Giada's Lemon Spaghetti

Okay I love lemons, but this recipe might only be good for someone who really really loves lemons.  I think I made that sour face you do when you bite into a lemon every time I tasted this pasta.  I even thought I was being adventurous and added tomatoes and asparagus to the dish.  I'm not sure if I did someone wrong, but you can bet that we will not make this again in our house. 

Grilled Chicken and Green Beans

Well...Someday I will get grilled chicken right.  Almost every time we grill chicken it comes out dry and tasteless.  Tonight was that night.  Just blah!
And to top everything off the green beans that we got at the farmers market had no taste what so ever!  Definately not Grandpa Bud's green beans (my mouth starts watering when I think about them). 
Note to self: remember to ask my parents to ship me some of Grandpa Bud's green beans this summer.
Honestly the only good part of this meal was the grilled sourdough bread....Ah well...

Food Flop of the day

I don't really even want to talk about it, but after a full day of cooking of course there is going to be a flop.  It wasn't the cooks fault, but the meat just tasted like bologna...ick!  The best park was the sourdough bread!  I could eat that stuff all day every day!

Chicken Cordon Blue

One word: Boring!!  Not much flavor at all....totally my fault since I didn't want follow the recipe by sauteing the chicken in a pan forever.  Instead I threw it in the oven...Not that great...

Ranch Chicken Fingers

So i'm not sure if it was the way I fried the chicken (too high of heat possibly?) or just the lack of ingredients, but the ranch slathered chicken with Italian breadcrumb topping didn't go over very well.  It sure smelled good until I chard the crap out of the chicken strips.  Probably won't be making this chicken again.  <Sigh>

Paula Deen's Beef Orange Teriyaki Stir Fry

Now i'm a huge fan of Paula Deen (the butter queen), but when I tried this new recipe from her latest magazine issue I was very unimpressed.  I felt like the stir fry tasted like a bag stir fry you get in the frozen section of the grocery store.

Limehouse Chicken

Ho hum is probably how i'm going to describe this dish.  I have made better recipes than this one that have more flavor.  It wasn't a food flop since  it was edible, but i'm going to file it under food flops since I probably won't make it again...

BBQ Chicken

I'm not sure how you can mess up slathering BBQ sauce on chicken drummies and grilling them, but somehow we did it.  I think it might have been the way I defrosted the chicken since we grilled this dish every week in the summer...Oh well....
