I add two drops of Peppermint essential oil along with a spoonful of hot chocolate mix to my morning coffee. Just like drinking a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie. Yummy!
I added lemon oil to the mayo for my first time making and serving to mother in law lobster rolls. She said the taste was refreshing and one of the best she ever had.
I add a few drops of oregano to my socca (chick pea flour) flatbread to make a pizza base.
I substitute nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger for the actual spices in my pumpkin pie. Everyone said it was the best pumpkin pie they have ever tasted :)
Dawn,
I to would like to get your recipe for pumpkin pie using EO
Dawn, how many drops of each do you use for your pumpkin pie. I want to try, but concerned about putting in too much. Thanks
With Thanksgiving coming up, I'd like to know how many drops of each of these you added. I may have to try it.
Dawn, I too am looking to replace actual spices with essential oils in my fall baking. Any help with the amounts you used in your pumpkin pie would be very much appreciated!
Thank you!
I use 2 drops of Cinnamon Bark Vitality, 1 drop Clove Vitality, 1 drop Nutmeg vitality, 1 drop Ginger vitality. Tastes awesome! I do the same for my molasses cookies, minus the Nutmeg vitalaity, and I up the Ginger vitality to 2 drops for my ginger cookies.
I add 1 drop Oregano oil , Rosemary and or Basil to the water before cooking my spaghetti pasta. I experimented putting the oils directly into the sauce and it was overpowering. Putting it in the water is Perfection
I add a drop of lime to a bowl of guacamole. I also diffuse purification to get rid of the odor after hard-boiling eggs. That's sort of "cooking with" essential oils :)
I add a couple drops of lemon to chicken salad!
I add a drop of Basil Essential Oil and a drop of Oregano Essential Oil to my home made minestrone soup.
