On A Content Pursuit, we’re often talking about motives behind contentment and goals. It’s more of the “why” and less of the specific “how.” This blog is a little more specific. 🙂

When it comes to goals, eating healthier is often top of the list for people. Here are a few recipes I’ve found healthy and helpful. They’re in the regular “rotation” for my household meals.

Sweet Potato Bowl

There’s a good bit of chopping veggies involved, so prepare time for that. But, this filling recipe can easily be arranged to yield two dinner servings, meaning do the prep one night and eat off of it for two days (as long as leftovers are your thing). I’ve added chicken to it before and just used the same seasonings in the recipe to season the chicken. Check out this sweet potato bowl recipe!

Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

Quick and easy! Love a good sheet pan recipe! You could swap out flour tortillas for whole wheat or low carb tortillas. Also, you could substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. I like to use red, yellow, and green peppers to make it more colorful, but any combination works. Try these chicken fajitas!

Sausage, Zucchini + Tomato Sheet Pan Dinner

Did I say I like a good sheet pan dinner?! I’ve made some variations of this for a while and love it. You can easily switch out the types of tomatoes you use and replace zucchini for squash if desired. I like to see what veggies are fresh and on hand and use them up. 

You can eat by itself or make some white or brown rice or cauliflower rice to serve on the side. Again, pretty easy to make a variation of this, knowing you won’t mess it up! Here’s a good recipe, but you can also search for similar recipes and find one that fits your taste buds. Try this sheet pan recipe!

Recipe Organization Tip

In this day and time, our go-to recipes are often floating around on the internet, not stored in kitchen cookbooks. It’s easy to lose track of where our recipes are. When I find a recipe I know will be “in the rotation,” I write it down on a recipe card and put it in a 3-ring binder. This creates my own go-to cookbook. When it’s time to meal plan for the week, I just pull down the binder and pick a few recipes. I try to do one experimental recipe each week and the rest are safe, tried and true recipes in the binder. 

Here’s a printable recipe card that can be purchased once and printed unlimited times if you want to start making your own recipe book.
