The smells of fall are so intoxicating with the strong fragrance of cinnamon, cloves, citrus and rosemary, I just can’t get enough. Until recently I have always loved to diffuse the oils in my home in almost every room. Last week my dog, Sam started to have Petit Mal Seizures. The first thing the Vet asked me was if I diffused essential oils in the home. I immediately went home to every room and unplugged my beloved plug ins and put away my diffusers. I am not going to jeopardize the health of my pets, or at least try to see if this makes a difference.
I have other plans though to get the smells I love so much filling up my home and feeling the fall vibes again. I have a few simmer pot recipes that I absolutely love. I use my slow cooker because it has a simmer control, but you can also put a slow cooker on high and it will go all day with the wonderful scents of fall. If you need to you can also use a regular pot on the stove top, just make sure you don’t forget about it for hours on end.
