I've made gummies and tea in the past and have posted about it. This time it's brownies and an avocado salad. I love the flavor essential oils give to cooking and I actually find myself enjoying cooking. (I've never been a fan of cooking. Sometimes I day dream about having a personal chef :D)
Yesterday I took a gluten-free brownie mix and added 1 drop of both peppermint and spearmint oil. Having both of those oils in really rounded out the mint flavor. I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I did that but I've found I actually prefer the combo rather than just one sharp mint flavor. I'm glad I tried it and that it was a success.
Earlier today I saw a recipe with dark greens, avocado, almonds, and dried cranberries with a homemade dressing to put on it. (Here's the recipe from Paleo Leap:
Cranberry Avocado Salad) It looks delicious. I don't have all the ingredients so I was going to make it with what I have and then monkey with an essential oils dressing... Maybe Citrus Fresh, olive oil, and such? I don't know what I'll eventually end up with, but just thinking about is making me hungry!
Hopefully it all turns out well and I can post a yummy, successful recipe for you all to try as well!
Here's what I did.
