A Pursuit of Healthy

I totally understand that some of you may have kids or husbands, or both, who are not 100% on-board with all of your ideas of healthy eating. I get it! My husband still isn't entirely sure about quinoa. I have a friend who makes a lot of my recipes (Hi Megan!) and her husband texted mine that he doesn't know what's in half...

Doing this makes my week run so much smoother and saves us money on groceries. Seriously, it's a win win!  Here is our menu for the week: Don't freak out about the baked...

You guys...Hey! It's been a minute, huh!? This summer threw us for a loop and my poor little blog here just fell by the wayside. I apologize. So here's a recap of the last 3 months of my life: Beginning of May: listed our house and sold it in a day! Major YAY but followed by panic since we didn't have a house...

This would be the perfect side dish for any Memorial Day barbecue you may have going on this weekend. And it's packed with veggies! I really like this crunchy ramen salad because it's a good combo of sweet and savory, and it has a great crunch! Yes it uses a couple packages of ramen noodles, which are not normally something you'd find on...

I'm still alive! I took a bit of a blogging hiatus to gear up for finals and to get our house ready to list. Well, our house sold in a day and I just submitted my last final! Hallelujah!!

Happy Monday! I know it's not Taco Tuesday yet, but I'm giving you ideas a little bit early. I LOVE Taco Tuesday! When we were remodeling our kitchen, I couldn't cook for a good 2 months (Ah!!) and we became well acquainted with Taco Tuesday at our local Mexican restaurant. It's just the best concept ever. Today I have a really awesome fajita...

I have been in the need lately for some very quick, easy, healthful weeknight meals. Between class work and doing various projects to get our house ready to sell, I don't have a lot of time to cook in the evenings. With recipes like this one, we can still eat well at home quickly and don't have to resort to either take-out or...

Oh you guys, my last post was March 4...ugh. You know when you have a never-ending to do list and feel like you can't climb out of it? And then just when you can't take much more, another heap gets piled on? Well that's me right now. My school work to-do list is just ridiculous. My Passion Planner (which I love and you...

Happy Friday friends!!! Yay we made it through another week! I think this semester is going to kill me, so being one week closer to spring break is giving me a really warm, fuzzy feeling right now! Here are a few of my faves this week: 1. Books! So since my last Friday Faves post, I've completed a few more books for the...

These cookies are amazing!! I'm seriously in love with them! And bonus, they have NO flour and NO butter! You might look at the list of ingredients and think how in the world does this work? But somewhere in the chemistry of the peanut butter and oats and eggs combining, they puff and bake up like a regular chocolate chip cookie. Tip: don't...

Happy Thursday everyone! I don't know about you, but I'm pretty tired of hearing about the presidential election already....and we're still months away from the actual election. Ah! So I've decided to make my own poll here on A Pursuit of Healthy. I would love to know what you want to see more of here! So in the toolbar to the right of...

Hey everyone! So my menu planning posts have been a little lax lately and I really apologize. Our lives have been a little crazy and honestly I've planned our meals every week, but some weeks we only stuck to it about 4-5 days because we were just pulled in so many directions. Those weeks happen! This week shouldn't be any crazier than others...

This is one of those recipes you eat and you're like, how in the world is this healthy!?! It's so good! I'm just like every one else, a major macaroni and cheese lover, but it's been hard to find a healthier version that is still creamy and decadent and actually fulfills the craving. Well I found it! This recipe is a delicious combo...
