Recipe: Cranberry Sauce with Wild Orange

Recipe: Cranberry Sauce with Wild Orange

Alright, guys. I hit the jackpot on this one {I should really check to see how many times I've said that about a recipe...}. But seriously. Cranberry sauce made with Wild Orange is about to change your LIFE! I always make cranberry sauce for all our holiday meals. It's so easy to grab a bag of cranberries, add water and maple syrup. My kids could make this. I knew I was due for a really good recipe to post here, so I figured ThanksLiving would be the best time ('living' becau

Recipe: Chocolate Mint Zucchini Bread {gluten-free & vegan}

So we had this MASSIVE zucchini my son bought from the farmer's market (honestly, it looked to be the size of my leg) and I knew we needed to make something REALLY great out of it. Turns out, this recipe was JUST that. I found the original here, but chose to use some protein-packed flour, less sugar, and my PEPPERMINT OIL! YESSSSSS! It's SO DELICIOUS that I ended up making two loaves (and still had enough zucchini to make enough loaves for my town). Ingredients: - 2 tbsp mill

Recipe: Tofu Scramble

One thing about not eating eggs is….well….no scrambled eggs. We sometimes like to have a “big breakfast” {ahem…have like a 5-course meal for breakfast} and the one missing thing was scrambled eggs. But, as plant-based living continues to grow, some wizard somewhere invented the TOFU SCRAMBLE recipe! Oh, bless you, sweet wizard! As with most things, I make them once then turn them completely into something of my own. This recipe is no different. I’ve whipped this baby up many

And EASY PEASY! Here's what you need: 1 cup raw apple cider vinegar 1 sliced garlic clove 2 drops of dōTERRA Dill essential oil 1 drop of dōTERRA Cumin essential oil (optional if you're not a fan of Cumin) 1 pinch dried Thyme A couple of pinches of salt 1 wide-mouthed mason jar 6-8 min

Recipe: Cilantro Detox Salad

I know 10% of you out there just looked at the title and decided to SKIP OUT on this recipe. I see you Cilantro haters out there - my hubby is one of them! But it's all good because you can totally substitute Cilantro essential oil for Basil essential oil and it STILL tastes amazing! Now, you might ask - why would I use a drop of essential oil when I could just use Cilantro itself? Well, that's a great question and one I asked at the beginning of my oil journey. Essential oil

Recipe: 30-Second Breakfast

Here's the quickest breakfast or lunch you'll ever make and it's SO GOOD! Use any fruits you want, but below is what I went for today. Ingredients: 1/2 cup frozen blueberries 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 1/2 cup frozen mango 1 chopped banana 1 drop Wild Orange I opened my freezer, stuck a pre-packaged baggie of my frozen fruit in a bowl, then chopped a banana. Seriously - 30 seconds. Add one drop of Wild Orange and mix it all together. I then get dressed and come back down and
