The Scented Kitchen: Beat the Heat with Belle Aroma® and a Fresh Summer Recipe
Wholesale Inspiration for Your Retail Shelves
Here in the Midwest, July has arrived in full force—and so has the heat and humidity. For those of us who prefer admiring the garden from the comfort of the air conditioning, it’s the perfect time to bring the outdoors in—with scent.
At Belle Aroma®, we’re all about enhancing everyday moments through the power of fragrance. Lately, I’ve been using the Esprit de Fleur™ diffuser in my kitchen and home office. It’s my go-to solution for clean, powerful scent diffusion without the hassle of water or messy refills. Our waterless diffuser gently draws in and atomizes essential oil—no water to refill, no mess, and no dilution. Just pure, beautiful fragrance, every day. And yes, one 10 ml bottle can last up to 80 days, depending on your chosen cycle.
Right now, I’m diffusing On Eagles’ Wings® essential oil blend by Belle Aroma—a mood booster that energizes and uplifts, especially when I’m preparing dinner at the end of a long day. Other Belle Aroma® essential oils I rotate between include:
Lemongrass
Lavender
Peppermint
Rose Geranium
Ylang Ylang
Clary Sage
This diffuser and oil pairing makes a fantastic gift set or retail feature—especially for boutiques, gift shops, wellness centers, and spas looking to offer high-value, low-maintenance aromatherapy solutions.
Recipe Spotlight: Juicy Turkey Burgers with Zucchini
(From Skinnytaste by Gina Homolka)
This recipe is a summer favorite in my house—light, fresh, and incredibly flavorful. If you’ve never tried one of Gina’s recipes, this is a great place to start. Trust me—this is not your average dry turkey burger.
What You’ll Need:
6 oz grated zucchini (about 4.25 oz after squeezing)
1 lb 93% lean ground turkey
¼ cup seasoned whole wheat or gluten-free croutons (crushed)
1 clove garlic, grated
1 tbsp red onion, grated
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Oil spray, as needed
Instructions:
Squeeze ALL the moisture from the zucchini using paper towels. In a large bowl, mix the ground turkey, zucchini, breadcrumbs, garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. Form into 5 equal patties (about 4 oz each), keeping them thin for even cooking.
Cooking options:
Grill, stovetop, or air fryer! I tried both the grill and the flat-top griddle—delicious either way. Next time, I’m going to give the air fryer a spin. (P.S. The best ribeye I’ve ever cooked indoors was in the air fryer—don’t knock it ‘til you try it!)
I served these burgers with fresh garden veggies and a glass of homemade berry kombucha—truly a perfect summer dinner.
