Biggest mistake I ever made was when I was in, maybe, 4th grade.

Question

My mom was always wiling to let me tackle cooking and baking unassisted. One afternoon, I decided to make peanut butter cookies for the family. After the first batch came out of the oven, of course we had to sample a cookie, and found that it tasted horrible! I went over the recipe carefully to discover my mistake and found I had forgotten to add the peanut butter! Though we could not eat them, our free range chickens loved them!!

We’ve all had cooking/baking disasters. One of my favorite quick things to make in the colder months is pumpkin bread. I’ve made it hundreds of times.

I made it a few years ago and, when I tasted it, it was horrible. I knew instantly I’d forgotten the sugar. I tried saving it by drizzling it with honey. Nope.

Into the trash it went...
