  Here's a glimpse of healthy foods and trends I think we'll be tasting more of in 2015: 1. Riffs on Hot Veggies For the past couple of years, people have been asking me what the "next kale" is going to be. Cauliflower gave it a solid try this year, but it didn't quite have the crowd appeal that kale has commanded. But perhaps in 2015 we'll get another sizzling hot vegetable in the form of kale sprouts, also known as kalettes, BrusselKale and lollipop kale. Kale sprouts are a cross between red Russian kale and Brussels sprouts, and look like a tiny head of kale. Their flavor is peppery and their texture crisp. You can use them like you'd use kale -- in salads or sautéed with olive oil and garlic. We're also set to see more availability of vegetables, like rainbow carrots and broccoflower -- a cross between cauliflower and broccoli -- that have previously been limited to farmers markets. 2. Up in Smoke According to "Supermarket Guru" Phil Lempert, we'll be seeing lots more smoked foods in the coming year. Smoked salt made its debut about five years ago, and the trend has been gaining steam ever since. Lempert says we'll be seeing smoked vegetables, butters and even cocktails in 2015. 3. Bitter Beckons Americans seem to finally be getting over their love affair with all things sweet and are experimenting with the alluring bite of bitter. From c! raft IPAs to Negronis and straight up bitters, we've been getting our acerbic on at the bar. According to restaurant consulting firm Baum and Whiteman's annual trend report, we'll be seeing bitter chocolate, more bitter greens and bitter coffee used in savory dishes. Plus, turmeric -- the ancient anti-inflammatory spice with a strong flavor and deep yellow-orange color -- continues to show up in teas and other beverages. 4. 50 Shades of Green Baum and Whiteman declare that pistachios are the "nut of the year" for 2015. Perhaps it's due to those wacky Stephen Colbert commercials or their Mediterranean origins,

  Unfortunately, Chuy's lost nearly a third of its market value after it reported dismal third-quarter earnings. Sales rose 20% while net income climbed 10% year over year, but that missed Wall Street expectations by half a million in sales and a penny in earnings. Comparable sales growth only rose 3%, disappointing investors who expected numbers on par with Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG  ) , which reported 20% comparables growth last quarter. Total costs and expenses surged 21% because of higher labor, food, and utility costs. The company also slashed its full-year earnings guidance by $0.09 because of rising costs and food inflation.

  christianz1969/Flickr Americans lately have been transferring their love of fast-casual restaurant food to stocks of companies in the segment. Late last month, "better burger" specialist The Habit Restaurants (HABT) launched an initial public offering that doubled in price within hours of hitting the market. Like a meal from one of The Habit's more traditional fast-food rivals, though, the feeling of satisfaction didn't last: The shares started to drop after the initial euphoria. But that isn't stopping other fast-casual operators from listing on the exchange. They're finding, though, what works in the kitchen isn't necessarily successful on the market. ! IPOh Yes ! IPOs of fast-casual chain operators are coming to the market faster than you can get a refill at a soda machine. This year alone has seen the market debut not only of The Habit, but also the Mediterranean-flavored Zoe's Kitchen (ZOES) and West Coast chicken griller El Pollo Loco Holdings (LOCO), among others. Like The Habit, the stocks of the latter two saw impressive first-day rises (although they didn't pop quite as high as those of the burger purveyor). Why the excitement? Some of it can certainly be ascribed to the IPO market itself, which has had a frothy year. As of this writing, 262 companies have gone public, a 25 percent rise over the same period of 2013. In terms of total proceeds from IPOs, 2014 is set to be the best year for at least the past decade. Building a Better Burrito But likely a bigger factor is that the fast-casual segment has one great model that investors are hoping the newcomers can at least partially replicate -- Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG). Since going public in 2006, the stock of the now-ubiquitous chain has gone through the roof. Its IPO was priced at $22 a share and doubled in its first day of trading. Since then, its shares have ballooned -- at the moment, they trade at nearly $660, for a hard-to-believe 2,900-plus-percent rise from the issue price. It's not t

  AlamyDiners at a Chipotle Mexican Grill in Gainesville, Fla. NEW YORK -- Unlike most fast-food chains, Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) isn't into the holidays. There are no new menu items, no special promotions and no store decorations. Your experience in the restaurant is pretty much the same in December as it is in July. So far, that "bah humbug" strategy has worked out well for the burrito and salad bowl company. Chipotle's fourth-quarter same-store sales have increased an average of 8.1 percent going back to 2011, according to Bloomberg data. By comparison, chains that go all out for the holidays -- Starbucks (SBUX) Americas, McDonald's (MCD) and Dunki! n' Donuts! (DNKN) -- have seen smaller gains during the same period.

  Gimmicks like that are the rule in the fast-food universe, but have never been part of our strategy.
