Friday I felt like cooking and baking and got busy in the kitchen. I tried a new recipe and totally botched it. They look good but trust me they are doughy, yucky globs. Wasted 3 cubes of butter, 5 cups of flour, 4 eggs etc. etc. Going in the garbage today, if I have to look at them another day I could have a melt down.
So, my baking confidence was shot. I was really destroyed by this failure. It's pretty rare for me for have a cooking calamity. But I did. I took it kinda hard.
Next I made Pioneer Woman's Meatloaf recipe. I thought Max and probably Jesse would be here for dinner, uhm, no. However, while Hubby and I were walking we ran into a friend and had an impromptu dinner party. So, that was a good thing. The meatloaf was yummy! Try it.
I'm going to get back in the saddle this morning and do some baking. I'm kind a scared. Lots of correspondence to take care of today. A mountain of laundry to wash and some tidying up. I'll be doing this very quietly as Hubby should be home soon and going to bed.
One week 'til Spring Break!

The baked disappointment LOOKS good. I have a mountain of laundry too. I think I will bake chocolate chip cookies tonight... they sound yummy.
I too botched some cookies that I made all the time a few weeks ago. I had bought some cheap butter, BIG mistake, never take a shortcut on butter ;)
I too though think your dessert looks good! Hop back on the Saddle
Don't you hate that? Might as well of frosted dollars and thrown them in the trash! Get back at it girl - I know your family would concur that NO ONE can beat you in the kitchen!
It must be the recipe...It's a dumb recipe, because I can't imagine you being the cause of a baking failure.
And it does look pretty, so there goes the saying "It's all in the presentation..."
I'll have to remember that...
Did you use a 9x13 pan instead of the 13x18 pan called for? If so, you probably would need to almost double the bake time!
13x18 is an odd size.
Hope you're back in the kitchen soon!
You can do it. I have faith. I, on the other hand, am a lost cause in the cooking department. I've accepted it and reconciled myself to Subway sandwhiches when Matt it out of town. :)
