Love this idea! I have a cooking bucket list too!! Ina Garten, The Barefoot Contessa, has a leek bread pudding recipe I haven't tried yet but printed it out as I was planning on making it for Thanksgiving years ago but didn't because of all of the other side dishes I was already ambitiously planning on making...lol.

Looking forward to reading more of your articles on food!! Your food list looks yummy!!!

Thank you so much for sending over the link! I’m going to try it this fall! Anything by Ina is gold

You are so welcome! Yes, I agree, Ina is gold! She taught me how to cook when I used to watch The Food Network when they actually had cooking shows instead of the cooking competition shows they have now...lol.

If you love salmon, she has a great salmon recipe in her very first cookbook called Barefoot Contessa Parties! Ideas and Recipes for Easy Parties That Are Really Fun. She spreads mustard on the salmon and then covers it with a panko mixture with herbs. It's really delicious and when I've made it in the past someone always asks me for the recipe.

If you make the bread pudding, please let us know how it turns out! Have a great day!

Never thought about my collection of recipe cutouts I started in college as my bucket list of recipes, but I certainly do now. All kinds of recipes that seemed dreamy back in the day, and still do, and I still have not gotten around to cooking them. My kitchen is so tiny now that it's not in the cards to cook most of them any time soon. 🌸

Hmmm. I’m not sure. The weather is still warm here so I’m not quite ready for hearty fall food quite yet. I do want to try to make a brisket at some point. Which will require me to be brave and talk to the butcher and figure out what brisket is in Portuguese, ha.
