New Year - New Foods!

2015 is here and it's a great time to start trying new foods.  The other night I went to my friend's birthday party and her mother prepared Indian food for us while we watched  The Hundred Foot Journey. We had Chicken tikki masala, rice, raita (yogurt sauce) and saag paneer (spinach with cheese).  I hadn't had Indian food in a long time and the dishes were flavorful and a nice change of pace to start off the new year.  (Thanks Mrs. P!)

The Indian-themed party has made me want to spend more time cooking with my friends in 2015.  I think I'll invite the girls over next month and have French crepes while we watch Les Miserables or maybe we'll go Greek and sing along to Mama Mia.

What new foods will you try this year?
