Welcome to my world!

Hi, I'm Annabel Bateman and this is my world (well a large part of it!)

What Annabel Cooks is a lot more more than what I cook. It's about helping you (& me) feel WELL through food, essential oils and lifestyle. I believe that many of us don't know that we don't feel well (or as well as we could) and I'm on a mission for us all to feel well in all the different forms wellness can take!

My holistic approach to health and wellness comes from the way I manage my personal health & my Hashimoto's.

I cook gluten & grain free, paleo style food so I have good gut health. I hope you enjoy my recipes and thoughts on health & wellness.

I LOVE using doTERRA essential oils to support the base line of health for myself and my family and have been enjoying the impacts of using essential oils as part of my thyroid health management.

Here’s to feeling WELL!

Gluten Free ANZAC Slice

gf anzac slice

Here is a a slightly different version of my Gluten Free ANZAC Biscuits recipe that I shared a few years ago. This one uses almond meal and puffed millet and as a slice. You could use oats (although oats aren’t GF) or puffed rice, it’s just that this is what I had in my pantry. I’m always swapping and trialling different ingredients in recipes… some work and some don’t!

The end result was quite crumbly. Best kept in the fridge where the butter can set and hold it all together a bit better!

Granola Clusters – Cinnamon & Ginger Flavoured.

Do you ever spend a lot of money ona speciality food item so that you can try to replicate it? Or is that just me? Well, I did with these. I spent $25 on a bag of paleo granola clusters and they were amazing, but at $25 that’s not going to be a regular spend…

I joined the gym!

Today I joined the gym. For a whole year! It’s been many years (I think about 5-6) since I’ve been a member in a gym. Historically I have loved the gym. I’ve liked the challenge, the accountability, the commitment, the community. Today though I feel somewhat scared about getting back into a gym routine, however…
