Spinach Pesto Sauce

Young Living has a complete line of Essential Oils that are great for use in cooking. I will be posting recipes that use the Vitality line of oils from time to time. Considering I am married to and have completely been immersed into the Italian culture for the last 28 years I think it is only appropriate for the first recipe to be of an Italian flavor. I hope you enjoy this recipe. If you would like to purchase any of the Vitality oils needed to complete the recipe, contact me at katlag2016@gmail.com. Or if you just have questions pertaining to Young Living Essential Oils, I am more than happy to answer your questions.

Spinach Pesto Sauce: Heat the pine nuts in a skillet until golden brown. Combine with spinach, parmesan cheese, garlic, and about 1/2 cup of olive oil in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour pesto into a glass or stainless steel bowl and add more olive oil if needed. Stir in the essential oils.

I'm Back...finally!

What a crazy couple of months. Yes, I dropped off the face of the earth for a while but hopefully I am back.
My plan to cook and show my recipes became so overwhelming I could not keep it up.
So here is the skinny on why everything came to a screeching halt. My son, the Navy Lt., as of March 31 is no longer on active duty and blessed us by coming home with his young family. I am so happy to have my 2 California born grand babies in Texas to bond with and get them turned into proper Texans! Luckily, they are young enough they never even need to know they ever lived any where but the great state of Texas! That being said, I AM EXHAUSTED! I realize why more everyday why God makes it possible for young people to have children. My NingXia Red and my En-R-Gee Essential Oil  have been REALLY come in handy to give me that extra energy boost I need! Come join me in my oily journey!

1.5.2016 - Sausage

So truly this dinner was nothing to write home about. One of our sons came home from a 3 month trip to Australia and there was just not time to prepare a huge meal. The trick was just getting a meal cooked before he passed out from jet lag.
Seriously, Johnsonville Italian Hot Sausage is what we ate along with Bush's baked beans.

It's a short post but I'm trying to keep this up so give me credit for being able to write a post everyday.

1.4.2016 - Calzone

So...last night's meal was really so very easy! My Italian husband, loves Calzone! Needless to say, it can be expensive to order out and since I am on a quest to NOT eat out and save money I went looking for a recipe. I don't even know why I needed a recipe, it was so easy! I found the recipe on the Pillsbury website but didn't really do it the same way they did. I pretty much modified it for me.


Here Goes...

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.









All you need is a pizza crust, pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and whatever you want in your Calzone. My Hubs prefers pepperoni and mushroom.
Basically roll out your pizza crust on a cookie sheet. I lined mine with foil to make clean-up easier. Put pizza sauce on half of the crust and add cheese and whatever other toppings you want to add. Fold over the crust on top of the sauce and toppings and pinch edges together.

Cook for 30-35 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown.

                                                    This is what it looks like out of the oven.

And a picture of the inside.






It was REALLY good! And the best part is, Hubs said he liked it and I should definitely make it again!
Success!!
