If you want to make cooking easier, the best place

If you want to make cooking easier, the best place to start is by knowing your Cooking Type. 😁 Plain and simple!! It affects all aspects of how you approach the whole cooking process (from menu planning, reading a recipe, batch cooking, cooking alongside others, to washing the endless dishes).

Some people just kind of get how to cook and they find it easy. These people have probably naturally worked out a style that suits them or been taught by someone with a similar Cooking Type so it makes sense and feels natural.

But if you're one of the MILLIONS who really struggle with cooking, then knowing your Cooking Type will really help you see the wood for the trees. It will bring you clarity and confidence as you'll start cooking in a way that makes sense to YOU!!

For example, if you're a real quick, short, sharp, get it done kind of person then Delia's recipes will be unbelievably detailed and time consuming. Likewise, if you like to know exactly how much olive oil should go in a pan, then Jamie's approach of chucking it all in will make your skin crawl.

See we are all different, and should approach the WHOLE cooking process (not just the recipes) in the way that makes sense tomus.

It will make cooking:

Easier ✅
Quicker ✅
Enjoyable ✅

Which will mean you will:

Spend more time cooking healthy delicious meals ✅
Become healthier ✅
Become happier ✅

It's all about making it easy for you! This is part ofnwhat I help people with and to be honest, it's really the best place to start. Head to the top link in my bio to download my FREE resource (no hidden costs, promise! 😁) so you can understand how to make cooking easier for yourself.

This is such a good tip as the key to being health

This is such a good tip as the key to being healthier is 💯 just showing up. 💚 Most people think you need a complete overhaul to become healthy. You don't. In fact, this is the worst mentality and get you into peaks and troughs. 🫣

And you don't have to be perfect (none of us are), but you have to show up with a healthy approach in some form.

So if it's thowing a handful of spinach into some shop brought pesto and stir it through your pasta as usual... Do it! If it's making a homemade tomato sauce instead of using a Dolmio one... Do it! If it's simply learning how to boil an egg and having it for breakfast instead of Cocopops... Do it! Like NOW!! 👍👍😁

Don't wait for perfection. You're just procrastinating. Just get on and show up every day in a simple way that makes sense to you, and you find easy, put the reps in, and pretty soon you'll start becoming and feeling healthier. 💚💚💚

Very excited to open up my discovery calls in the coming weeks so that we can see if I can help you. I've only got a few spots opening up so if being healthier is something that's always been unachievable but you're desperate to change your ways, send me a DM and I'll pop you on the top of this list so we can book a call to find out where you are at and if working together is the right fit for you. 💚💚💚

Does adventure excite you or terrify you? Does being cautious make you feel secure or make you want to break free?

Depending on who you are, and how you reply to these types of questions, will determine your personality type. If you haven't found out yours yet, it's the coolest thing. It literally changed my life. 👍

See, we are all different.

And what's even more amazing is that finding the way to cook that matches your personality type is like finding a route cause instead of sticking on a plaster to all your cooking problems.

Literally! Come with me and join me on your cooking journey to a healthier life. This whole Cooking Type malarkey thing really is the KEY that's unlocking peoples health so they can confidently cook well, eat well and ultimately, live well. Join me now by liking, sharing and following 👍🤩👉. It's so simple, so effective, and makes everything so clear! 🌻

What are the parts of cooking that you hate? We al

What are the parts of cooking that you hate? We all have them... here are mine! 🤫

1. Crumbs - Dry, soggy, big, or small. I can't stand them and they make my skin crawl.

2. Dishes - The never-ending pile of dishes. I'm very good at creating a bit of chaos in the kitchen, and I do TRY and stay on top of the dishes. But they are relentless.

3. Sorting the fridge - As a high creative yellow, I find keeping a pleasing to the eye fridge quite tough. I'm all over raw meat at the bottom etc, but because I have so many little pots of leftovers (all worth keeping) it does mean it's more a balancing act than anything else. This drives my husband mad. And then I feel bad!

What are your 3 things you hate about cooking? We all have them. Let's get them out there!! I bet you're not the only one. And they can't be as wierd as crumbs (or maybe they are!!!! 😂😂)

Because often when people say they 'hate cooking', actually what they mean is that they hate a few aspects of cooking, which then they blanket with 'I hate cooking'.

Have your family ever mentioned that your food is

Have your family ever mentioned that your food is 'samey samey'? 😠 I completely get that it's hard to think of new ideas of what to feed your family which are delicious, healthy, easy, and you'll know that they work. 🤯🤯🤯

Which is why, as part of my Cook Well, Eat Well, Live Well membership I create a monthly menu plan with links to recipes and weekly shopping lists for my members so that they don't have to think about it or hear that their food is 'samey samey' again. 🥰🥰🥰

Here's a little selection of summery dishes for August:

- Roasted carrots with fennel & feta
- Open Mediterranean tart with Boursin
- Paella
- Turmeric spatchcock chicken with yoghurt
- Frozen banana & mango yoghurt

It you'd like time and headspace freed up so that you can cook interesting food that excites you and your family without getting into that 'samey samey' rut, you can sign up today and have this menu and all the recipes at your fingertips 💛 Just head to the link in my bio and you can join straight away.

We have a whole section dedicated to brunch in the

We have a whole section dedicated to brunch in the recipe part of the Cook Well, Eat Well, Live Well membership because I believe making breakfast 'a meal' is a lovely way to start the day. And what better time to practise than the summer holidays when mornings can be a bit slower and you're still in your pj's at 10am.

I love pottering about in the kitchen with a coffee, unloading the dishwasher, folding a bit of laundry, feeding the chickens, and catching up on emails whilst cooking a batch of waffles, pancakes or muffins. Okay, poached eggs take a bit more concentration, but once you've got the hang of it you'll see it's all pretty easy and a much nicer way of easing into the morning than grabbing a Shreddies or bowl of Cheerios.

Other kinds of eggs include fried, srambled (we have alot!), boiled or bird in the nest.

I always serve a selection of fruit too on the side for people to help themselves ... try blueberries, grapes, cantaloupe melon, strawberries, pineapple, mango, kiwi, banana, pears... you name it. And sometimes some mixed nuts too. All good for the microbiome and an easy way to start the day.

Let me know if this sounds utterly daunting but you'd still like to have fun breakfasts, but you're not sure at all where to start as I'd love to help. Sometimes we just freeze when it comes to changing things up and I can nudge you along. Or check out my membership (link is in my bio) where there's ooodles of food inspo and where you'll find the section dedicated entirely to brunch.

Big love,

Annabel

☀️Do you ever give yourself time to stop and t

☀️Do you ever give yourself time to stop and think about what you'd like your life to be like? Would you be fitter? Healthier? Focus on you more? Your needs? Your desires? Your body? Where do you feel your potential might lie?

When you're stuck on the hamster wheel of life and pulled in all directions, it can be really hard to find the time (and energy) to look at what your potential really could look like. But when you start thinking, and giving yourself permission to do so, your thoughts will start to alter your feelings, and then your actions.

It's all personal so there's no one-size-fits-all answer. But the generic thing is that we are all capable of change and being on the path to reach our potential. So invite you to stop for 2 minutes today, having a cup of tea, day dreaming as you drive, or sunning yourself by the pool if your on holiday, what would reaching your potential REALLY look like for you?

Send it to me on a postcard! Or maybe just pop it in the comments 😁😁😁 Starting to get off the hamster wheel and let your brain dream like this may be the best decision you'll ever make.

And then I'm here to help you get there! Message me if you are keen to book up one if my limited 1:1 spaces in September. I can't wait to help you.

Do you struggle with your relationship with food b

Do you struggle with your relationship with food but are obsessed by your weight, bullying inner thoughts and feeling like you'll never change?

Then follow these tips and start nurturing your relationship with food. It's an important one, and you, as much as anyone else, are capable of it.

1. Ditch the scales - I know, I know, having a metric goal may appear obvious but it can do more harm than good. Instead, align yourself with your identity and WHO you want to be and your natural relationship with food will blossom. There's too many variables that effect the scales, and will they ever make you truly happy?

2. Think of food as fuel ⛽️. Everything starts with a thought, then a feeling, and finally an action. So if you see food as fuel and good food as good fuel, you'll start making healthy choices without even realising it.

3. Believe in yourself - It may sound corny but if you don't believe you can create a positive relationship then it will always be someone else's story. You are human. You need to eat. There is a relationship there. You deserve to define it so it serves you well.

If you want more tips like this, or know a friend who might need to hear this today, like, share and follow. 1:1 sessions opening in September where together we can create a positive relationship with food, for you, for life. I can't wait to help you.

You can do this!

WHAT'S YOUR INTERNAL CHATTER WHEN YOU COOK? 💛

- Is it kind? Or does it put you down?

Love waffles but want to make them healthier? Easy!

Mix together:
Oats
Chopped nuts
A banana
An egg
Splash of milk
Cinnamon
Drizzle oil

Heat the waffle machine. Et voila! No need to add any sugar. If you're gluten-free (like me) just use gluten-free oats.

Are you finding it really hard to decide what to e

Are you finding it really hard to decide what to eat when it's so hot? Keeping your body cool when you eat is super important to regulate your body temperature. So how about trying a gorgeously chilled gazpacho soup? 🍅

It's super healthy as it's blizted tomatoes, garlic, cucumber, green peppers, oil, vinegar and seasoning. You need to add something like breadcrumbs to thicken it up, but I prefer to make a normal tomato soup using red lentils to bulk it up. Once it's cooked, I blitz it in a blender with green peppers and cucumber.

These burgers are simply the best! 🤩 Super succ

These burgers are simply the best! 🤩 Super succulent, full of flavour, no nasties, and perfect for making ahead of time so they can chill in the fridge until you need them.

Makes 6

1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 kg beef mince
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 pinch ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
A few drops of tabasco
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried herbs
A large handful chopped herbs (use rosemary, thyme, sage, basil, coriander or mint)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

1. Fry off onions in oil for 10 minutes or until soft and golden.

2. Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Take off heat and leave to cool.

3. Mix mince in large bowl and add all ingredients including cooked onions and garlic.

4. Take 180g of mince and roll into a ball with your hands. Then squish down into a patty smoothing off the sides with your fingers.

5. Place on a plate and chill until needed.

6. When you're ready, preheat the bbq to hot but not burning. You should be able to hold your hand over the grill and count to 2.

7. Cook for 6 minutes on either side for medium or 8 minutes on either side for well done. Turn regularly.

8. If you want cheese, add a slice for the last 3 minutes of cooking so it melts.

Layer up the condiments, coleslaw, sweetcorn and relishes and get stuck in. Don't forget to save this recipe... it's SO GOOD!!

Do you find yourself wondering whether to buy beef

Do you find yourself wondering whether to buy beef, cherry, salad, vine, mixed or plum tomatoes? 🍅

Here's the download:

🍅 Beef - slice for Caprese salads or stuff with vegetables and rice.

🍅 Cherry - Roast, snack, picnics, halve in salads, pasta sauces etc.

🍅 Salad - Halve and roast for tomato soups and sauces. Chop for salads.

🍅 Vine - All tomatoes grow on a vine so this is a bit of a marketing ploy! They smell nicer. And you can roast them on the vine. Otherwise you'd always remove it before cooking/eating. Unless I've missed something?!

🍅 Mixed - Nice at this time of year when in season. Add colour to your meal.

🍅 Plum - taste and use like cherry tomatoes.

My solution to tomato buying overwhelm is to go with what you know and like. Personally, I don't think we need this much choice. Some will always check the price/kg for the cheapest. Other's might always go for luxury. You do you.

There's no right or wrong.

Hope that helps! Share if you know anyone who finds it hard to make food decisions.

Oh, and there's also different ways to chop and slice tomatoes which I share in my membership for just £24.99/month. 💕🍅💕 head to the link in my bio to find out more.

Looking to get more of your 30 plants a week in? Or simply want to change up your sandwiches and crisps for lunch?

Get that goodness in! This salad takes less than 3 minutes.

Yassssss!!!! 👏👏👏👏 LESS THAN 3 minutes!! 💕💕💕

Okay, I did have leftover rice and lentils but you can either use packaged ones for a super quick lunch, or cook some up and use them for lunch for a day or two.

This could easily be prepared in the morning. Just keep the dressings separate until your ready to eat it 💛

As always, let me know how you go!

Do you want a super healthy summer breakfast? So m

Do you want a super healthy summer breakfast? So many cereals are filled hidden sugar and salt even though they look healthy, they might not be. It's what makes them taste so good... even a healthy looking granola/muesli. Always read the label!

To combat this and have a delicious bowl of cereal every morning, try making your own. No need to soak oats overnight... just pour them straight into your bowl. Add whatever fruit is in season. And whatever seeds you have. I chop nuts in a food processor as it makes them go further, but equally they are yummy whole. Then add milk/oat milk/yoghurt.

Let me know how you go!

And yes, there's been LOTS of cartwheeling action at DizzleSky HQ this week! 🤸🏼🤸🏼🤸🏼

Look at that eye! 👀 🐟

People often ask me about cooking fish, buying fish and eating fish. If you're scared of buying fresh fish, ask lots of questions and look at how fresh, clear and bright their eyes and skin are.

This eye was staring right back at me. This is a good sign!

Although I didn't buy it. I went in for fresh lobster 🦞 which we're having at Bantham tonight. 😜
