Recipe Duds {#s 36, 37 & 38}

Since I am posting these recipes after I have made them, I go out of order sometimes. 

For that reason, and for saving time I am lumping 3 recipes that were not very good into the same entry.

Here we go! 

Cream Cheese Chicken {crock pot}


It was ok. But it served A LOT. So we were eating this for a while, and it got old very very fast.

Apple Bran Muffins

I don't have a picture of this one, but it was not very exciting. I wanted to use up some apples, but they ended up being wasted anyhow. I think it would have been better with more apples, and all of the bran ground up. I didn't like the chewy full pieces of bran.


Apple Puffed Pancake


I think this one would have been good but something went wrong in the baking process. It reminded me of monkey bread a little bit. I think I would want to try making it again. It just turned out pretty eggy in the middle which wasn't what we wanted. The outside was really good, so I think that if it was all that way it would be really really good. I will let you know if I try it again :)


We drizzled it with Honey, because we were out of maple syrup and dusted it with cinnamon sugar. This made it pretty darn tasty minus the eggy middle. Again, I am excited to try this one again! :)

Any tips for puffed pancake recipes out there?

All for now,

Recipe #3 Granola & #4 Bean Burritos

I eat a lot of granola. 

I go through it quickly.

So I thought I would try making my own. 

Unfortunately this recipe was just ok. 

I like a sweeter granola and this was not as sweet as I prefer. 

So, the search continues! :) 

But wasn't it pretty?


Also tried a black bean burrito recipe. It was over-spiced and unimpressive. More of an easy lunch. Very little actual cooking involved. 

I didn't even get a picture. :( 

Any great granola recipes I should try?

All for now,

Alexandra
