Friday Favorites: My Favorite Oils to Cook With + Recipes

Okay, so today I wanted to tell you guys about my favorite oils to cook with. And I thought I would even share my favorite recipes with you too! 

First up, Lemon. I love our Lemon oil. You can add it to your water. You can add it to chicken recipes, but my favorite way to cook with Lemon oil is by making Lemon Fruit Dip. 

Try it, you'll see what I mean. 

Next, I love our Black Pepper/Pink Pepper oil. I make a mean peppered burger that the whole family loves. Even the pickiest ones. 

And finally, are you really cooking if you don't use Rosemary oil? One of my favorite comfort foods is mashed potatoes. My mouth is watering just thinking about them. And just when I thought mashed potatoes couldn't get any better, I found out they could...with Rosemary. 

Do you have a favorite oil to cook with? Or a recipe you're known for? You have to tell us! 

• 1 package cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 drops lemon oil

Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla and lemon oil with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Serve with your choice of fresh fruits. 

• 1 pound ground beef
• salt to taste
• Pink or Black pepper oil
• Preheat outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil grate. 
• Form ground burger into 4 patties

Place patties on the prepared grill. When meat juices appear on the top of the burgers, add a drop of black pepper oil per patty and spread. Cover and cook 6 to 8 minutes or to desired doneness. 

• 5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced.
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt

Peel, dice and boil the potatoes for 20-25 minutes or until soft. Drain potatoes and place in a bowl with butter. Allow butter to melt then add cream. Mash potatoes thoroughly until desired consistency, adding milk as needed. Stir in oils, garlic, and salt to taste. Place in serving bowl and keep warm.
