Cough Drops w/ doTERRA On Guard

I have been busy baking today and its not over yet! These I made over nap! Cough Drops w/ doTERRA On Guard Essential Oil! 

↘This is the Link with the recipe I used!!

http://www.graciousrain.com/2012/11/20/honey-spice-cough-drops/  Except I did 1/2 the recipe and did 4 drops On Guard and once they were hard I coated them with powdered sugar!!
Recipe~
1 C Sugar

1/4 C Water

1/4 C Honey

1/8 C Butter

4 Drops doTERRA On Guard Essential Oil 

 

Directions~

1. Put all the ingredients except On Guard Essential Oil in a heavy pan and cook slowly over medium heat until it reaches the "hard crack stage." 302* degrees
2. Resist the urge to turn the heat up higher to speed up the process. It will burn unless you keep it on medium and check it often.
3. Once @ 302 Degrees take off heat.
4. Wait about 30 seconds to a minute and then add the OnGuard Essential Oil.
5. Stir.
6. Pour into a buttered cookie sheet.
7. Fold edges of the candy into the middle until cool enough to handle.
8. Working quickly, pull and roll into long strips...and cut into nickle size pieces.
9. Allow to cool completely and harden.
10. If your drops have been cooked long enough, you'll be able to store them in a ziploc bag unwrapped.
11. If they are a bit soft and still sticky, wrap them in waxed paper squares or coat with powdered sugar and store in a ziploc bag.

Snickerdoodles w/ Vanilla Whey Protein

I made these for the first time the other day! I always thought snicker doodles had PB in them so I never made them cause I hate PB.. well turns out they didnt! But of course I had to change the ingredients to add my secret weapon! Whey Protein! All I do is substitute some of flour for scoop of Vanilla Whey Protein!

Experimental Dinner!! Caramelized Honey Dijon Chicken n Duchess Potatoes!

So last night was another experimental dinner night.. I made Caramelized Honey Dijon Chicken and Duchess Potatoes.. On the Chicken I edited cause I didn't have everything it called for so instead of the spicy mustard, I did 2 dabs of hot sauce.. and on the potatoes my family wasn't a huge fan, but over all a good meal..
