Spells from the Magic Initiate feat can't be prepared unless the character has a normal means of getting it, i.e. a Wizard takes Magic Initiate and gains a level 1 Wizard spell. That character can now prepare that spell because they normally can have access to it. Clerics and Goodberry, though, don't work like that.

Multiclassing could solve it, but then I'd probably go into either Bard/Cleric, Druid/Cleric or Ranger/Cleric. Each come with their own sets of problems, though.

Most D&D runs have generous healing opprotunities, and the Healer feat is always another option, I think.

As for the feat that grants Dash as a bonus action, I'd stand against it. It's something that Assassin Rouges get as a perk for picking that path, and Expeditious Retreat lets others do that when cast. Giving it away as a feat is quite broken, if you ask me.
