is Young Living brand. Also, remember when you add the oil, most of the time, just one drop is needed. Don’t be to add more. The flavor develops over a few minutes and is delightfully fresh and powerful. Finally, only add the oil after you’ve completed the heating process to not destroy the healthy benefits of using the oil in your food.
If you’d like to purchase these amazing oils, look here and I also HIGHLY suggest you google the benefits of adding essential oils to your day. You can learn more about essential oils here.
