What’s your biggest-ever kitchen mishap? I’ve definitely been guilty of microwaving tinfoil before. And I’ve done the whole “exploding oatmeal” thing more times than I’d like to count.
Then there was that b*tchy wheatberry disaster…
But sometimes a “mishap” can turn into something positive.Take, for example, my snack from the other day, a Blueberry Breakfast Pizzert in a bowl:
I forgot to spray the pan before cooking my pizzert, so it stuck and I had to scrape it out with a spoon. No worries; I put it in a bowl and made art.
Not just any old art, though: Breakfast Pizzert art!
So … I tried to make some homemade coconut butter because you have been raving about it for so long! unfortunately, I never quite made it to the butter stage … http://theradioactivegan.blogspot.com/2010/04/and-then-professor-and-i-made-coconut.html
Have you tried to make your own coconut butter? Any tricks or ideas to help me out? Thanks! 🙂
Renée,
Oh my gosh, I love your idea! I’m going to have to think of some common foods to “vegan-ify”… or maybe I can even ask for requests. True dairy/meat foods like meatloaf… Thanks for the fun idea!
Usually if the food doesn’t look the way you intended, it can still taste great and people need to remember that. You did a great job salvaging yours!
i totally left my fork in the bowl and microwaved it once. never will do that again! talk about lightening in the kitchen. SCARY! hehe.
That blueberry pizzert looks great. Looking forward to Chocolate-Covered Television and more oatmeal ideas! Your oatmeal recipes are fantastic! 😀
I’m so excited for the fashion post!
For some reason soup always explodes on me in the micro. When I used to eat eggs and I tried to poach them in the microwave, it never came out pretty. Then the kitchen would have a stinky egg smell. Yummmm. I need to make that pizzert, it’s been on my mind for days!
I think my biggest kitchen mishap was more of a recipe mishap. :/
Once upon a time I talked to a nutritionist
Who said I needed to add in a wider variety of grains to my diet.
She handed me a list of several lesser known grains,
Which I showed to my mother,
And she said she’d like to try quinoa with me.
So we bought a package and she found a recipe for it.
It had apple cider vinegar and a few other things with it.
We made this recipe…and it ended up being one of the most unappetizing things I’d seen in a while.
I didn’t realized that whenever it’s cooked, it plumps up and has weird worm-looking things in it. :[
I (very reluctantly) tried tasting it,
But I could really only taste the apple cider vinegar and in general I thought
the texture was horrible. :s Never. Again.
Ah, and I am so glad you asked! :]
I have been looking forward to that meaty mushroom stroganoff recipe. <3
P.S. Mind if I snag a bite of your pizzert? ;]
Yay! I can’t wait for the debut of Chocolate Covered Television 😀
I am a hopeless cook, so much so that my Mum still has to help me (for some reason cooking disorientates me and I usually end up with a panic attack…I know, I have a useless brain) so ALL my kitchen endeavours alone are disasters!
I’d love to hear more about your decision to use protein powders ~ I’ve recently added them to my diet and I’d love to hear your views on the matter.
Have a great Monday (is that an oxymoron?)
<3

I have a blog post named the same thing about the mishaps in the kitchen…lol
I am glad you show yours too! Awesome!
