Cooking with Essential Oils: Escalopes à la Crème

When I was in my 20s, I spent some time in Switzerland and was introduced to this wonderful dish.  It's one of my kids favorites.  I love it because it's yummy and so easy to make.

Escalopes à la Crème:
4 chicken tenders, cooked and diced
1 quart heavy cream
4 Tbsp Inglehoffer Stone Ground Mustard
Salt and Pepper
1 carton Fresh mushrooms -sliced
Lemon Essential Oil or Real Lemon
Cooked Rice (3 cups uncooked rice + water)

Grill chicken in a little bit of butter on the stove top.  Remove from pan and dice.  In same pan, add heavy cream and mushrooms.  Cook for a few minutes over medium high heat until mushrooms start to soften, just a little.  Add mustard, salt and pepper.  Add back in diced chicken.  Add 2-3 drops Lemon essential oil or 1 tsp Real Lemon.  Stir.  Serve over rice.  This recipe feeds our family of 5 with leftovers.  Enjoy!

Guacamole with Essential Oils

I love eating chips and guacamole.  Some people love chocolate or soda or candy, not me, I love my chips and guacamole.  A friend shared this yummy recipe with me that uses Lime and Cilantro essential oils.  Give it a try and let me know what you think.


Guacamole Recipe:
2 avocados (ripe)
1 Tbsp sour cream
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro or 1 drop Cilantro essential oil (1 drop creates a very strong cilantro flavor.  You may want to start with just dipping a toothpick in the cilantro essential oil and stirring that in.)
1/3 cup salsa
2 drops Lime essential oil

Peel avocados and mash in mixing bowl.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
