The NEW YEAR typically brings NEW YEAR resolutions filled with foods we promise to stay away from as we shuffle our routines and sign-up for gym memberships.  It also brings a lot talk about 2015 food trends.

It’s about this time of year when we start to see trend lists popping up almost daily predicting what may or may not end up on the tip of your fork. So we decided to join the banter and weigh in.

Here’s our top 10 hopefuls for 2015
