I love mint!!! To me this is the herb of summer. A I love mint!!! To me this is the herb of summer. And apparently my mint plant is loving our weather because unlike my basil plant, is doing amazing. . My favourite mint recipe...well the Mojito. 😋. But I also love it for flavour in my sparkling water, in my kombucha, watermelon feta salad and mint sauce with lamb. It is great for medicinal purposes too. Mint tea for stomach upset. . For those allergy sufferers, mint can stop the release of histamine, and reduce the symptoms of itchy, watery eyes and congestion. . What are some of your favourite mint recipes? . . . #herbgarden #mintleaves #healthylifestyle #over40blogger #yycblogger #allergyfriendly #yycmom #nutritiontips #yychealth #summerherbs #midlifeblogger #foodforhealth #mintmojito #mintrecipes

Now excuse us as we go eat some poutine and have a Caesar. Sorry, not sorry 🤷‍♀️😄. . #poutine #poutinebar #canadadaycelebrations #yycfood #calgaryfoodie #summercelebrations #kickofftosummer #bloggersofcanada #yycbloggers #yycinfluencer #canadianbloggers #caesars
‘My doctor told me to take my iron everyday and ‘My doctor told me to take my iron everyday and live on greens’... . This year both of us are taking up the game of golf again. We did it because, well, we have more time on our hands now that the kids are grown. But have found many other great benefits to golfing again. . Today on the blog Christine has her top reasons to hit the links again. (It isn’t all ball whacking 😝). Link in bio ⛳️ . Are you a golfer, wanna be golfer, just there for the laughs golfer or golf just isn’t for you. . . . #yycgolf #ladieswhogolf #scottsdalegolf #midlifeblogger #over40fitness #midlifehealth #calgarygolf #nikegolf #over40influencer #over50fitness #womensgolf #womenwhogolf #yycliving #calgarylife #alwaysbegolfing #golfinggirls
