My Recipe Bucket List
It happens all too often to me. I’m browsing blogs, cookbooks, or Pinterest and I see a recipe that makes me say, “oooh! I have always wanted to make something like that.” Then, I mark it/pin it and promptly forget about it for a while.
But how about actually making those dishes? As I create more and more recipes in my kitchen, I think it might be fun to look at my “bucket list” and mark some of those off as accomplished. So…let’s get to it – what items do I want to make? Are there any you think I should add? I will try to update this list as I go…maybe one day I can check each and every one off!
Do you have any bucket list items to make in your kitchen as well? What are they?

It’s so simple and delicious. We’ve been eating it with the recommended salad: greens, pine nuts, crumbled blue cheese and pear. It’s amazing. Also incredible over warm potatoes live suggested. I love your list!

January 13, 2013 at 6:54 pm (131 days ago)This is such a cool idea–I never considered making a bucket list for recipes! Have you tried Jessica’s tortilla recipe (http://thetaleoftwokitchens.blogspot.com/2011/06/flour-tortillas.html)? It’s seriously the best ever; my husband and I use it all of the time and now we don’t like the taste of store-bought ones.
Elizabeth recently posted..bake. pray. love.

January 14, 2013 at 9:47 am (130 days ago)Nope – I have not tried the recipe yet, hence why making tortillas are still on my bucket list!
I will maybe have to give Jessica’s version a try – I’m sure she knows how to do it right!
