Homemade Salsa with Essential Oils


I've been experimenting with some yummy recipes and incorporating my love for doTerra Essential Oils. Here is my latest favorite recipe!

  • 1 can (28-ounce) whole tomatoes
  • 2 cans (10-ounce) diced tomatoes with chilies (I use mild)
  • 1/8 of an onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ t sugar
  • ¼ t salt
  • ¼ t cumin
  • ½ bunch of fresh cilantro (I LOVE cilantro, so I load it up – but you can use less)
  • 2 drops lime and/or lemon doTerra Essential Oils
    • Instructions
    Dump everything into your blender and pulse until you get the consistency you want. 
    Refrigerate for at least an hour, then serve and ENJOY. Kept refrigerated, the salsa should last for about a week (though you’ll eat it before then – trust me!).
    There are some great benefits to using essential oils in your food. You can read all about Lemon and Lime on the links provided! I love using lemon with vinegar in a spray bottle to clean with. I love using lime in my water as a easy and natural way to help detox my body on a daily basis. *Remember that using only Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade (CPTG) oils in food. Other oils can have additives that can be unsafe when taken internally.
    If you're interested in learning more about doTerra Essential Oils and how they can benefit your daily life let me know! I'm willing to help you! Enjoy your salsa!

Baby Bumpdate: Week 35

35 Weeks! That means only 5 left!!!! Holy cow!!! I think I'm starting to freak out just a little!!! How far along? 35 Weeks! Yea! How big is baby?  He's about 18 inches and just over 5 pounds. Weight gain? I gained a pound last week. Maternity Clothes?  Of course. I'm living in tanks right now because of the heat. Just wish I had more shorts to wear. Stretch Marks?  Nothing new. Just the ones from before and Monkey. Sleep? With this cold I'm not sleeping much. I'm getting a little better and able to sleep about 4 to 6 hours at night and then at nap time I'm able to get 1 or 2 more hours of sleep. However, I'm still exhausted especially because of the heat. It just drains all my energy. Even when I'm sitting in the shade under a fan. Of course it's only June so I'm not sure how this heat thing will effect me in July :/ Best Moment this Week?  Monkey kissing my belly before he went down for a nap. It was so cute. He ...

Media Monday: How it affects my child

Media is neither good or bad. Last week I talked about media in our marriage and a little bit about our family and media but today is all about Rex and media. Rex loves cartoons! Right now he happens to be watching Veggie Tales while eating lunch. This is not a normal thing at all. I can't remember the last time he was eating while watching TV. Today we had a crazy time and he asked to watch a movie and I didn't have a problem with it. Plus it's Veggie Tales.  We have a limit (during mommy in charge time) that he is only allowed to watch one movie/TV show each day and some days we don't watch anything. When daddy gets home things change and the TV is on within minutes of being home. Rex normally doesn't care that the TV is on because of our daily activities. He plays or helps me cook unless daddy is watching adult cartoons then he is more interested.  This past winter I found us watching more TV than I planned ever to let my children watch. So once it start...

Bikini Body Mommy Challenge Update!

So we are starting week 8 (I think). It's been a few weeks since I have officially sat down and updated on how I have been doing. Week 6 I did pretty good. The 4 am workouts were starting to wear on me so I decided to try and get a workout in after my hubby left for work but before the kids got up. Some days that went OK and other days not so well. I did however get several workouts in with the boys awake and they went pretty well. Monkey tired to join in with me and it was quite fun to watch. Of course he couldn't keep up with the workouts and took many breaks but it was fun to have him involved. This week I plan to do cardio days at 4 am in the gym because they are easier than trying to complete in the house. But for the non-cardio days I will do them in the house in the morning. That way I'm not completely exhausted everyday. Now for week 7. I have no idea even what the workouts were for last week. I didn't even look once! I have good reason though. My hubby h...
