365 Days of Healthful Pursuit… And A Bit Of Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
Today marks the 1st blogiversary of Healthful Pursuit! The past 365 days have been filled with great food, inspiration, friendship, self care, triumph, frustration, and a whole lot a love.

Frozen “Boo”nana Pops (no sugar added)
It’s rare that I come across a recipe that I want to make SO badly that I literally run down to the kitchen to prepare it on the spot. The last time it happened was when I’d found Averie’s Blueberry Banana Oat Cakes. Just a couple of substitutions and it quickly morphed into what is…

Kevin and I decided to take it easy this past weekend. He’s been traveling so much for work that it was the first weekend in over 2 months that we’ve been able to just hang out. What relaxing activities did we do? We sat on the couch and caught up on our favorite shows! Many…

Gingerbread Brownies
I’ve been dying to share this recipe with you for days and days and years! I exaggerate. It’s only been two days. I’m quite good at exaggerating though. My excuse? I’m a Taurus which naturally limits my ability to state the facts correctly. That, and my Mom was a pro at it too. It was…

Staying attuned to the current season benefits our health, overall well-being, and gives us an excuse to eat more pumpkin. mmm pumpkin. Any guesses on what my favorite fall food is?

Healthy Charms Cereal with 4 Flavor Variations
Do you ever buy a product at the grocery store and think man I could totally make this at home and save a bunch of money? That happens a lot around here. Like the day I found out we could raise chickens in our backyard. Note: before entertaining the idea, make sure your dog doesn’t…
