💚 Easy and quick food inspiration from the Kitchen Club Membership today... rice, lentil and quinoa with cavolo nero and beans.

Have you thought about adding lentils and quinoa to your rice? It adds to the texture to the dish and both are excellent forms protein and fibre.

I'm off social media on weekends, for my mental health, so I'm catching up with World Mental Health Day today. 🌎

And what amazing stories and words of wisdom have been on these squares. It's been incredible and just goes to show the positive power that it can have.

So my take on mental health is that it's equally important as physical health. As every thing we do, every action we take... all begins in the mind.

I strongly believe in uniqueness. I don't think there is enough (or any in my case) taught in school about perspective. About how we ALL see the world jn our own way. We ALL have different values. We ALL have different strengths. We ALL have different belief systems. We ALL have different backgrounds, stories and responses.

And think closer to home on this one. It's not just to do with race or sexuality or the bigger topics. Even amongst friends, family (especially family!! 💚) and colleagues we ALL come at things from our own perspective.

We need to learn to listen so we can understand, rather than talk so we can tell.

The saying goes that God gave us two ears and one mouth so we can listen more than we can talk. I 💖 this visual... so here's to all of your uniqueness and understanding yours and others perspective.

Talking about picky eaters 😨. Feeding our child

Talking about picky eaters 😨. Feeding our children can feel soooo hard, and we are all in it together. Children have their own unique background story and food is really their choice as to whether they want to eat it... or not.

I have a picky eater and I am really thankful for him being picky as otherwise I might hop on here and be all, you need to feed them lentils and wholesome food all of the time. But I'm not because I get it. And I care that it might be really hard for you as their Mum, and I care that we need to explore these emotions and barriers as it really truly does make things better.

Sometimes it's just a conversation we need and knowing that someone 'gets it.'

Inspired by @annamathur and @mother_pukka here's t

Inspired by @annamathur and @mother_pukka here's the reality of family meals. Our minds as parents are usually on 1,000 other things. We are present but are we 'present'?

In our house hold, I feel grateful that the laughter comes quickly but the fighting and mean words between the kids come just as quickly if not quicker.

I find myself cajoling the children into eating last mouthfuls when they are perfectly old enough to know when they want to stop. But sometimes it's just boredom for them (and for me).

This is what real life is like. Remember that these squares (or the lack of them last night 😂) paint only the tinsiest picture of what's going on behind closed doors. As do the person we put out to the world. We all have our own worlds behind our eyes, and we all see things from different view points.

Share some stories from your family table and let's open up the conversations from behind the scenes.

What's important about learning something new?. St

What's important about learning something new?. Staring anything new can be daunting, scary, fun, nauseating, frustrating, liberating, empowering... but we can't experience any of those feelings or move forward unless we actually get in there and do it.

Cooking well for our families can be all of the above. I've felt all those emotions at some point in the kitchen and definitely now that I'm learning to surf. But unless we 'JUST DO IT' as Nike says, we won't know. And what's the best that can happen? We make a meal. Everyone is fed. Everyone is fuelled. You have succeeded.

It doesn't have to be perfect. And surfing a wave, each meal you make will be different (even if it's the same recipe). So just give it a go. Learn to cook well while I'm learning to surf and lean into some of those positive emotions too. 💛

Happy Friday x

Bouillabaisse (pronounced boo-ya-base) aka fish so

Bouillabaisse (pronounced boo-ya-base) aka fish soup 🐟... ever tried it? You might be thinking it's grand and exotic but actually it's more like a provincial rustic soup, and a great way to eat loads of veggies and fish AND tastes yummo.

It's a good one for those creative yellows amongst you.

Step out of your comfort zone and give it a go. 💕

Basically tomato soup made from onions, garlic, fennel, carrot and tomatoes. Add fish and mussels in at the end to poach it.

Then lots of Parmesan 😜

Have fun making it.

You know when something comes along and it resonat

You know when something comes along and it resonates... deeply. And it feels really wierd because it's kind of just appeared. From nowhere. As if it's fallen right in front of you and suddenly you've tripped over it, and you are so excited and grateful that it's appeared. This is how I feel about Psychotherapist @annamathur.

Anna shows the real side of Motherhood. The side, for example, that I so often say to clients, that cooking for your family is really tough isn't it?? Because actually, it's not easy as in magic-easy. And it IS a chore as it does have to get done as feeding our families is a basic human need. And that is okay. It's how we can adapt our perspective on it and make it more natural for us that makes it more enjoyable. We still have to decide what everyone's going to eat. We still have to food shop. We still have to put the food away. But we can learn to make it easier for ourselves. Like a tiny reframe of 'I get to feed my family well' instead of 'I've got to feed my family well'.

And that's what I'm loving learning about @annamathur 's work. That she is honest about the bloody hard time of juggling (note it's a verb not a destination) motherhood. And about stepping back and finding those pockets of 'me' time. Of finding gratitude in the messy every day (I can definitely relate to this 💕)

And so I'm super pumped to speak with her tomorrow and share my 10 minutes of 'if I could tell you one thing... brief thoughts on a happier motherhood' ahead of speaking in the new @themothermindway membership next month. I'm currently tucked up in bed with a stinking cold (that's reality at it's best right 😜) going through ALLL the 'one things'... and they do all seem to come back to one thing. And that's what I'm going to share with you tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰

As Mum's we so often forget about ourselves. But f

As Mum's we so often forget about ourselves. But finding those trinkets of time in the day/week/month/year to just 'be' are what ground us and keep us going.

Whether it's remembering to feed ourselves well (not just our families), remembering to get outdoors and get our bodies moving (not just watching our kids from the sideline) or finding whatever gives you that 'being me' time, give yourself permission to do it.

This morning, as I lay in bed at 5:30am thinking about all the work I had to do today, the house I had to clean, the presents I had to send (one was due on the 10th September!! Yikes!!), and the food I had to buy, if it wasn't for having a group of gorgeous girls waiting at the beach for me this morning for our Friday surf 🏄‍♀️, I so would have cracked on and felt that I SHOULD do all the things on that do to list. Instead I found myself here.

Getting in the water, bobbing around, catching the occasional wave and having a natter was the best thing I COULD have done. Allowing me to be me.

So think next time when you use the word 'should'.

Could you replace it with could? It's softer and kinder and it might mean that you actually go and do it.

What's your favourite 'me' thing atm? Xx

Happy Friday ☀️

I get super cross 😡 when I see pretty templates

I get super cross 😡 when I see pretty templates online for menu plans to infinity and beyond.

Because creating a menu plan is an awesome idea. It helps save head space. It means you can shop in advance. It makes you feel 'on it'.

So surely we should go all guns blazing and plan for the next 21 days?

Unfortunately this just doesn't work, and you'll find yourself within 5 days skipping planned meals and feeling like a failure!!! Noooooo!!!!! 😱

The way to nail it is to:

1. Work out how many days you feel happy (and I mean deep down happy not what your friend does happy) planning for. This might be one, three, five, seven, fourteen. Who knows? It's up to you what you are comfortable with.

2. Then work out what you've got planned for those days. Swimming lessons in the evening? Late pick up? Taxi-ing around children? All of these will have an impact on how much time you have to cook. So plan accordingly.

3. Giving yourself permission to have flexi-nights allows you the freedom to flex. To stay agile. And this my friends is a very helpful way to feel like you are achieving. These are the days when you can just see what happens, go with the flow, or use up last nights leftovers.

4. Think about variety in your core ingredients. For example, if you like mince don't have bolognaise, chilli and lasagne three nights in a row. Use your freezer if you have leftovers and intersperse heavier meals with lighter ones.

I hope that helps you to not feel like you have to be restricted to a 'perfect' 21 day menu plan. Coz that just ain't gonna work!!! 😜

VERY upclose and personal Friday hello vibes👋..

VERY upclose and personal Friday hello vibes👋... feeling exhilarated for two reasons...

1. Because I just spent an hour in the glorious Autumn sunshine surfing 🏄‍♀️ with 3 beautiful ladies. Booya! That was fun.

2. I had just coined the phrase Positive Snacking Stacking whilst in the surf. When I'm in nature my creative brain explodes and today I drove back home still in wetsuit repeating the words again and again and again.

The best thing (I think) is that the acronym is Psst... so whenever you are heading for that after lunch/afternoon/after dinner snack that you are trying to kick, just remember Psst and let it stop you in your tracks. ✋

A snapshot of what it means is that you create a diversion mid-habit and pre-empt what you would normally go for.

So if it's a bag of haribos in the car on the way to pick up the kids, then you pop an apple in the car in the morning instead, therefore stacking on a healthy snack to driving in the car.

Or if it's a Dairy Milk bar after dinner in your favourite chair after dinner, sit in a different chair and have a herbal tea instead, therefore stacking on a better choice whilst still getting to watch TV.

These tiny changes seen in a positive way can make a HUGE difference to the big picture and make you feel empowered, in control and in the driving seat of your health instead of overwhelmed, deprived and in a rut.

I've just written a full version of this in my weekly newsletter so if you'd like to know more about healthy snacking habits, DM me with your email address and I'll pop you on the list. Have a fab weekend 🌟

Sending these aprons out to new Kitchen Clubbers i

Sending these aprons out to new Kitchen Clubbers in my membership literally makes my heart sing 💛 🎶 .

Running an online business felt weird at first as everything I have done before has been IRL, cooking for clients and being able to share the food with them in the moment.

But then I realised that I was always cooking for THEM and I wanted to empower them to be doing the cooking and feeling the same satisfaction, little wins and kitchen confidence that we are all capable of.

I ummed and arghed (such a great phrase... always can hear my Mum saying that 😂) for SO long about whether I should send something out to new members or not. I listened to my intuition which was screaming yesssssss and I am so so pleased I did.

To me, they symbolise real-life connection , being part of a (dare I say it) 'tribe' all on the same mission to cook well, eat well and live well and also as a cape so that when a member is wearing it, they feel like a badass in the kitchen.

I love this quote 💕💕💕 Confidence can seem

I love this quote 💕💕💕 Confidence can seem like a cloud... out of reach and owned by someone else. But before confidence we have to summon courage to make a change or start something new.

Courage seems so much more achievable. It's like taking a foot forwards and knowing that you won't fall over. Confidence then comes with practice and repetition.

So today I'm telling you that you too can be confident with your cooking. All you need is to summon courage first and I know you've got that in you.

I've got your back 💕💕💕

The easiest way to eat healthfully is to ask yours

The easiest way to eat healthfully is to ask yourself 'is what I'm about to put in my mouth going to benefit my body and mind?'

I'm not a nutritional therapist or a dietitian, (there are amazing ones out there such as @naturedockids @katedimmernutrition @zoekirbynutrition) who can give you the breakdown of exactly what foods benefit your body scientifically.

Instead, as a coach and chef, I am here to help you change your habits and behaviours to make cooking and eating healthful food effortless.

And this little tip here is one of the simplest you can use. Use your common sense, read the food labels and start being curious about what you are putting into your mouth.

💚 Easy and quick food inspiration from the Kitchen Club Membership today... rice, lentil and quinoa with cavolo nero and beans.

Have you thought about adding lentils and quinoa to your rice? It adds to the texture to the dish and both are excellent forms protein and fibre.

I'm off social media on weekends, for my mental he

I'm off social media on weekends, for my mental health, so I'm catching up with World Mental Health Day today. 🌎

And what amazing stories and words of wisdom have been on these squares. It's been incredible and just goes to show the positive power that it can have.

So my take on mental health is that it's equally important as physical health. As every thing we do, every action we take... all begins in the mind.

I strongly believe in uniqueness. I don't think there is enough (or any in my case) taught in school about perspective. About how we ALL see the world jn our own way. We ALL have different values. We ALL have different strengths. We ALL have different belief systems. We ALL have different backgrounds, stories and responses.

And think closer to home on this one. It's not just to do with race or sexuality or the bigger topics. Even amongst friends, family (especially family!! 💚) and colleagues we ALL come at things from our own perspective.

We need to learn to listen so we can understand, rather than talk so we can tell.

The saying goes that God gave us two ears and one mouth so we can listen more than we can talk. I 💖 this visual... so here's to all of your uniqueness and understanding yours and others perspective.

Talking about picky eaters 😨. Feeding our child

Talking about picky eaters 😨. Feeding our children can feel soooo hard, and we are all in it together. Children have their own unique background story and food is really their choice as to whether they want to eat it... or not.

I have a picky eater and I am really thankful for him being picky as otherwise I might hop on here and be all, you need to feed them lentils and wholesome food all of the time. But I'm not because I get it. And I care that it might be really hard for you as their Mum, and I care that we need to explore these emotions and barriers as it really truly does make things better.

Sometimes it's just a conversation we need and knowing that someone 'gets it.'

Inspired by @annamathur and @mother_pukka here's t

Inspired by @annamathur and @mother_pukka here's the reality of family meals. Our minds as parents are usually on 1,000 other things. We are present but are we 'present'?

In our house hold, I feel grateful that the laughter comes quickly but the fighting and mean words between the kids come just as quickly if not quicker.

I find myself cajoling the children into eating last mouthfuls when they are perfectly old enough to know when they want to stop. But sometimes it's just boredom for them (and for me).

This is what real life is like. Remember that these squares (or the lack of them last night 😂) paint only the tinsiest picture of what's going on behind closed doors. As do the person we put out to the world. We all have our own worlds behind our eyes, and we all see things from different view points.

Share some stories from your family table and let's open up the conversations from behind the scenes.

What's important about learning something new?. St

What's important about learning something new?. Staring anything new can be daunting, scary, fun, nauseating, frustrating, liberating, empowering... but we can't experience any of those feelings or move forward unless we actually get in there and do it.

Cooking well for our families can be all of the above. I've felt all those emotions at some point in the kitchen and definitely now that I'm learning to surf. But unless we 'JUST DO IT' as Nike says, we won't know. And what's the best that can happen? We make a meal. Everyone is fed. Everyone is fuelled. You have succeeded.

It doesn't have to be perfect. And surfing a wave, each meal you make will be different (even if it's the same recipe). So just give it a go. Learn to cook well while I'm learning to surf and lean into some of those positive emotions too. 💛

Happy Friday x

Bouillabaisse (pronounced boo-ya-base) aka fish so

Bouillabaisse (pronounced boo-ya-base) aka fish soup 🐟... ever tried it? You might be thinking it's grand and exotic but actually it's more like a provincial rustic soup, and a great way to eat loads of veggies and fish AND tastes yummo.

It's a good one for those creative yellows amongst you.

Step out of your comfort zone and give it a go. 💕

Basically tomato soup made from onions, garlic, fennel, carrot and tomatoes. Add fish and mussels in at the end to poach it.

Then lots of Parmesan 😜

Have fun making it.

You know when something comes along and it resonat

You know when something comes along and it resonates... deeply. And it feels really wierd because it's kind of just appeared. From nowhere. As if it's fallen right in front of you and suddenly you've tripped over it, and you are so excited and grateful that it's appeared. This is how I feel about Psychotherapist @annamathur.

Anna shows the real side of Motherhood. The side, for example, that I so often say to clients, that cooking for your family is really tough isn't it?? Because actually, it's not easy as in magic-easy. And it IS a chore as it does have to get done as feeding our families is a basic human need. And that is okay. It's how we can adapt our perspective on it and make it more natural for us that makes it more enjoyable. We still have to decide what everyone's going to eat. We still have to food shop. We still have to put the food away. But we can learn to make it easier for ourselves. Like a tiny reframe of 'I get to feed my family well' instead of 'I've got to feed my family well'.

And that's what I'm loving learning about @annamathur 's work. That she is honest about the bloody hard time of juggling (note it's a verb not a destination) motherhood. And about stepping back and finding those pockets of 'me' time. Of finding gratitude in the messy every day (I can definitely relate to this 💕)

And so I'm super pumped to speak with her tomorrow and share my 10 minutes of 'if I could tell you one thing... brief thoughts on a happier motherhood' ahead of speaking in the new @themothermindway membership next month. I'm currently tucked up in bed with a stinking cold (that's reality at it's best right 😜) going through ALLL the 'one things'... and they do all seem to come back to one thing. And that's what I'm going to share with you tomorrow 🥰🥰🥰

As Mum's we so often forget about ourselves. But f

As Mum's we so often forget about ourselves. But finding those trinkets of time in the day/week/month/year to just 'be' are what ground us and keep us going.

Whether it's remembering to feed ourselves well (not just our families), remembering to get outdoors and get our bodies moving (not just watching our kids from the sideline) or finding whatever gives you that 'being me' time, give yourself permission to do it.

This morning, as I lay in bed at 5:30am thinking about all the work I had to do today, the house I had to clean, the presents I had to send (one was due on the 10th September!! Yikes!!), and the food I had to buy, if it wasn't for having a group of gorgeous girls waiting at the beach for me this morning for our Friday surf 🏄‍♀️, I so would have cracked on and felt that I SHOULD do all the things on that do to list. Instead I found myself here.

Getting in the water, bobbing around, catching the occasional wave and having a natter was the best thing I COULD have done. Allowing me to be me.

So think next time when you use the word 'should'.

Could you replace it with could? It's softer and kinder and it might mean that you actually go and do it.

What's your favourite 'me' thing atm? Xx

Happy Friday ☀️

I get super cross 😡 when I see pretty templates

I get super cross 😡 when I see pretty templates online for menu plans to infinity and beyond.

Because creating a menu plan is an awesome idea. It helps save head space. It means you can shop in advance. It makes you feel 'on it'.

So surely we should go all guns blazing and plan for the next 21 days?

Unfortunately this just doesn't work, and you'll find yourself within 5 days skipping planned meals and feeling like a failure!!! Noooooo!!!!! 😱

The way to nail it is to:

1. Work out how many days you feel happy (and I mean deep down happy not what your friend does happy) planning for. This might be one, three, five, seven, fourteen. Who knows? It's up to you what you are comfortable with.

2. Then work out what you've got planned for those days. Swimming lessons in the evening? Late pick up? Taxi-ing around children? All of these will have an impact on how much time you have to cook. So plan accordingly.

3. Giving yourself permission to have flexi-nights allows you the freedom to flex. To stay agile. And this my friends is a very helpful way to feel like you are achieving. These are the days when you can just see what happens, go with the flow, or use up last nights leftovers.

4. Think about variety in your core ingredients. For example, if you like mince don't have bolognaise, chilli and lasagne three nights in a row. Use your freezer if you have leftovers and intersperse heavier meals with lighter ones.

I hope that helps you to not feel like you have to be restricted to a 'perfect' 21 day menu plan. Coz that just ain't gonna work!!! 😜

VERY upclose and personal Friday hello vibes👋..

VERY upclose and personal Friday hello vibes👋... feeling exhilarated for two reasons...

1. Because I just spent an hour in the glorious Autumn sunshine surfing 🏄‍♀️ with 3 beautiful ladies. Booya! That was fun.

2. I had just coined the phrase Positive Snacking Stacking whilst in the surf. When I'm in nature my creative brain explodes and today I drove back home still in wetsuit repeating the words again and again and again.

The best thing (I think) is that the acronym is Psst... so whenever you are heading for that after lunch/afternoon/after dinner snack that you are trying to kick, just remember Psst and let it stop you in your tracks. ✋

A snapshot of what it means is that you create a diversion mid-habit and pre-empt what you would normally go for.

So if it's a bag of haribos in the car on the way to pick up the kids, then you pop an apple in the car in the morning instead, therefore stacking on a healthy snack to driving in the car.

Or if it's a Dairy Milk bar after dinner in your favourite chair after dinner, sit in a different chair and have a herbal tea instead, therefore stacking on a better choice whilst still getting to watch TV.

These tiny changes seen in a positive way can make a HUGE difference to the big picture and make you feel empowered, in control and in the driving seat of your health instead of overwhelmed, deprived and in a rut.

I've just written a full version of this in my weekly newsletter so if you'd like to know more about healthy snacking habits, DM me with your email address and I'll pop you on the list. Have a fab weekend 🌟

Sending these aprons out to new Kitchen Clubbers i

Sending these aprons out to new Kitchen Clubbers in my membership literally makes my heart sing 💛 🎶 .

Running an online business felt weird at first as everything I have done before has been IRL, cooking for clients and being able to share the food with them in the moment.

But then I realised that I was always cooking for THEM and I wanted to empower them to be doing the cooking and feeling the same satisfaction, little wins and kitchen confidence that we are all capable of.

I ummed and arghed (such a great phrase... always can hear my Mum saying that 😂) for SO long about whether I should send something out to new members or not. I listened to my intuition which was screaming yesssssss and I am so so pleased I did.

To me, they symbolise real-life connection , being part of a (dare I say it) 'tribe' all on the same mission to cook well, eat well and live well and also as a cape so that when a member is wearing it, they feel like a badass in the kitchen.

I love this quote 💕💕💕 Confidence can seem like a cloud... out of reach and owned by someone else. But before confidence we have to summon courage to make a change or start something new.

Courage seems so much more achievable. It's like taking a foot forwards and knowing that you won't fall over. Confidence then comes with practice and repetition.

So today I'm telling you that you too can be confident with your cooking. All you need is to summon courage first and I know you've got that in you.

I've got your back 💕💕💕

The easiest way to eat healthfully is to ask yours

The easiest way to eat healthfully is to ask yourself 'is what I'm about to put in my mouth going to benefit my body and mind?'

I'm not a nutritional therapist or a dietitian, (there are amazing ones out there such as @naturedockids @katedimmernutrition @zoekirbynutrition) who can give you the breakdown of exactly what foods benefit your body scientifically.

Instead, as a coach and chef, I am here to help you change your habits and behaviours to make cooking and eating healthful food effortless.

And this little tip here is one of the simplest you can use. Use your common sense, read the food labels and start being curious about what you are putting into your mouth.

Leftover lunch 🥗, much needed fuel ⛽️ after

Leftover lunch 🥗, much needed fuel ⛽️ after an awesome surf this morning 🏄‍♀️

🌊 It just goes to show that chasing your goals, and actioning baby steps to make them happen does pay off! This Devon dream of replacing skiing with surfing happened this morning. And damn it felt good!

🌊 I definitely took in the moment and am 💯 grateful to be able to drop the kids off at school and then surf.

🌊 To me, being in nature is fundamental to making me feel 'me' and be in a good state of mind.

🌊 These roasted vegetables (sweet potatoes, aubergines, courgettes, mushrooms and tomatoes) have been on the go since Monday. Reheated in the microwave, added some blitzed up chickpeas, 1/2 green pepper, 2 dollops Greek Yoghurt, sesame seed oil, lemon juice 🍋, peanut butter and salt and blitzed it in the @nutribullet .

🌊 Boiled 2 eggs and had with another dollop of Greek Yoghurt and even bigger dollop of @belazu_co pesto.

If you'd like more throw it together, healthful recipes like these, then let me know and we can discuss if the Kitchen Club membership might be right for you.

Sometimes words jump off a page and hit you in the face 🤣. I love it when I hear people say, 'oh my goodness, that is SO me!!'

And I love the strengths versus the potential weaknesses with a green Cooking Type, as they can be incredibly confusing traits if you haven't acknowledged them. They are also incredibly normal which can be really comforting to know 😀.

Tag someone who you think has a green Cooking Type and see if they agree.

Happy Bank Holiday folks! ☀️This is what I plan to be doing... The reality is that there will be 3 children, a husband, a dog and 11 chickens lurking in the background needing to be fed, but for now let's just indulge in time just to be.

Helloooo 👋... thank you so much if you've just

Helloooo 👋... thank you so much if you've just started following me and if you've followed me for a while, hello again! 👋

I'm Annabel Gonifas, coach and chef on a mission to make your cooking as effortless, nutritious and tasty as possible so that you can cook well, eat well and live well💕

Because somehow (and I totally get it as I have 3 small kids and a busy household), cooking has become a chore. And as feeding ourselves and our families is one of our primal human needs, I'm here to help make it easier for you! ✨

My aim in life is to breakdown cooking psychology for you, because really everything we do, every choice we have and every habit we make stems from our mind and this is the barrier to eating better.

So much of what we hear is about when we talk about healthy food/eating (*side note, I call it 'healthful') is around WHAT we eat. Which is great (though often confusing and contradictory)...

But how do we actually get it into our houses, onto our plates and into our mouths? Cooking is the PROCESS that gets food into bodies and unless we know how to make this as effortless as possible for us personally, then we are really banging our heads against a brick wall.

So on these squares I hope to add value to your cooking by:

💥 Getting you to understand how we all cook differently
💥 Top tips on how to make your food as effortless, tasty and nutritious as possible
💥 Knowledge around suppliers and where food comes from at its source
💥Simple mindset tips on how to help your cooking and healthy food choices
💥Nutritional FACTS forwarded on from the experts in the field of nutrition and food
💥Bringing the whole thing back to basics (we are human, we need to eat to survive and thrive, we need to cook to make that happen)
💥The odd South Devon sunset and coastal view as it's too beautiful not to share!

If you want to know more right now about how to get your food as lip smackingly tasty as possible, head to the link in my bio for my insights on how to season perfectly everytime 💕

It's 💯 lovely to have you here, I wish I could invite you in for a cup of tea and a natter but instead we can chat here ☺️

Bored of what to cook? Don't forget about casserol

Bored of what to cook? Don't forget about casseroles in the summer 💥

If you and your family is feeling like you are:
💥 Not having enough vegetables
💥Need something filling
💥Want something hearty
💥Are bored of bbq's and picnics
💥Are looking for something for the freezer

Don't forget about a casserole, even in summer. ☀️ I cooked this sausage, carrot & paprika casserole yesterday. Just the sense of calmness that cooking a casserole brings makes it worth it. In the iven. Forget about it. And then utterly delightful to eat.

What food ticks all the above boxes for you?

🌶 Be bold with your spices! Spices are great for our bodies and our cooking. 🌶

Whether it's using garlic, chilli, ginger, star anise, cardamon, coriander, turmeric, paprika, fennel or cinnamon, add in 20% more than you are comfortable adding when you start cooking your meal.

Then at the end, add fresh herbs, check for salt and squeeze in some lemon 🍋 if it needs it.

If you want more handy hints for cooking with spices then I've added them into a free checklist for you. Simply click on the top link in my bio to get yours ✨

Do you cook like your Mum, Dad, husband, wife, partner, friend or colleague?

Have you been into the utensils drawer at a friends house and gawped at it's messiness?

Or do you get so frustrated by them as they tell you to just add a bit of this and that, when really you feel the need to follow a recipe.

This is because we are all different. We are all unique. And this should be celebrated!

Tag a friend if this has happened to you!

Add that goodness in whenever you can. It's what'll keep you on that healthy eating wagon.

Okay, pastry isn't great for you, but it does taste fab (it's all balance right...) But what is in this little bundle of goodness 💛 is quinoa, teeny weeny chopped up carrots, fennel and celery, chives, ground fennel and cumin seeds, skinned salmon, lemon juice and a layer of spinach. 🌿Then topped with poppy, sunflower and pumpkin seeds.

👩🏼‍🍳If you're making salmon en croute, there's no need to cook the salmon first as the pastry will steam it.

👩🏼‍🍳👩🏼‍🍳 You can also use gluten-free pastry for this.

👩🏼‍🍳👩🏼‍🍳👩🏼‍🍳This photo was pre-cook. It's ready after 35 minutes at 180 degree or golden brown and crispeeeeee!!
