For the love of a diffuser

Well as we know I love essential oils. I love diffusers just as much. A favorite mix of mine to run pretty constantly through the house is a Germ Fighter (or an immune oil) and partner it with Grapefruit. The smell of this….wowsers. And the benefits?

Purpose of a diffuser: Diffusers disperse essential oils as a fine vapor through the air so they can be absorbed gently into the body through the respiratory system.

My Fav Recipe: I use plant therapy oils

For large diffuser–

5 drops Germ Fighter or Immune: Keeps your body protected by helping ward off seasonal threats going around work or schools by keeping your body on attack.

8 drops Grapefruit: A happy oil, lightens up mental fatigue and moodiness. Causes a wonderful smell and a mood pick me up!

I found two large Diffusers off Amazon and I love them. I don’t feel you need to spend a crazy amount of money to have a great, effective diffuser added to your room.

Enjoy! 💕

No Sugar Added Banana Bread

My word!! What is it about the smell of banana bread floating through the house, that creates some sort of comfort? Maybe it’s from my own childhood or maybe it’s just the sweet smell that makes you want your house to smell like that everyday!

Banana bread has been a favorite of mine for so long. As much as I love trying new things or experimenting,  I simply love the “classic” recipes. This recipe has my heart and my daughters tummies.

I make a very simple bread using the classic recipe…HOWEVER, over the years I’ve added my own ingredients to the recipe.

You’ll need:

3eggs

4/5 ripe bananas

2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

3 cups flour

1 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup maple syrup **

2tsp vanilla**

1tsp cinnamon**

 

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees, prepare your bread pan (spray with coconut oil).

Mix together eggs, syrup, oil, vanilla,  then add banana while smashing down with whisk to the consistancy you desire.

Stir together cinnamon, soda, salt, flour ( I sometime will add less than a tsp of baking powder )

Pour the wet ingredients in with the dry while stirring (If it seems to thick, add a little milk or water, it will be fine).

Once it’s all mixed together pour it into the bread pan and place in the oven.

 

I like to let mine bake 45-60 minutes, I like when the top is a golden brown. Stick a knife through the middle to make sure the bread is cooked through.

Enjoy the lingering smell…and the taste because if your children are like mine it’s gone within a day or two!!
