My Nasty Recipes I Made and My New Rocking Chair Project

In keeping up with my housewifeness, I've made some decent and aweful recipes. I have yet to make something worth eating again. No matter what I make, I do SOMETHING wrong. This should lend you to think I am not very legit, and I'd like to say to you that I am definately NOT legit, just like you thought! I have proven time after time that cooking hates me. (Which is why I'm not even suggesting you make anything here!) I really do suck at cooking, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

This cheesecake is a perfect example of that! I had to...improvise....a lot. Braden sadly left it sitting out overnight (boy I oughta!), so I only got 1 piece of this. He barely got to sleep in the bed....he should feel VERY lucky!!! I wish I could have tried it again the next day, but I'm letting it go...kinda.

This little number is a disgusting, filthy, putrid recipe I made. Once again, I got in trouble trying to experiment. It always humbles me afterwards when all my recipes go wrong. This one actually disappointed me SO much, that I threw a tantrum (oven-door-slamming 5 times in a row just for fun, taking the plate and flinging it across the table to hopefully destroy it, then falling to the ground on my knees and crying). Dang you stupid chicken pot pie, look what you did! I hate you!! I added way more crust than asked for (just because I really like crust and HATE when it is skimpy), and so it did not cook through all the way. Also, my veggies tasted like dirt? Can't explain that one. It may look good, but don't be fooled, it's not.

This dish was better, don't worry. It's got squash, asparagus, snap peas, mushrooms, and green onions in it.

                            Lemon Pepper Chicken with Pasta Primavera          4/5 stars


Today I made this. Can't say I love it.

                                                        Tuna Casserole             3/5 stars

I have made it my personal goal to find a recipe I have really loved. This is the only reason I haven't given up yet!

On a more successful note, I helped reupholster a used rocking chair I bought on KSL. It's for the baby room. The frame is in great shape, except the cushions were worn and stained-- but it was only $35! Woo hoo! Shake your money maker!! My mother-in-law did all of the sewing, so I can't take hardly any credit for it (I wish). I just love it love it love it. It's got pockets on the side. Oh, and the husband did all the foam cutting and ottoman reupholstering.
