Cooking With Essential Oils

cooking with essential oils

Cooking with Essential Oils has gotten even friendlier now with Young Livings Vitality Line (which you get some with the Premium Starter Kit sale I have going on). All of the oils in this line are labeled as safe for internal use. So there is no reason at all to not get started kicking up your meals with these little bottles of goodness. Remember, when cooking with oils, a little goes a long way! For some of these you won't even need a full drop. Dip a toothpick in the bottle and swirl it in the recipe. Talk about saving money!!!

A Bit About Me…


I mostly pretend to be a Denver based blogger these days but the reality is closer to a busy mom of two incredible young adults. I run freelance social media campaigns for large and small companies in my free time.

Here I write about crafts, recipes, travel, special needs, social media, tech, family life and anything else that strikes my fancy. I am a bit of squirrel and you never know what you may find here from day to day. Hint: it somehow always seems to tie in my love for essential oils.

Can I Help You Find Something?

Lately, I’ve been blabbing on about…

  • Best Pumpkin Bread Recipe
  • Gooey Carmelita Bars
  • Best Puppy Toys For Giant Breeds
  • Norwegian Pearl Cruise Ship Review
  • Norwegian Pearl Thermal Suite Review
