The Gross List

I love Pinterest just as much as the next girl. You kind of become a Pinterest snob if you were one of the "originals"... or got it before the rest of your friends did :P
  Anyway, I have had my share of cooking mishaps. When I found Pinterest, I felt like a chef or a rejuvenated Julia Childs. Maybe even Rachel Ray. There have been a few wins on the list, like 4 ingredient Garlic Chicken Parmesan and the Pumpkin Dump Cake. I can't forget Best Broccoli Ever. As expected and predicted by Ryan, there are a few things that have made it to the dreaded "What the H. E. Double Hockey Stick Is This Sh-t List." So, I present to you "The Gross List".

The Gross List
Ranch Crock Pot Pork Chops with Parmesan Mashed Potatoes
Sounds good, huh? Looks amazing, right? Well, it wasn't good- and it looked like dog poop on snow.

Ranch Crock Pot Potatoes
They burned in the crock pot. They smelled like a rotten salad. They were nasty.

  Crock Pot Potato Soup
Sounds easy enough. This was thick, lumpy and gross. I think I even took a picture of this one after I made it.
The best looking thing in this picture is obviously my Fiesta bowl.


I find it funny that the majority of my cooking successes ( and I use that lightly ) have been desserts. What can I say? I love dessert! 


Lessons learned:
 Ranch+ Crock Pot= Gross
Try to cook something other than a potato. Or a frozen form of a potato.



If you run across these pins, just Say NO. Or else, your family will look like this.
