December’s Recipe Using Clove and More!
December’s Recipe Using Clove and More!
Oh, Christmas tree, oh, Christmas tree…how lovely are thy seasonal fruits! Mixed with fresh baby greens, this makes a festive holiday salad with colors that glimmer like twinkling lights. I like to introduce this dish by separating the ingredients for my children to design their own edible Christmas trees. I encourage them to decorate any way they choose and then we take pictures of their artwork. They are more excited to eat their creations when they have had their hand in the creative play—and I am thrilled to see them eating healthfully!
Clove, cinnamon, tangerine, and orange YLTG essential oils electrify the taste buds for a delicious, tangy, sweet, and spicy start to any holiday celebration. As we sprinkle drops of orange oil on the salad (see recipe instructions), I like to share with my children the story of how in times of hardship, seasonal fruits and nuts were given as presents instead of toys. The drops of oil nestled within the fresh greens represent oranges as presents under the Christmas tree. The surprise is revealed when tasting the hint of oil throughout each bite. Brighten this time of the year with health and vitality from the gifts found in nature.

Clove Cinnamon Seeds
1 c. soaked and dried pumpkin seeds
1 c. soaked and dried sunflower seeds
3/4 c. maple syrup or maple sugar
¼ c. Nama Shoyu or wheat-free Tamari
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
2 drops YLTG clove oil
1 drop YLTG cinnamon oil
This component should be made at least two days ahead of time. Combine ingredients and pour onto solid dehydrator sheets in one layer. Dehydrate 24 hours @ 105° Fahrenheit. Flip the gooey mixture onto mesh sheets. Continue drying until crisp, approximately 24 hours. Store in the freezer until ready to use.
Tangerine Pomegranate Vinaigrette
1/3 c. raw honey or maple sugar
1/4 c. pomegranate juice
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1 c. grapeseed oil
1 Tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1 Tbsp. dried onion flakes
1/4 tsp. ground mustard powder
1/4 tsp. Himalayan salt
1/4 tsp. fresh ground pepper
3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
4 drops YLTG tangerine oil
Half one pomegranate and juice both halves in a citrus juicer, as if juicing an orange. Reserve 1/4 cup extracted juice for the dressing. Blend first three ingredients in a Vita Mix blender. On slow speed, add grapeseed oil until emulsified. Pulse chop the remaining ingredients. (Before adding the tangerine oil, I like to taste the dressing first. Then, I add the oil drops to taste the difference. I truly appreciate how delightful the oil flavors the recipe!)
Orange Holiday Greens
1 lb. mixed baby greens
4 Fuyu persimmons, julienne
4 red pears, julienne
2 baby cucumbers, sliced
Seeds from 1 pomegranate
4 drops YLTG orange oil, per serving
1 starfruit, sliced (optional to top the tree)
Toss baby greens with vinaigrette. Mound salad greens in the center of each plate. Drop 4 drops orange oil throughout each mound of greens. Arrange ingredients around plate for everyone to decorate their own Christmas tree. Top the mound with a slice of starfruit (optional).

Healthy Old Fashion Oatmeal Essential Oil Cookies
Healthy Old Fashion Oatmeal Essential Oil Cookies
Original Recipe by April Travis
(Makes 6-7 dozen depending on the size you want them; I like 'em big!)
Ingredients:
2 cups non GMO butter (1 lb. or 4 cubes)
12 ozs cold pressed organic honey
12 ozs Young Living Blue Agave
4 organic brown free range eggs
6 cups sifted whole grain flour (King Arthur stone ground is great - 5 lb bag will do it)
2 tsp. allspice
4 tsp. cinnamon
3 drops Young Living cinnamon bark oil - Cinnamomum Verum)
2 tsp. cloves
3 drops Young Living clove oil - Syzygium Aromaticum)
3 drops Young Living Thieves oil blend
2 tsp. sea salt
4 tsp. baking soda
1 1/3 cups goat milk
4 cups organic raisins (24 oz. canister covers it)
7 cups oatmeal (42 oz. canister covers it)
7 cups organic walnuts (halves)
2 tsp. vanilla
Cream together butter, honey/agave, and eggs and set aside.
Sift flour then measure.
Sift together flour, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, salt and baking soda.
Stir dry ingredients into creamed mixture.
Preheat oven to 375.
Mix in milk, vanilla and essential oils.
Stir in raisins, walnuts and oatmeal.
Drop by well-rounded tablespoons onto greased cookie sheet. (I prefer to hand roll them perfectly round.
Dust your hands withdry flour as needed so the dough doesn't stick to you hands.)
Bake at 375 for 17-19 minutes.
NOTE: Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and Blue Agave are carried by Young Living Essential Oils: (ask your distributor).
*Oils must be Therapeutic Grade! Bottles must state: Essential Oil Supplement
DO NOT INGEST OILS THAT ARE NOT LABELED AS SUPPLEMENTS, SUCH AS AROMATIC OR PERFUME GRADE OILS. THESE GRADES ARE LOADED WITH SYNTHETIC CHEMICALS AND ARE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
Don't expect the same results unless you are using Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils and supplements. Also each person is different so they may not work as well for you as it does for others so try another oil or supplement that would work better for you. Essential oil testimonials are an effective way of learning and sharing. With this knowledge, we can take control of our own personal health. However, we are required by law to state: "These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. Products and techniques mentioned are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease."

Thieves® was created based on research about four thieves in France who covered themselves with cloves, rosemary, and other aromatics while robbing plague victims. This proprietary essential oil blend was university tested for its cleansing abilities. It is highly effective in supporting the immune system and good health.*
