This is a great taco filling.

Taco Seasoning (recipe below)
3 drops Lime Essential Oil 
3 drops Cilantro Essential Oil
3 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breasts


Place all ingredients except chicken in slow cooker and stir. Add chicken and stir to coat. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 6-8 hours. Shred chicken with 2 forks and serve as a taco filling, taco salad topping, or even on a gluten free bun. I love this with coleslaw.


Taco Seasoning

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Lemon Pudding Cake

10/21/2014

Picture
This may not be sugar free, but you definitely won't miss the gluten or the dairy. You get this firm pudding as a base with a light meringue topping. 

1 1/2 cups organic coconut sugar
4 tblsp. potato starch
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tblsp. melted coconut oil
15 drops Lemon Essential Oil
5 eggs, separated
2 cups almond milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix sugar, potato starch and salt in large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients except the egg whites. Mix well.
Beat egg whites in small bowl until stiff peaks form. Fold into other ingredients. Pour into 8" x 8" square or small rectangular glass or stoneware pan. This pan will then be placed into a larger glass, stoneware or foil pan filled with 1" of hot water.

Bake for 45-50 minutes. Test by taking a knife and pulling the cake away from the side of the pan to make sure it is set. (It will set more as it cools.) Carefully take the cake pan out of the pan filled with water. (You can do this by using a knife placed under an edge and gently lifting up so you can grab it with a potholder.) Store in refrigerator after it has cooled.

Next time I make this I am going to add some raspberries. Mmmmm.

Chicken Ham Soup

This is one of those "whatever's in the fridge" soups that turned out as a winner. As with most soups, add other veggies or leave some out. Same with the oils. Play with it and have fun. Let me know what you come up with.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium carrots, sliced
4 cups chicken broth
2 yellow potatoes, cubed
1/2 cup celery leaves, chopped
1 1/2 cups cubed ham
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 teaspoon salt
1 drop Basil Essential Oil
1 drop Ginger Essential Oil
1 drop Lemon Essential Oil
1 drop Fennel Essential Oil
2 drops Black Pepper Essential Oil
Optional - 1/2 cup dairy free coconut milk

Saute onions and carrot in olive and coconut oil over medium heat for about 8 minutes. Add broth. Bring to boil. Add potatoes and celery leaves. Return to boil then simmer for 20 minutes. Add ham, chicken, salt, and essential oils. (Try adding Cilantro, too.) Heat through. Add coconut milk if using and return to simmer. Serve.

You could also throw all of this in a crock pot except the coconut milk and set on low for the day. I heated it all on the stove and then put it in the crock pot to keep it warm until dinner. Turned out great.

Roll into about 1" balls. At this point you can roll in coconut sugar or cinnamon sugar if you want. Another alternative is to sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before baking. Press balls down using your hand or the bottom of a glass until they are about 1/4" thick. 

Bake for 8 minutes. If you want them crunchier, bake for 10 minutes. Let cool on pan for 1/2 hour. Transfer to plate and let sit for a few hours.

Lemon Cauliflower

I am so glad I found this combination. Just take your cauliflower florets and saute until they start to brown. Add a little water or chicken broth and 2 drops of Lemon Essential Oil. Cook until the cauliflower is tender or done to your liking. The liquid will evaporate, so keep adding water/broth as you go.
