BEB Bucket List 2.0
A few weeks ago, I mentioned my old baking and cooking bucket list, which I had dubbed โMy 100โ. I posted it back in 2008 (NINE years ago, whoa!)ย as a way to inspire me to tackle new things and track my progress. Since then nearly everything on the list has been crossed off (yay!) and Iโve been wanting to update and expand the list for awhile now.
Iโm starting this version with 50 items, and Iโm hoping that this time around we can tackle the list together. Iโm still working through the details of how itโll work, but Iโm thinking something along the lines of a monthly bucket list challenge, where we all make the same thing, Iโll share the recipe here, and you all can share your results, photos on social media, etc. What do you think?! Would you be down for that?
Let me know, and in the meantime, below is my new bucket list!

I use vanilla extract everyday, but so Doctors Office Near Me
far so good after 2 weeks of using the same bottle and replenishing with more vodka.
i would love the idea in your bucket list.
Almost none of the baking items or breads have I done.
I cook more than bake. Starting to bake is a challenge for sure
Dorie
I love this idea and I am on board. ย But when does it begin?
Looking for recipe for sour dough bread using your starter.

I personally found that this is a perfect pannacotta recipe. Donโt know whether you have already made one.
Can you try making French macaroons? Iโve been trying and canโt find a good recipe
I have a fabulous recipe!!!
How about a Ginger Bread house. The kids love them,a great way to start a tradition.
BEWARE, they are addictive. I made one for our childrenโs doctor and after 20 years I was up to
10 houses.
Hereโs two recipes for Parker House rolls:

As a Pittsburgh girl myself (now exiled to New England) I have two things on my culinary bucket list:
Lady Locks and salt sticks
I have found a few recipes for Lady Locks but havenโt tried making yet. The salt sticks still allude meโฆ..
Iโm from that area too and live in Connecticut now ย and LOVE Lady Locks. But what I am dying for is a good recipe for Burnt Almond Torte from Pranglโs in Shady Side. Did you find a recipe for the Lady Locks yet ? ย I have made them. Salt sticks im unaware of โฆ.
I was on my island and forgot to buy bread. Needed a recipe and found your website. Made your white bread which came out as advertised. Looked through your website. Recipes look interestingโฆ..but not nearly as interesting as you. (Consider this a marriage proposal). You should have your own cooking show. Iโd watch you all day long. Good luck. I also recommend bakers joy as a must have kitchen necessity. PS do you sell posters?
Hi Michelle. Iโve been reading your blog for years. I love it! My sonโs birthday is in a couple of days and he requested a Marble Cake. Oh my goodnessโฆI didnโt realize how difficult it would be to find a recipe for a Marble Cake. I went to my Hersheyโs, Test Kitchen and Cookโs Baking Book cookbooks and there were NO recipes for a Marble cake. What??? The next logical place to go was BEBโฆOh noโฆstill no recipe. I saw your Zebra cake from 2008 but it sounds like it looked better than it tasted. I also noticed you have it on your Bucket List for this year. PLEASE move this to the top of your bucket list! Iโd love to have a go-to Marble Cake. Keep up the great work!
Hi Jill, Thanks so much for the suggestion and happy birthday to your son!
Love this list. There are items Iโve checked off but many Iโd like to try. I just conquered Swedish Princesstรถrte. Great list, look forward to baking with you.ย

These are the best waffles ever. Airy, crisp, EASY, and make-ahead.ย
Iโm all in :)
Iโve been dying to figure out fried rice! Canโt wait to see that one!
Great idea, Michelle! Iโm in :)
Iโve used a recipe for Sweet Dinner Rolls from allrecipes.com many times over the years. I shape them like crescent rolls, as directed in the recipe, but they can be made into other shapes, too. Iโve also used the dough to make cinnamon rolls, with stellar results:

I would love to join your bucket list monthly challenges if you set it up :)
