A year ago today I was writing about new years resolutions and how to have a big impact on health without spending the first weeks of the new year prioritising complicated, short-lived unrealistic goals. The post I wrote then struck a chord with a lot of people looking for a simpler way to focus their efforts on feeding themselves well throughout the year.
I’ve just been re-reading that post and stand by the same advice today. If you want to make healthy eating incredibly simple this year do just one thing Put your efforts into eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day. The rest will take care of itself
I’m looking forward to sharing a new year of fruit and vegetable filled cooking and wish each of you reading this a happy, contented and healthy 2012.

Happy, Healthy New Year, Sophie.
Excellent advice — I’m so glad you revisited it on this first day of 2012. I think you should trademark that simple but powerful principle of healthy eating.
Beautiful photo — it gives us another compelling reason to focus on vegetables and fruits: they look so fresh & colourful — a garden on a plate.
