Citrus Bliss and Eucalyptus Room Spray

Before I started using doTERRA essential oils, I was using store bought Febreze air fresheners and Lysol disinfectant sprays to deodorize and clean my home. I knew that these products contain chemicals that could be harsh on my body (hence, the respiratory system), especially when I breathe the fumes during cleaning. These products may have been effective in doing its job of eliminating unwanted odors and killing germs and bacteria on surfaces, but the lingering scent wasn't pleasant. Now that I ...

doTERRA Cleaning Spray

  As a doTERRA Wellness Advocate, I have removed chemical cleaning supplies in my home and switched to natural cleaning solutions. Before I started using doTERRA essential oils, I was buying chemical based household cleaners at retail stores like Comet scrub, Clorox bleach spray, Soft Scrub cleaner, Windex glass cleaner, and mildew cleaners. What do all of these cleaners have in common? They are made with harmful bleach to kill bacteria. They also smell terrible during the cleaning ... View the Post

As an essential oil user, I’ve found that the be As an essential oil user, I’ve found that the best and safest way to clean fresh fruits is using one of my dōTERRA citrus essential oils that I keep on hand in the kitchen. Today, I’m using dōTERRA Wild Orange šŸŠ essential oil and simply add a few drops šŸ’§šŸ’§to the glass bowl filled with strawberries šŸ“ soaked in filtered water. I like to alternate various citrus essential oils when cleaning fruits and vegetables such as Lemon šŸ‹ , Lime, Wild Orange šŸŠ, and Grapefruit essential oils. By using Certified Pure Tested Grade essential oils such as dōTERRA, you can trust that you’re using the safest essential oils on food products. The oil helps release and cleans any microorganisms that may be on the surface of fruits and vegetables.

I’m soaking the strawberries šŸ“ in the Wild Orange šŸŠ bath for 15 minutes and then drain out the water. I gave the strawberries a final rinse, pat them dry with paper towel before serving. I’m using these strawberries to make a healthy and delicious grilled chicken strawberry salad for lunch today.

This is my go-to quick meal for either lunch or di This is my go-to quick meal for either lunch or dinner. Fried eggs with chopped scallions. Add tamari and ground black pepper right before serving. I love it with rice šŸš. You can also serve it with a side of toasts. I don’t use butter or margarine and opt for extra-virgin olive oil for healthier cooking.

Valentine’s Day dinner meal. Made this delicious Valentine’s Day dinner meal. Made this delicious gluten-free and dairy-free  crispy chicken thighs in a creamy mushroom šŸ„ Marsala sauce. I didn’t follow any recipe and created my own version inspired by the classic chicken Marsala dish. This makes 4 servings. Think I will add this dish to my collection of healthy gluten-free home cooking. 

I simply threw everything together last minute with the ingredients that I had, I didn’t even write them down during the cooking process. I do know that the main ingredients are bone-on and skin-on chicken thighs, Bella mushrooms, yellow onions, garlic, Marsala cooking wine, chicken broth, parsley (garnish), and plant-based French style winter truffle spread made by @miyokoscreamery that was purchased from @imperfectfoods. 

This is good with a side of brown rice, quinoa, or any veggies of your choice.

Old friends whom I have not seen in more than 3 ye Old friends whom I have not seen in more than 3 years decided that they wanted to get together with me for lunch. I made healthy winter salad with roasted butternut squash and red beets served with organic greens and shredded carrots. For the appetizer, I made pomegranate salsa made with diced mini cucumbers, red onions, jalapeƱo, fresh cilantro and tossed with lime dressing consisting of ground cumin, chili powder, kosher salt, a few drops šŸ’§ of dōTERRA lime and cilantro essential oils. Today is about soup and salad course. When friends arrive, I’ll be serving homemade potato gnocchi chicken soup (Olive Garden copycat recipe). Here’s to a new year and more get togethers with friends. Life is short so create new memories together when we can! šŸ¤—šŸŒ»
I enjoy making this homemade Asian chicken rice po I enjoy making this homemade Asian chicken rice porridge anytime of the year, but particularly often during cold winter months. Being Southeast Asian (half Lao and half Vietnamese), we grew up eating this porridge frequently. It’s simple to make with just a few ingredients (Jasmine rice, 2 chicken breasts, chicken broth, and herbs like fresh cilantro and scallions to serve with). You can make a big pot and feed a family of 6-8 people and still have some leftovers. The best part is that it’s inexpensive to make and gluten-free. I love garnishing the porridge with fried shallots and my mom’s homemade chili šŸŒ¶ļø oil. Oh, it’s very spicy hot. 🄵
