Lobster Roll
I made this lobster roll yesterday on a whim and I must say, it came out so good! My experience with lobster rolls is limited - I've eaten them a few times and wasn't overly impressed and I certainly had never made one before! I don't know what came over me, but I suddenly had …

Curry Pumpkin Dip
Y'all. Do you want a show-stopper for your holiday gatherings? THIS IS IT. I've already made it twice this fall and it was a big hit both times - the second time was at an essential oils cooking class because everyone loved it so much the first time I made it! And I'm planning on …
I’ve made it into The Guinness Book of World Records!
I arrived at my first Young Living International Grand Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah a few weeks ago, for their 25th anniversary. It was very special for me as I got to celebrate this milestone of Young Living, the World Leader of Essential Oils. Little did I know that on July 19, 2019, these …
