What Do the Foxes Eat? - 2015 Food Story

I thought it would be fun to document our food for 2015. Not just the exciting stuff, but the humdrum stuff too. I have done a decent job of capturing the majority of our meals (and half of Cory's torso LOL) throughout the year. What I haven't done is post them! Since July is 1/2-way through the year, I figured, there's no better time to start, than now!

As I've gone back through our food photos, it's been really cool to not only remember cooking each one but also, to remember who we shared them with! Entertaining is definitely a hobby our family is passionate about and we look forward to many more good times with our friends this 2nd half of the year!

Let's begin. I only posted the 1st 9 days of the year here. The rest will be captured in an album on Facebook.

1/1

New Year's Day morning - coconut waffles yummmm, topped with a dash of whipped cream and toasted coconut. This has to be my hands-down favorite waffle recipe.

New Year's Eve Day was our traditional meal - spiral sliced ham, black eyed peas, colcannon potatoes, collard greens and cornbread, of course. Our friends Jessica & Blake joined us for our festive feast. They brought two delicious appetizers, bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese and spinach artichoke dip!

1/6
In St. Louis for dinner...Cory had interviews with Purina on 1/7. We ate at the Budweiser brew house & it was delish! Plus, it had a very fun atmosphere. We ate beer cheese dip & pretzels, spicy lobster tacos & fish-n-chips.

1/7
In St. Louis for dinner...Cory had interviews today with Purina. We ate lunch at Blues Street Deli & I'm underestimating when I say they were the most delicious sandwiches we'd ever had. I ordered the Aporkalypse (garlic roasted pork sliced then, boom boom sauce, cheese, pickle & bacon!!!). If you're ever in town, please go there!

For dinner, we ordered in Imo's pizza to the hotel.

Homemade dinner of: coconut crusted mahi mahi from Fresh Market, homemade whole wheat farm bread, salad with bacon tomatoes & feta, wild rice and baked sweet potato casserole (in red pots). 

1/9

Calzone for dinner!
