Recipe Bucket List

The other day I was once again perusing/scanning/creeping around the world of food blogs for inspiration.  Then I came across this blog - which I have read before but I most certainly did not see the author's genius "top 100" list of recipes she desires to bake.

Can you say "Eureka" when it isn't really your own idea??

This works out perfectly for me.  I'm constantly reading food blogs, magazines, cook books and whatever else I can get my hands on.  I'm always seeing great recipe ideas that I'd love to try (to either duplicate or re-create) but I always put the book/magazine nicely back on the shelf and completely forget about those recipes.

So after a bit of research, reflection, and surveying, here's my preliminary list - one that I will hopefully keep adding to as I find more inspiring ideas.
