Another great article and I like the idea Joanna made about thinking of the vegetables first. I normally think of the meat then the veg (probably because we farm beef!). I will try the other way round but won’t tell the farmers! Thanks for the insiration Top Veg.

Thanks for that - I can see that it is a completely different mindset - Think of the veg first & then add the rest - great advice for vegetable gardeners.

Thanks for your help

The trick to eating five/seven a day is to be sure to start at breakfast … also, when planning meals, to try to think first of what veg to have, that way they are the centre of the meal, which is much healthier - especially if you’ve grown them yourself!

I don’t always manage, despite knowing the theory, the tricks - but I’m very keen on the 80/20 rule, which says you’re okay if you get it right most of the time. Although sometimes I don’t even manage that!
