Two years ago today . . .

Posted by kathryn in Blogging

Two years ago today I wrote my very first blog post and Limes & Lycopene was born.

Much has changed since those early days. For starters my writing style has improved enormously. Plus I’ve fine-tuned the subject matter and gained more readers.

And blogging has enabled me to “meet” some smart, interesting and generous people.

Over the last two years, I’ve written nearly 800 posts. Subjects have ranged over the amount of vegies you should eat each day, how to pick the healthiest bread, decoding food labels, and what I eat each day.

I’ve published recipes for soups, salads, one pot meals and even the odd cake.

And you, my lovely readers, have submitted many, many excellent questions for the regular Q & A Thursday forum.

My most read post has been the beginning of the series on 31 days to better energy. While the most popular recipe so far: the fruit, nut and tahini breakfast bars.

More people have found me by googling the word “tahini”, than by any other search term.

And I’ve mentioned beetroot 85 times: including this beetroot curry, why it’s so very good for you and other bloggers’ beautiful recipes.

Thank you to all of you. For reading and linking to Limes & Lycopene. For sending me emails; leaving comments; asking questions; disagreeing with my opinions – and generally letting me know you’re out there and interested in your health.

It’s Q & A Thursday week

This is a Q & A Thursday week – a monthly burst of blogging, where you get to dictate the subject matter. Q & A Thursday is all about simple, practical answers to food and diet dilemmas sent in by readers.

If you have a question you’d like answered send me an email. For more information you can take a look at the Q & A Thursday archives

Happy blogiversary, Kathryn! :-)

Things I love about your blog:
– It’s veg-friendly, yet non-judgemental and inclusive of other dietary choices;
– It’s informative and evidence-based;
– It’s Australian. That person constantly revisiting your posts about what’s in season each month is me. :-)

I hope that however L&L evolves in the future, these elements will remain.

Two years young, eh?

Fantastic – and well worth celebrating!

Congrats. Your writing is just beautiful. The thanks go to you, my dear friend. Well done.

The “this beetroot curry” link is broken, it contains the ”;” as part of the link.

Cindy, Lucy and Kalyn – thanks to you all.

Cindy – I’ll definitely be keeping all those elements. Each of those is very important to me. I’m a little bit late with this month’s what’s in season post – it’s coming!

Joost – thanks for letting me know about the link – I’ve updated and it now works.
