Lemon balm lip balm ~ Sage Sausage Egg Muffins (Use leftover Pizza Toppings)

Remember all that lemon balm I harvested last summer?  Well, I made the infused oil with it, and got around to washing up containers and getting lip balm made.



I used the same recipe (Mountain Rose Herbs blog) for Calendula / Shea butter, but swapped out the oil for lemon balm infused oil.  I prefer to use the metal tins, but summer brings motorcycle rides, and the tubes are smaller and easier to carry (and less messy on very hot days).  I ended up making a bit of both - tubes and metal tins.

Something I learned - lemon balm prevents the breakout of cold sores.  I'll be giving this to someone to see if if will work as they state it does, and I'll be using it all summer.




I had a bit of sausage, bell pepper and onion leftover from our homemade pizza's, so I whipped up a small batch of Sage sausage/egg muffins for breakfast.  I used jalapeno's from the freezer to add some zest to them too.  So good.  I'll be tweaking my recipe and hope to post soon.  They need a bit more herbs/spices.  

The peanut butter cookies didn't last long.  Hubby has no self control when I bake them.


So...I baked German Chocolate Cookies.  This time I flattened them just a bit.

to help with my arthritis..in my neck! Does it help..? Maybe!
I also use Uddermint..Does that help..? Maybe!
What? What? You don't know what Uddermint is..? Google it!
Google it..You may be surprised what it's actually used for..!

Boy! You HAVE been busy. The muffins REALLY looked good too, and I bet they didn't last long either.
Discovered a bit ago that I am gluten sensitive, on top of being diabetic. So having to watch what I eat and make for dinner, and how I put it all together.
I am finding though that since I'm watching the gluten intake, I'm not having anywhere near as many IBS symptoms as I've had for years, and that's a great thing, because it's enabled me to take on more hours at work. PRAISE GOD!!!
Praying everyone has a great weekend, and a safe one too.
God bless.
