Stick to the Recipes for Now Ms.

Tossed so quickly I didn't have time to get a decent picture.

Tonight I tried to make the Ellie Kreiger 4 Cheese Macaroni...and well...as Andre put it, "It was one of the worse things I've ever tried to eat."  And believe me...he did try.  Kai and I took one bite and spit it out, but Andre ate an entire bowl.  Then he walked over and threw out the rest of the dish.  Truly a gross meal.

To be fair, I don't think it was the recipe that went wrong...it was my "alterations."  In an attempt to get a bit more protein and veggies into the dish I added ground chicken and mushrooms.  Seems reasonable enough.  But, for whatever reason, something just went wrong.   The ground chicken smelled funny from the get go...or maybe chicken just isn't meant to be ground...or maybe when you see ground meat you expect it to smell like hamburger and when it smells like chicken you get grossed out.  Whatever the reason...it was just bad and weird and gross. Kai and I could not handle the smell.

I also added coconut oil sauteed baby bellas.  That was where I lost Andre.  We typically love coconut oil for sauteed mushrooms, but it just did not go with the dish tonight and the mixture of tastes was too much.  This says a lot as Andre is one of those, "we must never throw any food out or waste any food" kind of guys.

At any rate, I cannot say enough how nasty that meal was.  Not one of my finer culinary moments by a long shot.

So, blueberry cream cheese pancakes it was.

Hope everyone else had better luck with whatever you tried to create for dinner tonight.
