This is the final post in the “Top 10 Posts of 2012″ series.
First there was the Top 10 Recipes and then the Top 10 DIY posts.
So–what’s left?
Hmm…The “other” posts 
.
Mostly health related with some kitchen tips mixed in…
Which Essential Oils Company is Best? – Part 1
Yep – the one that started off this whole series on the Best Essential Oils.
I really had a lot happen in my life after that initial post and had a TON of research to do.
Sorry it’s taken so long, but hey–we’re almost at the end .
Are Essential Oils a Scam? ~ A Skeptic Looks at Thieves Oil
This was maybe really the post that started it all. My first experience with essential oils.
How to De-gas Beans
We used to be vegans (mainly because I thought meat was gross, and caused heart attacks, and because beans were cheaper.
I’ve since learned a lot about meat that has caused us to add it to our diets, but we still eat quite a lot of beans…like in my Indian Lentils, Super Savory Hummus, and Fast Bean Dip, but we have no–ahem-tooting issues due to the info in this post. Enjoy!
Why I Don’t Make Laundry Detergent
I tried. Really I did. But this is one DIY that just didn’t work out that great.
Which Saves the Most–Dehydrating, Canning, or Freezing?
Food preservation is a GREAT way to save money. Stock up on foods when they’re cheap and eat them when they’re not!
Come find out which preservation method is the least expensive!
How to Substitute Sweeteners in Cooking and Baking
Some pretty simple tips to help you use whatever sweetener you happen to have.
Could You Have Heavy Metal Poisoning and Not Know It?
This post is the beginning of another series that I hope to pick up again soon.
I never knew much about heavy metal toxicity but I think that what I am learning will really interest all of you.
Could You Have Adrenal Fatigue and Not Know It? Take this Quick Test.
Adrenals are one more thing that I didn’t know much about until the past 2 years–since I ended up with adrenal burnout.
We’ll touch more on this and heavy metals as well this year, hopefully.
The FDA Says, “Probiotics Are Dangerous and Arsenic is Healthy”??
The FDA gets goofed up sometimes. Read and share this important post!
The Easiest Way to Peel Garlic
A simple kitchen tip that has saved me a bunch of time.
Though I think I have another method that’s a little easier now.
Actually, My Top 10 Recipes of 2011 was also super popular.
I could have added it to my Top 10 Recipes of 2012 but it wasn’t in the Top 10 recipes, so here it is instead.
If you’re really into good recipes, you can check that out as well .
I’d love to hear if one of these posts was one of your favorites.
I personally really enjoyed writing the FDA post, but am very passionate about the heavy metals and adrenal posts since I am dealing with them daily.
I so look forward to sharing more with you this coming year!

These posts all look so good! It will be hard to know where to start.
Anyway, thanks for posting this. If you’ve never visited yet, I hope you can pop by my blog sometime to say hi…

Love the sweetener tips. We are switching to local honey to help with one of our kids’ seasonal allergies. Can really use this guide. Thanks! Stevie @ ruffledfeathersandspilledmilk.com
Stevie recently posted..Ready, Set, Mix.
I enjoyed many of these posts, but especially the one on sweeteners. This is a great collection of some of your best, Adrienne!
Thanks, April!
I loved this collection of your best posts 2012 and when I start reading your posts I can never stop! I love your website so no wonder this was one of the most clicked on posts in Healthy Vegan Fridays: http://www.greenthickies.com/healthy-vegan-friday-28/ I hope to see you again next week. Have a great weekend. Katherine
Thanks, Katherine! I found your blog about 2 months ago and need to visit more. Thanks! I missed you all this week. My son handles the link ups and we’ve been a little bogged down
.
I have tested several oils and came to the conclusion that YL was the best deal. I also noticed doTera doing a lot of mud slinging!
Did you read my series on essential oils? I’d be interested in hearing what you thought and how you “tested” the oils – thanks!
I did skim through your series. I am new with oils.
The only testing was smell, diffusing, and topical.
I purchased Now brand, Aroma Land, Mountain Rose,
Edens Garden, and Melaleuca brand. I think the best
way to find the best oils is contact someone in the
manufacturing of it.
Yes – that’s what I did
. There’s more to come. I think you’ll enjoy it.
