There are a ton of recipes I want to make, but I have a “One Day” section of a Pinterest board that has 25 recipes that I really want to make. Well, not really those specific recipes but they represent the food I want to make. Now, some of these recipes are difficult, but a lot are just recipes I can’t easily find the ingredients for, keep saying I want to make but don’t, or just haven’t found the right opportunity to make. The below list is in no particular order.
The Recipes:
- Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits
- Who doesn’t want to make these? They’re delicious.
- Gyro
- I love gyros, and I already make a mean tzatziki sauce, so the next step is obviously making the actual meat. And the flat bread to go along with it.
- Mushroom Brie Fondue
- I love fondue, and I think this specific type of fondue sounds amazing.
- Tortillas
- We would save so much money if we made our own tortillas. We go through at least 20 a week.
- Russian Dressing
- This type of dressing is weirdly hard to find, but I love it, so I want to have a backup plan.
- Peach Jalapeno Jam
- I’ve never made jam before and would like to.
- Gochujang
- Kimchi
- This and gochujang are really for Shane. He loves kimchi, and we get it homemade from a local Asian grocery store, but it’d be nice to make it ourselves sometimes. I’m just interested in fermenting the gochujang.
- Pretzels
- The soft kind, that you can rip up and dip in cheddar beer sauce.
- Lobster Roll
- Please take me back to Maine.
- Gravlax
- This is something my parents used to make, and while I love gravlax themselves. there’s definitely a nostalgia factor in play.
- Jaegerschnitzel
- This just looks tasty and I’m into it.
- Summer Rolls
- I don’t like egg rolls, spring rolls are okay, but summer rolls are my jimmy-jam. They’re so refreshing.
- Fried Green Tomatoes
- These are so delicious, so if I can find green tomatoes, I definitely want to try my hand at it.
- Vietnamese Noodle Salad
- When we go get Vietnamese, Shane gets pho and I get a cold noodle salad. They’re so good, I’d like to have one in my rotation.
- Ravioli
- Gnocchi
- Ravioli & gnocchi are 2 pastas we’ve never made and take the skill up a notch from what we normally make.
- Khachapuri
- I didn’t even know this existed until early this year, but it’s my favorite food to get at a little place we like to go. I’d like to make it once, and then let them make it for me the rest of the time. It’s called “Georgian Cheese Bread” in case you’re wondering what it is.
- Beignets
- Another one based solely on how tasty it is.
- Beef Wellington
- This just seems like a good challenge. I don’t think I’ve ever actually had it.
- Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich
- We didn’t get to try this when we were in Nashville last year, and I’d like to see if we can recreate them here. Though I guess we won’t know how they compare. Oh well.
- Hush Puppies
- I didn’t know I loved these until last summer, and these are definitely another “want to learn how to make just so I can have them whenever I want them”.
- Crab Rangoon
- My #1 comfort food definitely needs to be on rotation.
- Naan
- I’m beginning to realize that most of this list isn’t about techniques, it’s about things I enjoy stuffing into my face.
- Seafood Chowder
- I seriously miss Maine.
And that’s the (current) list, it’ll definitely be updated continually. One of the reasons we bought the house we did was the amazing kitchen and I’ve been really enjoying it. I can’t wait to explore some of these recipes.
