30-While-30 Two Month Update
Today is my monthly update on how I’m doing with my 30-while-30 list. I made a decent amount of progress this month, so that’s exciting. The food related tasks are the ones I haven’t really been focusing on. I’m sure I’ll get to them though!
Food / Blogging
- Chocolate Mosaic Cheesecake
- Gnocchi
- Donuts
- Eggs Benedict
- Laminated dough (either danishes or croissants)
- Make bread at least 4 times
- Bake at least 4 layer cakes
- Buy a whole coconut. Open it. Do something (delicious) with it.
- Make at least one thing from each cookbook I own – any cookbooks that don’t get used in a year, donate or giveaway on here – I started making my list of cookbooks. I plan to post it on here shortly.
- Cook with 3 new foods – Being part of a CSA this summer has been AMAZING. I’ve definitely already cooked with 3 new foods, including this Summer Shrimp Salad.

Healthy living
- Walk another Avon Walk for Breast Cancer – I’ve signed up to talk in NYC this October – I need to get on track with training more!

I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Shoot! I need to send you that molten lava cake recipe. I’m going to try to remind myself when I get home tonight.
you’re on a roll! looking forward to see what event you will plan 🙂
I love these kinda of lists! Makes me want to do one myself. And I think you’re doing a great job… can’t wait to see what your blogger event is!

I haven’t commented yet but I absolutely love your blog! I’ve downloaded about 10 recipes I intend to try! Well done on your 30 by 30! I also have a 101 things to do in 1001 days – my 1001 days is up in January 2011 and I’ve done only about 20 things …. hmm! So you should be proud of how much of your list you’ve done!!
