Top 5 Essential Oils For Cooking (+ how to use them!) #AskWardee 108

Is it safe to ingest essential oils? You may have noticed... this is a controversial topic! So, let's explore what aromatherapists and essential oil experts have to say about consuming essential oils for medicinal and culinary purposes.

Lacto-Fermented Cranberry Sauce

Lacto-Fermented Cranberry Sauce

It's not too early -- especially if you're on a special diet like GAPS, Paleo, or Primal -- to start planning your menus for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Use your crockpot for this GAPS-approved holiday recipe for mincemeat pie with oh-so-nourishing ingredients -- like meat, fruit, healthy fats, and a grain-free crust.

Fermented Cranberry-Orange-Apple Relish | I recently tweaked my mom's famous cranberry-orange-apple relish recipe to add a fermentation stage. Natural fermentation adds probiotic benefits and beneficial acids for the gut, as well as increases the vitamins and enzymes. As if that weren't enough, this relish (like many other lacto-fermented foods) is incredibly yummy. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

I didn't like cranberry sauce... until I made it myself with whole food ingredients. Now, Bridget A. wants to know if I have a recipe for naturally sweetened cranberry sauce. Watch, listen, or read to learn how to make fast and easy cranberry sauce in the Instant Pot! | AskWardee.tv

Quinoa Garden Salad

Quinoa Garden Salad

Know the feeling? You get attached to a certain bottled or restaurant dressing; then you find out it's full of junk. I can help! In this round-up of 28 fermented and probiotic-filled salad dressings, you're sure to find at least one that's just right!

Bacon-y Green Beans & Mushrooms In The Instant Pot | Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Believe me, I'm counting down the days. And Thanksgiving dinner just wouldn't be complete without Instant Pot green beans with bacon and mushrooms | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Curried Turkey Salad | One of my biggest Thanksgiving dinner challenges is finding something to do with all of the leftovers. A good turkey salad is versatile, keeps well, and can be served for lunch, snack, or dinner. This salad's got a twist -- a curried mayonnaise base. | TraditionalCookingSchool.com

Curried Turkey Salad {from turkey leftovers!}

Sometimes I'm just in a stuffing mood... Then the big questions are: what can I serve with it? What new twist can I create? I initially resisted adding sausage to my stuffing. Finally, I caved, and I'm so glad I did! My newest version is a savory sourdough stuffing with Italian sausage!
