Sweet Nibbly Bits Yam Salad
Here I go, craving salads again. I may be in denial that winter is still among us. Just this morning I had a strong urge to get up early, throw on my running shoes, strap on my Garmin, and run down the country roads around our house. Problem is – as beautiful a run that…
Runners Repair Cookies
Something you don’t know about me… I was once training to become a body builder. It was a shortly lived dream though. The man I was seeing at the time didn’t like the muscles I was growing, so at his request, I stopped. Lesson: never stop pursuing your dreams for someone else, especially over something…
Valentine’s Hot Chocolate Float
I have to start off by thanking each one of you for the most successful month Healthful Pursuit has had so far! January was full of great conversations, questions, and a whole bunch of introductions. Thank you all for your continued support, love, and inspiration! HP would be nothing without you! Last week we enjoyed…
Garden Patch Bison and Elk Burgers
My earphones are alive! I have a new found respect for iPod earphones. I remembered a coworker suggesting that I put my iPhone in rice when I dropped it in my water bottle [don’t ask… I have a thing with electronics.]. So, when my iPod earphones were put through the wash on Saturday night, I…
Strawberry Almond Birds Nest Cookies
I went down memory lane making these cookies yesterday. I grew up in a fairly healthy household. We didn’t have a lot of money, but my mom tried the best she could to feed us the healthiest and highest quality ingredients. My dad was another story. He grew up with the notion – food is…
Apple Butter Barbecue Sauce
Mmmm look at those burgers… the recipe for these babies will be coming in a couple of days. Ooo they’re delicious! I’m behind on so many chores it’s unbelievable. Vacuuming? Nah, it can wait, I’m making cookies! Cleaning the toilet? Nope, can’t do it now, I’m whipping up some muffins! Making the bed? I’ll do…
No bake Brownie Fifteens
I woke up this morning to a toe hole in my favourite Burton socks. I cried a little inside. I love those socks. I would have taken a picture but, let’s be honest, foot pictures? eak! On with the eats… No bake Vanilla Fifteens were a huge success, high five! [I’m such a nerd] I…
In a Jiffy Bean Salad
Until a couple of years ago, I thought salt, was salt. Table salt, sea salt, it’s all the same and it’s all bad for you. Right? Wrong! Did you know there are actually therapeutic benefits to certain salts? Or that if taken correctly, salt can actually be good for your health? I know, you’re thinking…
Homemade Mini Studio
For the past couple of days, you’ve heard me talk about the mini studio we’ve been busy making. It all began when I read Ashley’s post about creating a homemade light box. How cool? I knew though, that I would feel limited with the space in the box – I like to move around a…
Crispy Coated Apple Fries
I am big on homemade fries with coconut oil. There was a period in my life, not so long ago, where all I’d eat for dinner were fries. Don’t get me wrong, potatoes are an amazing vegetable. They’re high in vitamin C, fiber, their easy on the digestive system, and high in vitamin b6 [great…
