Did you know that Essential Oils are up to 50-70 times stronger than herbs? This is just one of the reasons cooking with Essential Oils is fun, easy and popular!
If you want to spice up your dinner time meal, then adding Ginger, Oregano, Basil, Rosemary or Thyme are really great options for soups, stews, chicken and more.
But what about baking? Then try out Peppermint, Wild Orange or Lime! It can really add some mouth watering flavor and get you tons of compliments!
As this holiday season approaches, many of us are preparing for big celebrations and parties. Food, snacks, wine, beer, beverages... there is no other time of the year that people like to fill themselves up till their hearts content (or stomach is bursting).
If you want to maintain your waistline this holiday season or even lose weight while people around you are packing on the holiday pounds, then this is for you!
Below are 5 tips for keeping yourself healthy this holiday season.
It seems that we're invited to a party, dinner or get-together every other night in the weeks leading up to and during the holidays. Unfortunately, most of the dishes that are brought along are not exactly healthy. Eating out has always been a bit of a struggle for me as there are many foods that I don't do well with and feel yuck after. We all tend to overindulge during the holidays season, tempted by all the unhealthy treats around. But to be honest with you, I get tired of all the rich and fattening foods rather quickly and welcome a healthy, fresh alternative.
This is your year to shine with that healthy dish the next time you are asked to bring something to a holiday party. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

So, what can we do in order to keep those extra pounds off? Here's a few tips to get you through the holidays.
