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, jalapeño, fresh cilantro and tossed with lime dressing consisting of ground cumin, chili powder, kosher salt, a few drops 💧 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! 🤗🌻

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 🌶️ oil. Oh, it’s very spicy hot. 🥵

This nutritious vegetarian lentil salad is packed

This nutritious vegetarian lentil salad is packed with fiber goodness. Cook lentils with chicken broth for added flavor. Then mix with chopped English cucumber🥒, red onion, sun dried tomatoes packed with olive oil, flat leaf parsley, and garnish with crumbled feta cheese. This salad is great on its own or serve with grilled or roasted chicken, salmon, or shrimp for added protein.

The dressing is made using the olive oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar, white balsamic vinegar, ground smoked paprika, pinch of kosher salt, black pepper, Dijon mustard, dōTERRA lemon 🍋 essential oil and black pepper essential oil.

I’ve been cooking and eating plant-based meals f

I’ve been cooking and eating plant-based meals for healthy cleanse nutrition. That means no meat products, dairy, gluten, sugar, and alcohol. It’s harder for me to be strictly on a plant-based nutrition, but at least I’m trying it out and have learned different ways of cooking plant-based meals. Hopefully, I’m losing a few pounds along the way! 😂

This pasta dish is so simple to make. Here’s the recipe (makes 6 servings)

16 oz Gluten-free Linguine Pasta
16 oz Jar Roasted Red Peppers

2. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions until el dente. Once done, drain and set aside.
3. When the roasted onions and garlic are done, let cool slightly before adding to a blender along with the jarred roasted red peppers with the liquid. Add the oats milk and corn starch. Blend until smooth.

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 🍜.

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! 😋

🥂This may be my last food post for 2021. My ann

🥂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 sautéed spicy garlic sesame green beans with sautéed 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 sautéed the shrimp 🍤 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?
