The oils this month are Sage, Good Vibes, Marjoram, and Cedarwood.

One of the biggest differences I find with Simply Earth is the monthly recipes. In the past, I have ordered essential oils; when they arrive, I don’t remember what they do or why I ordered them. The Simply Earth recipe box contains the recipes for the oils included in the box as well as necessary additional support products to make the recipes.

Cleaning Supply Recipes and Labels

Make your own cleaning supplies with these recipes and labels. #printable #free #cleaning #recipes

lablels

Do you prefer to make your own cleaning supplies? Consider printing out these labels and grab a few spray bottles from the dollar store. Each label contains its own DIY recipe. If you want to make them all, you’ll need eight spray bottles, one 3 oz bottle (poop spray), and one condiment squirt bottle (toilet cleaner). The ingredients are simple and easily found as well. They include things you probably already have like vinegar, water, hydrogen peroxide, and a few others. 

The best part about making your own cleaning fluids is that you know the ingredients, and they cost a ton less than the store-bought brands.

New Cookbooks Available

Enter to win a new cookbook with recipes that only take 30 minutes from frozen.

Simon & Schuster has released three new cookbooks. I was sent the 30 Minute Cooking From Frozen book. I requested to review this title because it spoke to me. Not so much because I am busy but more so because I am lazy! What you will find in this cookbook are recipes that are far from basic or simple looking results. Thumbing through the book I think I saw two out of one hundred recipes I actually had made before. I love that there is no pre-thawing required.

The Everything Mediterranean Instant Pot Cookbook

Last year on a trip to Greece, I felt so healthy from eating Mediterranean food. The food was so clean and while it filled us up it did bloat us or make us feel stuffed. I was really excited to see The Everything Mediterranean Instant Pot Cookbook in hopes of gaining some of that experience back with food. I am really excited to try out some of the soup recipes as well as the Poultry. I am not sure which I will try first, Chicken and Orzo Soup, Easy Pesto Chicken and Potatoes, or Whole Roasted Chicken and Herbs. Don’t they all sound good?

About the book:

300 easy, healthy Mediterranean recipes for the most popular kitchen appliance—the Instant Pot—perfect for anyone following the Mediterranean diet!

The Mediterranean diet is celebrated all over the world for its fresh and healthy ingredients, vibrant flavors, and complex recipes. Following this diet can help you reduce inflammation, avoid disease, and lose weight, making it popular for anyone looking to live a healthier lifestyle.

The Everything Mediterranean Instant Pot Cookbook shows you how to recreate classic Mediterranean meals in under an hour using the much-loved multi-cooker, the Instant Pot.
