massive fails happen. laugh and move on -

Recently I made three quiches for Easter for my dear sister-in-laws party... My ego imagined oohs and aaaahs (not really lol) over my lovely interpretations of quiche Lorraine - lol NOT!!!

, Bobby Flay's Chorizo and goat cheese quiche (can you say FAIL) it looked lovely but still fail! 

, and my onion quiche with thyme (way too much thyme.. and where was the bacon.. everything is better with bacon).

look how pretty it looked (was it good - no but it sure looked good) 

MY QUICHES NEEDED TO STAY HOME. .  -I didn't even make my crust - who doesn't make their crust... just kidding.

(One of my dear sis-in-laws make an awesome egg dish.  If all we had was that dish and  my other dear sister-in-laws hash brown casserole that would make Easter for me.

So many cooks (especially new cooks) are afraid to cook for others because they are afraid of moments like I had. ALL COOKS HAVE MOMENTS LIKE THIS.  I just admit it any time it happens - I sometimes will take a bow! yes yes ... not the best... thank you.

I like moments like this because it teaches me so much! I love cooks that show their mistakes as well as their successes.  Even chefs cookbooks have items that are not outstanding to everyone.  There are websites that show fails - move on - learn from mistakes and don't be afraid to try again.

we all make mistakes and that's how we learn: Julia Child - flipping a potato pancake (ends up mostly on the stove) It's going to happen.. embrace it and move on.

Cooking Mistakes happen!

My worst mistakes as I learned how to be a home cook. (my dear husband can attest)

as a young mom: I bought these beautiful stuffed chicken breasts and placed them in the oven.. the chicken was glistening and I was so proud.  My dear husband came in and asked what smelled like plastic... the chicken was glistening because I forgot to take the plastic wrap off. 

So practice, practice, practice...don't take things so seriously.. and expect to make mistakes!!! Have fun. Life is an adventure! 

Look at this... oh my gosh it looked terrible (my dear husband took the picture) who would eat this.. but you know it tasted great.. go figure.  Picture Fail!!!  lol. It was worth it because my family laughed over this!
