New Year’s Resolution Ideas for Foodies

combGrill_09_lrgc2

The new year is here!

Time to make some resolutions. And if you’re a foodie (and I know you are) at least one of them must involve food.

How about trying steak tartare in the new year?

Cooking beef bourguignon?

Maybe resolve to host more dinner parties?

For me, I’d like to teach my almost-teenage son how to grill a steak.

It’s a lesson every man or woman needs.

What are your foodie New Year’s resolutions? Happy cooking and eating in 2015!

No one can predict the future . . . or can they?

The editors of Eatocracy are making some food predictions for 2014 that are raising some eyebrows.

Okay, maybe just one brow – my left one.

Things like breakfast for dinner? Cool.

Rice making a comeback? Yes, sir.

But beef in the raw? Well, I’ve never really been a tartare kinda gal.

The beef part I’m onboard with.

Read on to see all of their predictions for a tasty new year.

I’m looking forward to MOST of it!
