Takeout Anyone?

We can so relate to this mom’s noodle disaster. We’ve all felt the pain of scraping burnt food off of the bottom of the pan while simultaneously pulling out the takeout menus.

Mama Tried

If we don’t laugh over the burnt dinner disaster, we will most certainly cry. Pass the wine, please.

Sometimes, despite your best effort, dinner prep takes a dramatic turn.

Extra Crispy Focaccia

View this post on Instagram

I was so excited to make the focaccia that I had seen in Instagram. All bubbly and light and gorgeous. This was my first try and I thought I could nail it but nope. The dough was so sticky that I kept accidentally deflating it and then I got mad and tossed it aside too hard. I came back to it knowing it would be pretty flat and hard but hoped at least it would have good flavor especially with my zucchini from the garden. BUT then I got distracted with my new chicks and left it in the oven too long. I am learning from my mistakes but dang I was excited to try this! I have another dough ball and will try again tomorrow. #microbakery #fociccia #dinnerfail #theundergroundbakery

Rice Krispy

How endearing is it that this mama is able to smile while sharing her latest dinner fail?

Real Talk

When you’re juggling it all and trying to satisfy the pickiest little customers, there is bound to be an off night. As this Insta post says, “We learn and try again!”

Flipping Out

How would you like your eggs? We should mention that scrambled is your only option.

Grab the Broom

That feeling when dinner hits the floor and you know that your hard work has gone to waste.

Burning Up

We applaud the effort that likely went into these scallion pancakes, even if the result was a bit, um, crisp.

Smoking Hot Buns

Kudos to this mama for creating a smoke show in the kitchen. Luckily, the burnt tops were easy to slice off and these were still devoured.
