Here's a peek at what I've tried and now consider to be "fails:"
"Healthy" Pancakes
"1 banana + 2 eggs = pancakes!" the description promises. When you consider that there are only those two ingredients, they will not magically taste like pancakes. These are banana-flavored eggs, people. Adding "healthy" or "clean" to an old favorite like "pancakes" does not make it okay.
Hot Buttered Cheerios
Okay, so strike 1 is my fault: I don't actually like Cheerios. Since I can't seem to handle popcorn I'm always on the lookout for a good substitute, and this seemed promising. Cheerios are pretty neutral, and all you're adding is butter. How bad could it be? It was hot buttered cardboard bad. Like, there's a reason you haven't seen this recipe again since 1982 bad. Just don't even go there.
Crock-pot Steak and Potatoes
Ah, the working person's dream: a perfectly cooked dinner waiting for you when you get home. If only! This was a complete disaster. The steaks were tough and dry, and the potatoes burned. I don't even remember how the corn turned out because the rest of it was such a disaster. AVOID!
...and...for dessert...
Chocolate Mousse Shots
Awww, this one had such potential! I like chocolate and coconut--this should have been great! Should have been...but wasn't. It was so bitter and just tasted like it was trying to be something it wasn't. I think I'll rename them "chocolate impostor shots."
This post was all in fun, because, let's face it--we all have disaster-in-the-kitchen stories. The difference is that most of us don't share them online for the world to see. I say if they're out there, they're fair game.
What are some Pins that you've tried that have gone horribly, hilariously wrong?
