When life gives you lemons


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!

    I say y’all too 🙂
    I’ve done the whole tin foil microwave thing. Back in the day, my cousin and I stuck some kind of pastry thing IN the packaging in the microwave and I kid you not, it created a ball of lightening in the microwave! Never seen anything like it before!

    Three words: Glass-Jar-Flax. I am sure you can guess what happened. I was picking tiny glass shards and flax seeds out of my socks for a solid two weeks. That was a 2 hour broom/dustpan clean-up, easy. Never attempt to grab a glass jar with freshly washed hands that are not too dry yet… 🙂

    Your pizzert in a bowl looks gorgeous! Yum! I’ve had situations where I forgot to grease the pan, too. It’s kinda sad sometimes . . .

    I love your recipes posts, the more the merrier! 🙂

    I think my worst kitchen mishap had to be catching grilled cheese on fire. I was broiling them and somehow there were suddenly flames (I think it was because I had used cooking spray…) My Dad had to rush into the kitchen and save the day. He literally threw the flaming sandwiches into the sink full of water. I’ve definitely come a long way since those days though.

    I’ve had some crazy kitchen mishaps, but one of the milder ones is that I frozen bananas…with the peel still on. That was fun, trying to unpeel those bad boys.

    My choc muffins crumbled into pieces when I took them out of the pan, so I added PB and melted choc chips, smashed it all together, rolled it into balls, rolled them in cocoa powder, and ended up with “PB Chocolate Cake Truffles” hhaha
