Culinary Bucket List 2013

I did this last year and didn’t quite make everything on my list. And in fact, spent a great deal of the year adding things rather than crossing them off. I tend to lean on variations of things I already make, rather than pushing forward and crossing things off. But this year that will all change. I’m giving my Culinary Bucket List a 2nd try and seeing if I can’t actually get some of these things made and tried.

I am always open to new ideas and new recipes to try, so never worry about making suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

Oh, and I pulled a few in from last year’s bucket list (some I’ve made but haven’t posted and some I never even tried) – I will get them made this year! I also added a few I’d like to make again… only different.

Oh, and I will be adding to this throughout the year. Expect it. icon wink Culinary Bucket List 2013
