    Egg/ banana pancakes always seem not to bad to me but I tried protein powder pancakes once... Never again... They were like rubber covered in syrup. I'd rather have a real pancake any day!

    Awww I love pickle soup, and mashed cauliflower isn't bad, it just shouldn't be called cauliflower potatoes...it isn't, that's ok. Just leave it be people!!

    I've been served "lasagna" that has cottage cheese where ricotta is supposed to be. I'm of Sicilian heritage, and that does *not* work for me! Blargh!

    Anything that is supposed to be a replacement for anything else. Just call it what it is! Mashed cauliflower is yummy, but don't tell me it is "just like mashed potatoes!" LIES!!!

    Soooo many.

    Anything with cauliflower disguised as something else (potatoes, mainly).

    Fish tacos. I just tried these this week with a Bobby Flay recipe. Pretty easy recipe, lots of spices/flavors used, smelled good...tasted like nothing. I had to add extra salt just to get some flavor out of it. It wasn't gross, it was just very bland despite the marinade.

    Any recipe that includes thyme.

    I also hated the egg/banana pancakes. I hate any pancake recipe that includes banana. I like eating bananas, but hot mushy banana in what's supposed to be a pancake grosses me out. It overpowers all of the other flavors. Nasty.

    As for protein pancakes, I've tried a lot of nasty ones, but I have a couple recipes that are great.

    Zoodles. I really WANTED to like them. I managed to choke them down but I won't be rushing to make them again.

    Vegetti doesn't make spaghetti out of vegetables, it's just shredded vegetables.

    The banana/egg pancakes are okay (I probably won't make them again) but you have to know going into it that they will NOT be pancakes. They will more closely resemble oddly textured French toast that is covered in bananas. I went into it thinking "oh, low calorie, high protein things that will taste just like pancakes!" If someone had warned me, maybe I would be more okay with them.

    Mug cake, cookie, brownie...mug anything. Taste is ok but it's not the same thing at all. Certainly not a replacement for the real thing.

    I totally agree! Got sucked into the whole quinoa tastes just like brown rice but it's better for you fad. Bought a box, made it, tasted it, gagged, and threw the rest in the trash.

    Also gluten free pizza crust from Tastefully Simple. It was gummy, flavorless and tasted like I was eating paper. Ugh.
