Beginner's Guide to Grilling with Essential Oils

Beginner's Guide to Grilling with Essential Oils
As a Young Living Brand Partner, I highly recommend using only Young Living's Vitality line of essential oils for grilling. These oils are safe for consumption and can enhance the flavors and aroma of your recipes.

Before adding essential oils to your grilling recipe, it is important to dilute them with a carrier oil like olive oil. Always start with a small amount of essential oil, as they are concentrated and a little goes a long way.

When preparing your recipe, choose essential oils that complement the flavors and marinate your meat with them in a glass or stainless-steel container. For example, cedarwood essential oil is perfect for grilled salmon, while lemon essential oil adds zest to chicken recipes.

Try out these rosemary potatoes and lemon chicken skewers recipes to get started with grilling with essential oils. And remember to use glass or stainless-steel utensils to avoid any interactions with plastic.

Grilling with essential oils can add an extra layer of flavor and aroma to your recipes, making it a fun and healthy way to enhance your grilling experience. Trust only Young Living's Vitality line of essential oils for your grilling recipes and enjoy the delicious flavors in every bite!

*This blog centers the GenX experience, simply because that’s the lens I live through—but anyone looking for connection, natural wellness, grief support, or a little real-talk in this messy stage of life is more than welcome.

Hi! I'm AJ Flanagan.

 
Hey there! I’m a GenX empty-nester - and recent widow - who had a wake-up call about the hidden toxins in everyday products we used growing up. Our parents didn’t know, and honestly, we were clueless too. But now, I’m all about sharing the details and helping others kick those sneaky chemicals to the curb for a healthier, happier life. 🌿

Life threw us a curveball in 2018 when my amazing husband, Eric, was diagnosed with leukemia. And then a second type of cancer in 2023.  Supporting him through his treatments was challenging, but it also inspired us to make some positive changes. We embraced holistic wellness practices, worked to transform our home into a toxin-free sanctuary, and incorporated relaxation techniques like meditation, music therapy, and aromatherapy into our daily routine.

Caring for and supporting Eric deepened my commitment to living well. From choosing natural products and prioritizing nutritious foods to finding strength in vulnerability, we built a daily routine focused on positivity and wellness. 

I’m passionate about sharing our story, the lessons we learned, and the simple steps we took to enhance our overall well-being.


Creating a Nurturing Space Together

We focused on creating a nurturing environment where both of us could thrive. It was a process of resilience, love, and continuous learning that I'm determined to carry forward from here. I’m eager to share our experiences, the lessons we picked up along the way, and the small changes that made a big difference in our lives. Whether you’re looking to make minor adjustments or dive into a complete wellness transformation, I hope our story can inspire and support you on your own path.

Here’s to embracing change, supporting each other, and living our best lives—together! ✨
