peppermint

I've been diffusing peppermint essential oil throughout the house lately. It's such a refeshing, invigorating scent! Plus, it makes it feel like holiday time ... and I'm a total sucker for the holidays. And wow! Talk about a festive looking leaf!
So I've been thinking about peppermint. It's an amazing plant, really. Peppermint oil is an excellent digestive, anti-inflammatory, and an antiseptic. It helps the respiratory system and helps with circulation. All of this while also tasting delicious and making us happy!
So I did a little search and found this amazing blog:
with an entire post dedicated to peppermint dessert recipes! Check them out.

Here's to peppermint!

    My firstborn LOVES peppermint! I make her cream cheese peppermints for her March birthday each year. Sooooo cheap and easy!

    Love the scent of the stuff, too!

    Oh, thank you! I needed more excuses to eat peppermint. :-)

    Actually we grow a few varieties in our yard. It kind of takes over everything if you don't keep it in check, but I have fond memories of picking and eating it as a child.

    I love peppermint and have tried it in just about everything -- tea, lip balm, body wash and more. It's definitely invigorating!
