A year in review
Posted by kathryn in Blogging
Over the last year I’ve blogged on many subjects – from food labeling, through to kids’ nutrition, health myths, suggested products, as well as food marketing ploys that make me mad. It’s all based around the fundamental question I try to answer how do you live a healthy life and eat a good diet in the modern world.
Most popular posts
One of the things I’ve learnt over the last year is, the impossibility of accurately predicting what posts are going to be the most popular. My top five are an eclectic group, which reflect popular search terms, as well as regular readership:
- My recipe for oven-baked potato wedges is to date the most popular post on Limes & Lycopene. I make these all the time, so I guess it’s not startling that readers also find this recipe useful. It’s certainly the most frequent google search that brings new people to my blog.
- I never realised how a small mention of Jamie Oliver’s new programme would lead so many people to Limes & Lycopene. Especially when his programme was mysteriously pulled from the regular TV schedule.
- What actually is five serves? is one of my favourite posts and continues to be one of the most popular. It gives a visual guide to the standard five servings of vegies per day and aims to show how easy it can be to fit those in during a 24 hour period.
- My muffin recipe and all it’s variations are the next most popular. From the original date and walnut recipe I posted, through peach, walnut and ginger, pear maple and walnut and spiced apple muffins.
- The final in the popularity stakes is my more recent anti-superfood post.
The name
Those of you new-ish to Limes & Lycopene, may be wondering about the name. Here’s my original explanation.

Congrats on reaching 1 years old!! Hope your blog continues to be successful! I enjoy reading it anyway!
I too am surprised by how many hits I get from mentioning Jamie Oliver! I included one of his recipes and people actually search for “Jamie’s pasta al forno” and get me…very strange!!
Thanks Melanie. I’m always interested to read the search terms people use to end up at my blog. I also mentioned Bill Granger once and, again, it’s a search term that leads a lot of people to my blog. I always imagine them being a bit disappointed though – not at all what they were expecting!
