This recipe is sooooo good! It is just full of flavors! The herb and zest certainly help, but the essential oils really punch up the taste. Yes, you can ingest essential oils if they have been cleared for that purpose. I use the Vitality Line from Young Living.

The Stress of Daily Tasks
What’s your to-do list like? If you’re similar to me, it’s overflowing non-stop. I thought life was supposed to ease up as everyone got older, but I find that this is a myth. I used to be the person who had to accomplish EVERYTHING in ONE DAY on that list. And that meant no matter… Continue reading The Stress of Daily Tasks
