#recipe fail

[maeskitchen]

So, I spent several minutes scrolling through a recipe for Cajun shrimp and four pictures and a terrible story later, the recipe was:

24-36 shrimp

1 tbsp of olive oil

2 tbsp of Cajun seasoning

I CALL A RECIPE FOUL.

Got an episode of Sabrina in today 😂

Then I saw a recipe for sweet potato protein pancakes and thought wow that sounds good!! And I was right, but oh so wrong. The ones that weren't burnt to a crisp or raw were delicious 😂😂

Here's a photo story of how this went

Fail. 

So much fail. 

Maybe next time I'll do better 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😂😂

Tried to make some low carb zucchini chocolate muffins..

And they were awful. They looked so pretty too. My two year old took a bite and just handed it back to me.

She never specified exactly how much zucchini to add.. just “one medium” which is super vague. Also was I supposed to peel it? Idk but unfortunately these were a no go.

Try at your own risk I guess.

FRUITY FLESH!

This is actually jello.  I was making this for something else that didn’t quite work out, but it DOES make very firm shapes and came out tasty. It holds cut shape or mold shape a bit better than just plain jello.

a little late for Halloween, but if you ever need to make Fake Flesh, here ya go:

box of strawberry-banana jello. Replace the water called for on the box with pureed banana, heated up.  Follow rest of directions. Congrats, you’ve made FLESH.

Did I tell you the story about how I went to my niece’s house for Easter dinner and she planned to make brisket using the recipe given to her by her catering colleague? And how the recipe called for Coca-Cola? But, my niece only keeps/drinks Diet Coke around the house

When the recipe looked easier on YouTube.

Talking to my mom today

Me: "Do you want to hear my latest cooking fail?"

Her: "Yes."

Me: "So I made this hot honey baked chicken recipe and it calls for dredging the chicken and breading it in corn flakes."

Her: "Oh, I've heard of those kinds of recipes!"

Me: "Yeah. Except I didn't have any corn flakes."

Her: "...oh no."

Me: "But, I DO have frosted flakes."

Her: "*gasp* NO." Queue her uncontrollable laughter for 10 minutes. "At what point did you realize that was a bad idea!?"

Me: "It wasn't the worst thing I ever ate."

So I just experimented with stuff in my fridge and accidentally made the most disgusting cocktail I have ever tried (and that includes the ones with Kahlua and vegetable juice *shudder*). I mean, it was so nasty that I had to leave my apartment while my food was cooking in the oven and walk the two blocks to the closest convenience store to buy something strong enough to wash the taste out. That bad.

The good news: I didn’t waste more than $1 of ingredients in making it and it probably would have been a good cocktail recipe if it had used white rum instead of whiskey

The bad news: I’ve realized that the “purportedly good but not too expensive” whiskey I used to make it is just plain nasty and that I’m going to have to figure out ways to use it up without drinking it so now I have to research a whole bunch of funky recipes again
