New Year’s resolutions are usually just one more thing to start feeling guilty about, usually by February. I love Woody Guthrie’s list, but it seems a tad ambitious.
So I am going to make just one single, simple resolution: eat three servings of fruits and four servings of vegetables a day. Some days that might mean apple, apple, apple, carrot, carrot, carrot, carrot. Or apple, chocolate, apple, chocolate, apple, chocolate, carrot, chocolate, carrot, chocolate, carrot, chocolate, carrot. Whatever. I’ll have made good on my commitment as long as I fulfill those servings. Ready, set, go.

Apples and chocolate go really well together (you can alternate bites), but carrots don’t do so well with chocolate. I recommend organic carrots — they taste a lot better than non-organic. I think carrots are the thing where organic makes the most difference.

Susan Z: Thanks! It’s good to have people watching and cheering–hence the public resolution.
Kim: We’ve noticed that the carrots with the tops taste much better, and we’ve learned why: many carrots are stored for up to six months before they get to one’s fridge. Carrots with tops can’t be stored for long, so they are much fresher than most. I haven’t done an organic/non-organic taste test, but I’d only buy non-organic carrots if desperate.
Yum to the alternating bites. Don’t encourage me!
