✨ a little about me ✨
I'm Katie, I live in the UK with my husband Jon and our 3 children aged 11, 8 and 5. I love photography, videography, generally being creative, and being outside whenever I can. We also love to travel, the last couple of years have obviously put a stop to that a little, but we are hoping to travel lots more in the future. I've been online for nearly 11 years, which is just crazy, and I am really proud of the lovely community I have built up on here and Instagram.

I love food videos, I think we all lack inspiration at times. I haven’t seen the cookbooks either. I completely relate to feeling it’s time to make changes. I’m trying to make my goals about feeling better and not make numbers my goal (rather a side effect of my efforts). I’m also trying just to do tiny things so it’s not a huge effort and no excuse there’s no time. We’ve done dry Jan which is a good start. Ive exfoliated & moisturised my body nearly everyday which I see as a win. I’ve been writing my gratitude down each day and listening to a podcast each week. I’ve got some hand weights downstairs and do a few arm exercises each day and try and do 5 mins dance/aerobics whilst food is cooking 😆 Since my daughter started secondary school and I no longer doing school run (4 miles a day) my daily step count has dramatically dropped, apart from a few months before Xmas I haven’t done my weekly yoga, Pilates & classes I used to do. Good luck in your Heath journey x

[@katie_ellison]

Hi Tracey thanks for a lovely comment. Good luck on your health journey too. I am also trying to make my goals more about feeling better than numbers. Physically and mentally. I’ve also been writing in a journal, mine is more of a well-being journal but it has a gratitude section. I think that’s a great idea. I really have just let my physical and mental health slowly get more and more sluggish over the last couple of years. I know it’s a bit of a new year new you cliche but I needed something to kickstart me as I wasn’t ready before, and I’m glad for January and the new year as it’s definitely motivated me, even if it is a cliche. Good luck with yours. X

New Years resolutions aren’t my thing, I heard someone say ‘2022 intensions’ which I though sounded better. I find after all the festive food/drink/late nights etc I’m craving routine, organisation and nutritious food etc I’ve got a huge box from Hotel Chocolate & a time of shortbread I’m avoiding opening 😆 I’m trying to prioritise mental health too and think most activities help both mental & physical health (eg sleep, nutrition, movement). Really want to do a bit of meditation but i’m just getting around to it. I have the Calm App so just need to fit it into my day. Staying in a lodge with hot tub at half term so hoping I will get back into reading. Enjoy the rest of your weekend x

[@soooofetch]

I always roast my sweet potato before adding to the chilli. 👍🏻

[@MelissaMiller123]

These looked amazing! 🤩 Xx

[@tracyalberts2330]

Yes love your recipe videos! Feeling inspired thank you xx

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks so much Tracy I’m glad you enjoyed it x

[@lifewithkayleyphoenix]

Really enjoyed this video. Iv ordered the book. I always get dinner plan block so hopefully this will help with some new yummy ideas x

[@gregsgirl23au]

Thank you Katie I'm looking forward to trying these recipes. I hope we can see more of these videos they are so helpful 😊...also with the sweet potato chilli how much sweet potato did you use please?

[@BethJK]

Really enjoyed this Katie! Your food videos were always facourites of mine. Would love to see some grocery hauls and what you eat in a weekend if weeknights are too hectic x

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks lovely I could definitely do some grocery hauls and some more what we eat videos. X

[@Arts13579]

Love this. Would love more food related videos like what I eat in a day, exercise. Thanks for the motivation x

[@katie_ellison]

Thank you I can definitely make some more videos like that. 🥰

[@OMGitsaClaire]

Being rushed and/or tired while trying to make healthy food choices is really tough. I’ve found one way to set myself up for success is to batch cook a big batch of a healthy soup and freeze it in individual portions for later. Then, I can just heat it up on the stove or in the microwave, put some salad on the side, and a healthy meal is easier and faster than going through a drive through.

[@katie_ellison]

That's such a good idea! I am really trying to batch cook more as it helps me so much when the kids are playing football in the evenings or out at clubs! x

[@pinkgghello]

Hi Katie, great video! I’m going to make all 3 of these meals for our dinners this week, currently meal planning and doing the shopping list for them. Thank you for sharing. I’m on week 3 of a diet and am already struggling for meal ideas but can’t wait to try these! Take care! Nicola xx

[@katie_ellison]

I can’t wait to hear how what you think of them Nicola! Let me know. 🥰🥰🥰

[@lovelysarah367]

Thank you for the inspiration, lovely ideas xxx

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Sarah glad you enjoyed it x

[@marllyburnett4433]

Oh Katie, your description of the trampoline class idea was so funny! I do hope it went well. I am trying to be healthier too but I have huge lapses of kit Kat moments! Oh well! Thanks for your vids, so great to watch. x Yes Please... more videos on health and all things motivational, it really helps share the effort! x

[@katie_ellison]

I actually really enjoyed it, although I was terrible at it. I agree I get motivated hearing about others too. X

[@jacquelinekinnaird6994]

Really enjoy these videos Katie! I’m exactly the same really want to try and be a bit healthier this year.

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Jacqueline! It’s just small little changes for me, but so far so good! X

[@aartic8029]

Really enjoyed this. More please!

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks so much I am glad you enjoyed it! x

[@ibs4477]

I miss your what you eat in in a week videos! I loved this food video! x

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks so much 🥰

[@hertsmumma7150]

Love this video and love pinch of nom recipes too, though I haven’t tried the comfort food book though. Like you, I’m also trying to take better care of myself, it’s amazing how quickly you feel the benefits. Thanks Katie xx

[@katie_ellison]

You really do! I haven’t drunk enough water today as I’ve been rushing around, and I’m straight back to feeling quite sluggish again. Little things make such a difference. X

[@flissteaaa]

Pinch of nom copies other peoples cookbooks

[@kathgriffiths7985]

Glowing Katie! X

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thank you Kath x

[@robynaskinazy5171]

Yesss more food videos from you please! :)

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Robyn I can definitely try and do more! :) x

[@alisonridout]

Great video x

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Alison :) x

[@khenderson3083]

Loved this video! I'm so bad for not drinking enough water and eating a rushed sandwich half way through the afternoon! x

[@katie_ellison]

Thats exactly what I am like too! So really trying to be better with meals and not eating on the go as much, plus drinking lots more water. x

[@SamWest96]

Ah love this. I also started being healthier this year. I've been calorie counting which I didn't like before but I'm finding it quite helpful this time. I've been walking 5-8 miles about 3-4 times a week and then on Monday I gave up all caffeine (almost entirely from diet coke) and started couch to 5k properly. I've lost 4lbs in 6 days, genuinely shocked! But I already feel better for it although I've definitely been grumpy for the diet coke loss haha, haven't been craving it though

[@katie_ellison]

I can’t give up Diet Coke, I’ve tried but it’s too much 🤣🤣. That’s great thought, sounds really positive. Walking helps me so much, especially mentally. X

[@sarahmitchell3290]

Love your food videos.

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Sarah :) x

[@jenniferhenderson6154]

Love pinch on nom and a bonus my fussy youngest son eats the food out of it as well x

[@katie_ellison]

They are great, I’m so impressed so far! The comfort food book is definitely my favourite x

[@flamflam6652]

Definitely going to try the katsu curry!

[@katie_ellison]

It’s so good! That and the lentil curry have been my favourites so far as I’ve made a few more since I filmed this x

[@gregsgirl23au]

Hi Katie sorry to ask again I am waiting on my order of pinch of nom but I wanted to make the sweet potato chilli on the weekend..I just wondered how much sweet potato is in the recipe? Thanks

[@nigel8499]

Any more 'Pinch of nom' ? Also please do taste test after cooking the meal. Many thanks

[@sophieloftus5247]

The Katsu Curry looks amazing! x

[@katie_ellison]

It's so delicious! x

[@zarahahmed8664]

Hey, do you have to use a sweetener?

[@brandenongkp]

Having ginseng fish soup lunch while watching your video.

[@katie_ellison]

Sounds delicious! Whereabouts in the world are you? It's morning here in the Uk, I have just woken up about an hour ago :)

[@karenwhitley84]

I also need to try some different recipes. We eat the same as the kids which is a nightmare as they’re so fussy. I can definitely see a difference in your skin and hair. Inspiration for me to do something healthy this year.

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Karen our kids are quite fussy too! We try to eat together as much as possible but it’s so hard in the week for us as we have to grab and go a lot. I’ve been batch cooking which has been working for us. I definitely recommend the katsu curry, I’ve made it again since for the kids and they loved it. It’s basically chicken nuggets really 🤣 x

[@karenwhitley84]

@@katie_ellison exactly the same here with clubs. Some days it’s just pasta and a tin of tuna for quickness lol 😂

[@mariedamon5655]

Im in a rut with what to eat and put lots of weight i understand hoe you feel i started drinking lemon warm water every morn on an empty stomache and thats helped me lemons have electrilights in them app so i feel less tired but my skin tone looks better .which recipe was your fave they all looked so nice thank you x

[@katie_ellison]

I think out of all of them I preferred the sweet potato chilli but I enjoyed all of them! I try and drink hot lemon water too, I really like it. x

[@taibabajar]

If your video says random chats on it or chatty etc., I click straight away :p

[@katie_ellison]

Haha thank you! :)
