Dipped Rose Shortbread Cookies
I may or may not have gone overboard on Valentine’s Day recipes. It kinda just… happened. I lost myself for 5 hours baking on Saturday. When I bake, I taste, I experiment, I taste some more… I made over 6 different things 1-2 times each. That’s a lot of taste testing in 5 hours. I…
Sleepy Banana Muffin Smoothie
I’ve been making smoothies everyday for breakfast for the last 3.5 years. I even brought my VitaMix with me to Portugal on a business trip, just so I wouldn’t miss out on my breakfast tradition. Commitment? Or fear that I wouldn’t know how to ask for a smoothie in Portuguese? We’ll never know. My smoothie…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Irresistible Chocolate Truffle Cookies
I was going to begin today’s post by saying “I’ve never been a big fan of Valentine’s Day”, but I’d be lying. Although I say that I don’t celebrate, or care, year after year I find myself running to a craft store on February 13th getting supplies for a homemade present for Kevin. I just…
Green and Clean Pesto Lentil Patties
I must have spring on the brain. Everything I’ve eaten today is green. Breakfast #1: Green Monster Breakfast #2: Added hemp powder to my cereal Snack: Cucumbers and leftover cilantro pesto Lunch: Green and Clean Pesto Lentil Patties on a ginormous spinach salad Snack: Kale salad with pumpkin seeds… One of my friends growing up…
