Cooking with Essential Oils
I actually haven't ton a whole lot of cooking with essential oils yet. I've thrown a drop of orange in chocolate (you seriously HAVE to try it), made peppermint brownies and whipped up iced lavender lattes.
I often throw a drop of lemon in my morning smoothie.
In a pinch, I throw a drop of cilantro and lime into my homemade guacamole.
Ok, when I type it all out like that, I guess I do use them in my kitchen. But, up until tonight, never in baked meats and potatoes.
Well my sister Laura, from Our Oily House, stopped by and changed that! She had been talking about making lemon rosemary chicken for a while now, and I simply had to try it. I invited her over to make a video with me, and dinner too of course. Imagine that. Inviting your little sister over to make you dinner. Everyone needs a little sister or two.
Or in my case four. Thanks mom and dad.
I loved the chicken we made tonight. I really did. But, would you believe it..the star of the show was the lemon honey mustard dressing she made for the salad. Wowza that's going to be new staple in the old farmhouse!
Why cook with essential oils anyway?
You may be wondering why you would even want to bust out the essential oils when cooking in the kitchen. Well, the main reasons are convenience and flavor. Each drop of essential oil packs in a super concentrated version of everything that is in the herbs/fruits that they come from.
For example, it takes 45 lemons to make one 15 mL bottle of lemon essential oil. Want something to have a lemon flavor without having to zest five lemons? Use a couple drops of lemon essential oil! Want the flavor of fresh rosemary, but it's the dead of winter and the frost done snatched away everything from your beautiful herb garden? Just add a drop of rosemary essential oil.
Best essential oils for cooking
Peppermint- One drop will flavor a whole batch of coconut flour brownies, making them perfect for a holiday gathering. I also like to add it to peppermint mochas. Peppermint is an excellent aid for digestion and one drop is equivalent to 28 cups of peppermint tea.
*Don't consume peppermint essential oil if you are nursing.
Citrus oils- Lemon, orange and lime are all wonderful oils to use in the kitchen. I add a drop of lemon essential oil to my morning berry kefir smoothie. It's delicious, energizing and detoxifying. Lime (next to cilantro essential oil) is great for all things Mexican- taco meat, guacamole, rice, etc.
Italian spices- Basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary are all great for cooking. Be careful though, because these are STRONG. Sometimes all you need is just a toothpick dip, not a whole drop. Basically this just means to stick a toothpick in the bottle of essential oils and then stir the toothpick around in your dish. Sounds crazy, right? I'm telling ya, you'll taste it. Toothpicks are just THAT strong.
Can you just cook with any old essential oils?
No. Essential oils aren't regulated by the FDA, so you never know what the heck you're getting. Plus, if they're not organic, the concentration level of essential oils makes that a huge problem. If its bad to eat non-organic basil, imagine how bad it would be to eat several bunches of it. That's basically what you would be doing, since essential oils are so concentrated. It's important to know where they are sourced from.
I only trust Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. You can get more info on that HERE in my free online essential oil class.

We have recently switched to all cast iron skillets for more healthier cooking and we love it!

[@ourdiyary]

This looks so yummy! I don't cook with oils often, mostly because I forget! I love a drop of mint in my brownie batter though. 😋 Need to try this!

[@nancydee6106]

I make that same dressing with whatever herbs I have on hand! Dill is a must! Its so good!

[@debraspringers2098]

Love this recipe looks delicious.

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

[@courtneybougie7904]

Hi. I had no idea you could cook with essential oils! Thanks for sharing. Looks yummy.

[@keshiachristelle5112]

had no idea you can cook with essential oils, i just use mine in my diffuser. i need to learn more of this. thank you. 🙂

[@Princesshelyne]

Looks wonderful!

[@jeangeorge3143]

Thanks Lisa

[@donna8212]

Looks delicious Lisa!!

[@raraavis7782]

That looks so yummy! I‘ve recently started using essential oils in cooking and I‘m hooked! Without a garden it’s really quicker and easier then using herbs or spices. Still looking for a way to incorporate citrus oils in fatfree liquids like sparkling water...I would love to be able to ‚pimp‘ my sparkling water with just lemon juice and oil and maybe a little stevia, since stevia sweetened beverages aren’t available here. It’s basically cola light or water, if you want sugar free. But of course, the oil doesn’t dissolve. Bummer!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

That does sound delicious! Not sure how to incorporate the oil better though.

[@normalopezingle7732]

That sounds amazing!!!!

[@chelseahpurvis9227]

Have to try that salad dressing 🤤

[@The-Ancestral-Cucina]

This recipe is so yummmmmz😋

[@gracens1380]

Really interesting, thanks!

[@Amal-kj9rb]

Should try it looks delicious 🤩👍🏼

[@glendastryker3554]

Heating butter at such high temp turns it into a trans fat. Use ghee or avocado oil.

[@sweetteawhimsy3998]

Great recipes!!!!!

[@terrijordan5736]

Did you use coconut oil to fry the potatoes?

[@murphy1384]

Meal looked delicious. Chicken is always hard for me to get crisp. TYFS Mary

[@mandybewkes5300]

Yummy.

[@bubbiespeachesnaturalfoods3620]

Looks delicious! What brand essential oil do you suggest because I think mine are for external use only! Thx!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

We use doterra only. :)

[@heatherc3521]

So interesting! A couple of questions: are you using food-safe essential oils? I read a while back to either dilute essential oils with water, or use food-safe oils when cooking. Any truth to this in your experience?

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes, we are using only food safe oils! :)

[@katehill3610]

You can’t dilute oil with water. They don’t mix. You can add other oils though like butter or olive oil:)

[@jeangeorge3143]

Is the oils you use same as all the oils you buy like for oils for home fragrances

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes! I use DoTerra essential oils for my diffuser and for our food.

[@lennicorser2553]

This looks delish. This might sound kinda silly but, I’m having a hard time getting the drops I want! I always over drop by one. As I watch this, I fear over dropping my oil in!

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

It depends on the oil. Some are a little thicker than others and are easier. I sometimes drop in one extra, but mine are pretty easy to control. Maybe its the type of bottle?

[@MrsKeane25]

You can use a pipette or dropper. Citrus oils are the runniest.

[@raraavis7782]

Lenni Corser I also recommend getting empty pipette bottles on Amazon. I also dilute the oils, I use for cooking, half and half with a neutral oil to have better control, since I do a lot of single servings of food.

[@lorettapetronzi7184]

What is that metal container behind you. I've seen it in someone's home but I didn't know what it was. Is it a container for water?

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Yes! It's by Berkey water filter. You can find my review here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGmmknVno5hkn6s

[@nancydee6106]

Yeah one time I put cinnamon oil in my elderberry sera up and I put like five drops in there and it was something only adults could probably drink! Lol and we would not be sick for 10 years😂😂😂

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

Haha! Sounds strong.

[@ItsAshaMac]

Doesn't coming the essential oils cause them to go rancid?

[@heathersneddon8866]

Home made mayonnaise is so much better than shop bought stuff and it takes minutes

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I need to do that! Only so many hours in the day.

[@queenjess86]

Ewww MLM companies ....

[@dumpstergoth]

JessicaRene thank you!!! Yuck

[@billiedoll4560]

Yeah and you can't eat most oils

[@bjsummerlin2850]

What are you cooking on?

[@FarmhouseonBoone]

I have a little plugin burner for cooking videos.

[@PancitaLlena]

Farmhouse on Boone hi! Do you mind linking the burner? I have one that does not heat well. Thanks for all your videos! Inspiration galore!

[@babybop3016]
