The shelves may still be ransacked and it may be impossible to meal plan right now, but that isn’t keeping me from dreaming up all kinds of food I want to try my hand at while I have so much extra time on my hands.
People are calling it ‘procrastibaking’, but I’m calling it all of my food dreams coming true. I finally feel like I have the energy to pursue my love for cooking and expand my skills. I am keeping a running list of ingredients I’ll need. I comb the shelves when I go to the grocery store once a week or so for anything I can gather. Yeast and flour is hard to come by these days, but if that’s my main ‘problem’ right now, I feel super grateful.
Here’s my current cooking and baking bucket list:
- Challah Bread
- Barbacoa Meat
- Homemade Tortillas
- Chicken Gumbo
- Biscuits (both drop and rolled)
- Cheesecake Brownies
- Homemade Pasta
- Chocolate Banana Bread
- Cacio e Pepe
- Broccoli Cheddar Soup
- Oven Roasted Chicken
- London Broil
- French Silk Pie
- Dutch Baby Pancake
That’s all I can think of for now and I think that’s plenty enough to get started. I already made the barbacoa and tortillas for dinner last night and it was the meal of my dreams. I’ll write tomorrow to let you know more about it…until then, please let me know: are you procrastibaking, too? What are you making? Do you have anything else you think I should add? After I perfected French Onion Soup a few weeks ago, I feel like the sky is my culinary limit!
