Cocktail sauce ... with doTerra lemon essential oil

It's been a while since I've done a foodie post, my apologies. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you'll know life has been rather hectic and fraught of late since we had The Boy's father in the hospital for a few times. Fortunately, he is well now and we are home.

And the best part? I've started cooking again.

Okay, this is not much cooking but The Boy really likes a cheese platter with cold meats for a late lunch. It has been our go-to on a hot afternoon (and it's been really hot here!!).

The platter usually consists of a few slices of cheese, some cured meat, either prosciutto or salami, some rock melon and most recently, the addition of freshly cooked and chilled prawns. With the prawns comes a need for a good cocktail sauce and The Boy has not liked the store bought ones, so I've started making my own.
