I love making lists, and moreover, I love crossing things off my lists! It’s a great way of setting goals for yourself, whether it’s a list of things to get done over the weekend, a grocery list, or even a list of lifetime goals.
I’ll be 30 in a little over a year, and in an attempt to broaden my cooking proficiency, I made a “bucket list” of sorts; I’ve compiled a list of 30 things I’d like to make before I turn 30. I ran out of steam about halfway through, so I asked for suggestions. I’ll cross things off as I go, so you can follow along to make sure I’m on track to meet my goal! Please share any recipes, tips, or tricks you have for any of my list items.

Almost there!!!
Almost! It’s really going to be a sprint to the finish line!
Look up Emerils recipe for Asian style braised short ribs. Made them a couple weeks ago and they’re INSANELY good.
Awesome, thanks! I’ll have to check it out.
Still need a braised short rib recipe?
I have a few, but always open to tried and true! My biggest hurdle is where to buy short ribs.
