Last weekend my kitchen sink backed up…
and it was a while before the plumbers could come…
the whole house smelled really bad 😩
Then I remembered my crock pot
You know how the aroma of what you’re cooking fills the whole house throughout the day when something’s in the slow cooker? 🍲
So this is my version of “Slow Cooker Aromatherapy”
Spray the inside of the pot with cooking oil spray. Toss in a cut up orange and sprinkle it with cinnamon, cloves, pumpkin pie spice and add a little water. Turn pot to high and put the lid on half way so the fragrance can quickly escape
Within a short time, your house will smell like you’re baking something wonderful like this Hot Buttered Rum Roll Cake
I used a mini crock pot for this, so if you use a bigger one, just add more stuff. Throw in lemons, rosemary, anything you have that smells good~
You can also just throw some stuff in a pan like this Holiday Fragrance
Raid your pantry, you can use a vanilla bean and extracts for wonderful smells
This citrus rosemary mix smells like you’ve got Orange Cornish Hens with Rosemary baking in the oven
These are economical and healthy ways to add fragrance to your home, especially if you can’t tolerate commercial potpourris and scented products
What is your favorite aroma?
