worst dinner ever!

So yesterday we decided to try a crock-pot meal I've been wanting to make. Chicken & broccoli. I got it all ready and had it going before we left for church. Kevin's brother Jeff had given us some Rhodes Rolls. So i got those out, they were a little questionable to begin with, but thought we'd see how they rise. We get back from church and i check on the chicken....it's still pink! DUH! I should have had it on HIGH not LOW! The rolls still haven't risen, maybe a little, gave them another good hour or two...still nothing. Made the rice for the chicken. Put the rolls in the oven. Chicken was dry. Broccoli was over done. Rolls tasted like freezer burn. The rice was good! SO we threw out everything but the rice. LOL. We've only thrown out the whole meal like that once before when Kevin decided to try to make something out of leftovers....which did NOT work! We had a good laugh. I have thrown away the recipe since it was nasty!

I've thrown out a few dinners... it sucks especially when you put a lot of time into it.

LOL! I hate it when that happens, I always get so angry and frustrated when things don't turn out! That is when I just want to go out and eat. To bad it was Sunday!

I did that just a little while ago. Slaved over a new recipe and it was so gross!!! We had McDonald's that night instead! :)

That is too funny. I'm glad I'm not the only one out there that has this happen to them.

I hate it when that happens! I made a Rachel Ray recipe once and thought I could change it a little...how wrong I was. I ended up being so hungry, and embarrassed. Just awful. I've found that the recipes from 'The Joy of Cooking' are practically foolproof (even for me!).

I have to say, most of the time when I throw out the 'dinner gone bad' dish, it's me, not the recipe! Or I'll shove it in the bottom of the freezer (like it will magically morph into something yummy??? :)

You should post the recipe. That way, if I ever see anything like it? I won't make it. Save a lot of time.

I hate it when you spend so much time, and it doesn't turn out how you want it!
