Stock Your Kitchen with Young Living

The kitchen is one of my favorite places to use my essential oils.  Depending on if you are baking or cooking there are different oils that can enhance your foods.

Savory Oils:  Basil      Oregano          Rosemary        Thyme                         Sage                Dill                                           Coriander                    Marjoram                   Black Pepper

Baking Oils:    Cinnamon Bark           Clove               Ginger             Nutmeg           Peppermint

Citrus Oils:      Grapefruit                   Lemon             Orange            Tangerine        Lime              Citrus Fresh

Other Oils:       Lavender             Spearmint                   Slique Essence             Lemongrass

Here are a few tips when using essential oils:
  • Zest from a citrus fruit  can be replaced with 10 – 15 drops of EO
  • 1 Tablespoon of a savory spice is equal to ½ to 1 drop of EO
  • Less than 1 teaspoon dip a toothpick in the oil and swirl it in the recipe.
Remember to add the oils at the end stage of the cooking to save the true essence of the oil.
The only thing that can limit you is your own imagination.  Just remember that essential oils are more potent than fresh herbs.
