Essential oils have been used for thousands of years, even before the pilgrims landed on the tip of Cape Cod, and before the closing celebration of a great harvest. Even though our Thanksgiving holiday isn't exactly how it used to be with Pilgrims and Indians sitting around a table in Plymouth, it sure is an awesome holiday to gather with friends and family in thanks, to enjoy a game of flag football and a traditional meal with loved ones. Turkey, mashed potatoes, green beens, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie and essential oils - count me in! Here are some easy, fun and delicious recipes to share for the holidays...
