Crazy Curly Broccoli Bake (Kid-Friendly)
Not all the recipes I find on AllRecipes.com are a success. A recipe I found for Crazy Curly Broccoli was not a success (in my opinion). As I was making this recipe I got really excited. This was going to be a easy and healthy recipe that smelled just like Panera's broccoli cheddar soup (my favorite). I couldn't wait to eat it. Then I did. It seriously lacked flavor. Though, I have to admit that the girls picked through the broccoli to eat the pasta, so no one left the table hungry.Chicken Puffs
Yet another AllRecipes.com pick. This one was a failure though because I decided to get all fancy and make a few changes to it. This recipe for Chicken Puffs got rave reviews. I thought I'd be all "healthy" and add a few vegetables to make it more like an individual pot pie. Then I stuffed the croissants more than the recipe called for. Finally, they were nice and brown, but still doughy in the middle. The girls were not impressed, and neither was I (but I do not blame the recipe, I blame my changes).Creamed Asparagus Soup
You probably just read this title and thought, "what was she thinking?" I was thinking I would be able to make a healthy vegetable soup that the girls would actually eat. I was wrong. I found this recipe while paging through a food magazine. The recipe is available here. I thought it looked good, and it was! The girls didn't agree. Sarah used her soup as organic finger paints shortly after her first taste. I had to do a lot of encouraging and commanding to get Abigail to take a taste. They each took one bite and then that was that. Oh well.
I hope you enjoyed our first installment of the What's Cooking Hall of Shame. I'm hoping it takes a while before I have three more recipes that fit this category.
