One Timers

Several recipes have failed their taste tests recently at my house. And, in an effort to be “real” with you I am going to share these flops today. As I have told you before, we have a term at our house for food that will be tolerated once, but will definitely not be served again.. We call these culinary disappointments One Timers, and you can read more about how this term came about here. Below are three recipes that we have chosen not to have again, ever.

 

 

This first one is Grilled Flat Bread made using Artisan Bread Dough. It was simple and quick and had two cheeses sprinkled on top for extra flavor. But, it failed with all four of us, and sadly to say, some of it made it to the trash can.

 

This second one is Baked Pasta. The nice part about this recipe is that the pasta cooks in the sauce while it bakes. It took five minutes to prep and it was super cheesy due to the ricotta and mozzarella chesses. I liked it, but my kids hated it. And, it made so much that we ate it twice. No one likes a fight at dinner time, so I am choosing not to make this recipe again!



 

This third one is Mocha Snack Cake. What's not to like about chocolate right? Well, this cake was ok warm, but terrible once it cooled. The recipe lacked salt and I'm sure that had something to do with the flavor, but I'm not going to try it again to find out for sure!

So, friends be encouraged. Recipes fail sometimes, the key is to keep trying. Once in a while you will find a family favorite and it will be worth it all.
