If you've been following along, you know that we've been talking about incorporating essential oils into your kitchen and foods, specifically your holiday meals. Of course, I want to be clear that I only recommend using Young Living Essential Oils for ingestion as they are super safe and better than organic. Have doubts? Check out their Seed-to-Seal commitment. Always find out how your oils are grown, cultivated, harvested, distilled, tested and bottled before using them so that you know they are pure and have no synthetics or chemicals added (or even around).
Ok, so if you've missed the first two {The Main Event and The Other White Pinkish Meat}, head on over and check those out. We'll wait.

Now that you're back, let's talk about some sides. A traditional side dish for my family during the holidays is green bean casserole. We use french style green beans and cream of mushroom soup and of course, french fried onions. MMM. This is definitely one of my favorites. But how about a twist on this classic using some of your most commonly used essential oils.
