What I Did: They look so good on the picture! The only thing I changed was used 2 whole eggs instead of 4 egg whites, but it got so runny!

My Result:

Next Time I Will: I don’t know. Next time I’ll just make it a casserole and top with breadcrumbs. It tasted really good!

What I Did: The read the directions for a couple of different recipes very carefully and knew I had to prop up the avocados just so. I did and put the first egg in. The whites went everywhere all over the pan. I decided to put the avocado halves in ramekins for support and that seemed to work better. The white still dripped down.

I baked at 425 for 20 min. I checked and decided to leave it it a bit more.

The yolk got crusty on top, which was not appetizing. The avocado skin gets really soft and stuck to the ramekin so when took it out it tore apart. Also, what they don’t tell you, is that these kind of stink when cooking.

My Result:

Next Time I Will: I would definitely scoop out some of the avocado – it makes sense to make more room for the egg. Some recipes do that and some don’t. I didn’t. Also, if using the ramekin, oil it down a bit before putting the avocado in so it doesn’t stick.

What I Did: Attempted to make pizza cones, without a pre-existing “cone.” Made one out of aluminum foil. HAAAA! This is what happened.

My Result:

Next Time I Will: Buy the pizza cone kit!!

What I Did: Any skilled baker knows that sugar melts at a high temperature. 350º for ten minutes in a preheated oven melted almost all the sugar with absolutely no glitter effect. Don’t bother wasting your time trying.In order to achieve this effect you must purchase edible glitter (not just non-toxic). Here is a link to a photo of how edible glitter comes when purchased. There are many sites on the internet where you can purchase edible glitter.

My Result:

Next Time I Will:  There is no way to achieve the metallic component simply with sugar and food coloring.

What I Did: Aiming for the “bacon pancake”, ended up with a plate full of lungs! No further explanation needed! GROSS!

My Result:

Next Time I Will: It all eats the same, as long as you can stomach the sight long enough to eat it!

What I Did: Wouldn’t this be cute for St. Patrick’s Day AND be easy? I’ve learned that nothing that looks cute on Pinterest is ever easy! I swapped out the Hershey’s Kiss for a Rolo… maybe that was my first mistake. Very sad Shamrocks!

What I Did: Over the past year and a half, I’ve been working really hard to adopt a healthier lifestyle. However, this pesky sweet tooth of mine persists. So, I’m always on the lookout for healthy, simple, tasty snacks. I’ve had success with other healthy Pinterest snacks before so I was hopeful about this one. Plus, I already had all the materials on hand! Awesome. Well, that was the only win of this.

I followed the instructions exactly, and what resulted was a gooey, bitter chocolate, overly-sweetened banana mess! The flavors did not blend well and neither did the banana. It was definitely a fail. I managed to eat about two bites before tossing the banana/alkaline-flavored abomination and opting for an apple.

My Result:

Next Time I Will: If I did make this again, I would use a banana that was less ripe. I think the ripeness caused it to be too sweet and too mushy for the recipe. I would also use less cocoa powder, a whole egg, and a little more sweetener.

What I Did: I wanted to make homemade mozzarella cheese bites, and found the easiest recipe on Pinterest. I followed the recipe exactly: cut the string cheese into pieces, dipped in milk and eggs, rolled in breadcrumbs, and placed into the oven. Easy peasy. Ha!

What I Did: I followed the recipe – pretty much to the dot! Spent half a day making the pineapple filling and the dough (I found the recipe with the picture on a facebook post).. For some reason the dough ended up quite crumbly and I couldn’t shape the bunnies… Though trust me – I TRIED! Feeling all disappointed with my efforts I looked at the original picture – and concluded that the bunnies on the left looked like they were made in a mold, not sculpted by hand…

My Result:

Next Time I Will: In spite of looking rather ugly, they tasted quite good
