One Timers

From time to time I will share with you some of the recipe flops that we have tasted. We call these flops One Timers. (You can learn more about how this term came about here.) I try 3-5 new recipes each week. I am always testing and altering recipes to accommodate for my family's likes and dislikes. But, sometimes a recipe just isn't worth the effort. And, the recipes below are some that I do not plan to try again.

These Poppy Seed Muffins looked promising, but were tasteless. I would like to find a delicious Poppy Seed Muffin recipe, but I'm not too excited about trying a new recipe any time soon because these literally left a bad taste in my mouth!

While staying with a friend earlier this summer I browsed through her cookbooks and came across this recipe for Gingerbread Scones. I thought that they might be a nice variation on the Scones that I typically make. But, they weren't that exciting, so I have no intention of making them again.

Finally, this Cinnamon Bread was so simple and quick to mix up. It was moist and pretty, but did not have enough flavor. I ended up making a batch of Cinnamon Cocoa Spread to put on this bread to coax my kids to eat it.

Not all recipes turn out as beautifully as planned, but keep trying! It's worth the effort when you find a gem. Have you had any flops lately?
