    I saw a recipe on Pinterest that said to mash a ripe banana and then mix with 2 eggs to make banana pancakes. I thought it was a cool idea. I basically ended up with scrambled eggs with bananas in them! How anyone got this to work is beyond me! The thought makes me gag now!

    haha i actually made this and it didnt turn out to bad! NOTHING like the real thing, but hubby and kids enjoyed. :):)

    One of my worst recipe disasters... I tried to make portabella mushroom soup. Tossed the veggies and the shrooms and the stock in the crockpot and let it cook, expecting the house to smell like veggie mushroom-y goodness. Sounds good right?

    Found out that portabellas are more meant for baking and frying... not soup-ing. They wound up turning the soup pitch black from the spores in them and made it taste like licking a rusty iron pipe. Quite gross. Even the hubby couldn't eat it.... one of the few dishes that I've tossed.

    saving for later, these are cracking me up.

    I tried the oatmeal banana cookies and my husband and kids said look Mom they bounce like bouncy balls we can just play ball with them. I threw them out!

    Quinoa....everyone tells me how delicious it is.

    I tried it, three times, each time cooking it the way someone else told me was delicious.

    No. It is not delicious. It is tasteless and weird textured.

    My husband requested that I stop making it, because, in his words "there is not enough butter in the world to make THAT taste like food...even bacon won't help".

    I'm an experienced cook. People love my food, but this is one thing, I cannot cook in a way that is palatable at all.

    I AGREE!!! yucky.

    Avocado chocolate pudding. We have an avocado tree and avocados coming out our ears, I was trying anything--but don't do it! Blech!

    Gotta disagree on that - this stuff's fantastic.
    Really? How do you make it? My recipe had coconut milk, cocoa, and maple syrup in addition to the actual avocado. It was ew.
    We just pulled another 10lb avocados out of the tree today and Still have plenty more. This Year's crop was like no other! :). Do tell!

    I'm jealous of your avocado tree! I want one :)

    I would rather eat less of food I like than a truck load of a food that is terrible.

    Yes!
