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.

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.

Today is about soup and salad course. When friends arrive, I’ll be serving homemade potato gnocchi chicken soup (Olive Garden copycat recipe).

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. 🄵

When the weather is cold outside and you’re feel When the weather is cold outside and you’re feeling like eating something hot and comforting, it’s always good to have noodle soup šŸœ.

I love making homemade ramen noodles and found a  good gluten-free ramen noodles on Amazon. The noodles are dried and you have to cook it in hot water, then drain and add to your favorite homemade broth as a hot soup or toss with a sauce for savory noodles.

I made miso ginger broth from scratch and added frozen Asian style fish meatballs stuffed with roe (fish eggs). Once the broth is cooked and fish meatballs are soft, I added the broth to a bowl with cooked ramen noodles. Garnished the noodle soup with shredded Napa cabbage, cilantro leaves, fried garlic, and toasted black sesame seeds. The result is a yummy bowl of homemade ramen noodle soup.

As a home cook, I love making a variety of cuisines whether it’s American dishes, Asian, Mediterranean, or Italian. The most recent cuisine that I’ve learned to cook is Moroccan food. I’m loving the bold and rich spices of Moroccan dishes! šŸ˜‹

šŸ„‚This may be my last food post for 2021. My ann šŸ„‚This may be my last food post for 2021. My annual New Year’s Eve tradition is staying home and making a low carb healthy meal for dinner. I also like to clear out the refrigerator with any leftover veggies to cook with and whatever protein items are in the freezer.

My early dinner this evening is sautĆ©ed spicy garlic sesame green beans with sautĆ©ed jumbo shrimp. The spicy sesame sauce that I made for the green beans consists of tamari (gluten-free soy sauce), rice vinegar, garlic chili sauce, toasted sesame oil, and apricot preserves. Sliced fresh garlic cloves and scallions create the aromatics for the green beans. I reserved a bit of sauce in the pan and sautĆ©ed the shrimp šŸ¤ for 3-4 minutes. Everything came together in 20 minutes from prep time to cooking time.

Cooking for one doesn’t have to be laborious or boring. What are you cooking up for a New Year’s Eve dinner whether you’re celebrating with family and friends or just staying in alone?
