DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME

Don't Try This at Home will be a new feature to the blog. This will be a collection of motherhood or domestic fails. Don't pretend you don't have them. We all do. And I am willing to share mine.

For my first installment, I give you Mac n Cheese with Ground Turkey. Some of you are already thinking "ew, was that even a good idea"?? And some of you, like me, are thinking it couldn't be that bad. It's this second group that would be wrong.

So here it is:
Prepare Mac n Cheese according to package. Brown 1 lb. ground turkey. Add to Mac n Cheese with 1 cup of salsa and 1/2 cup corn. Stir until heated through.

I placed this culinary delight in front of PB the other night for dinner. This bright kid never even touched it. He looked at it and began to cry in protest. It should be noted that this kid will eat almost anything. But he wouldn't eat this.

It might surprise you to know I actually ate a bowl of this myself. It wasn't great but it wasn't awful either. I packaged up the leftovers to live another day.

The following day I was out with girlfriends. Recalling this meal made me sick to my stomach. It didn't make a much better impression on my foodie friends. When I got home that night, the Hub told me he'd offered it to PB for lunch and had a repeat of the night before's vocal protest. But the Hub ate it....and liked it!!!!!

I won't be filing this recipe anywhere but the trash can. Even now my stomach churns just thinking about this culinary disaster.

Do yourself and your family a favor and DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!!
