re: The worst meal your significant other has cooked for you

I'm the "cook" in the house, and she's the baker, and she's damn good at it too.

I'll give her credit though, she won't attempt to cook something if she's not confident in it. So she doesn't cook much at all, but when she does, its usually pretty good.

Almost everything she bakes is great, except for one thing...and she loves to bake them, is her chocolate snickerdoodle cookies.

The chocolate combined with cinnamon mess it up for me. And she love to bake them...I just eat only 1/2 a cookie and tell her its good....

I think her worst was just a punt meal that said to my daughter and I "just eat it and shutup". Kraft mac and cheese w Wolf brand chili mixed in. Served it at the table in the pan. Like, here. Scoop it yourselves lol.

If my mom would have put some bullshite like that on the table after my tenth birthday, I would have thrown it in the trash, thanked her for her college try, and made something for myself.

Crunchy Macaroni and Cheese...under cooked noodles. How do you even mess that up?

Lasagna with old sauce that sat in the fridge too long. It was disgusting

I do most of the cooking at home but the wife is a pretty good cook. Until she found Pinterest. She started cooking casseroles and other nasty shite.

I had to enforce a ban on Pinterest recipes. I'm convinced Pinterest is where all the women who don't know how to cook publish recipes to other people who don't know how to cook. Like no, Cream of Mushroom, ranch dressing mix, fritos, three pounds of butter, frozen chicken breasts, and Velveeta do NOT belong in the same dish, no matter what Lexi_Homemaker_86 posted on Pinterest.

Glad that's not unique to our house. The first thing I ask when she says she found a good recipe was if it came from Pinterest. If it did, I tell her I'm not making it. The only thing she's found on Pinterest that was good was a sugar cookie recipe.

To prove my point once, she followed a Pinterest recipe to the letter, and I created the same exact dish without a recipe and using different, better ingredients. Then we did a side-by-side taste test. We ate all of mine and barely touched her Pinterest creation.

When my wife first moved in, anytime we had any kind of beef, she was under the impression it had to be marinated and cooked in a gallon of Worcestershire sauce. I bared it as long as I could and finally had to come clean. It made everything so damn salty and I absolutely cannot stand the way it makes the entire house smell for hours after cooking with it. She told me she didn't really like it either but she had seen her mom use it on burger patties when she was living at home so she figured that was just the way people seasoned beef.

My grandmother got her pointed in the right direction before she passed away so it's all good now. Plus, my wife is the only person in my family who can replicate Nana's cornbread and vegetable soup recipes now.

I’m shocked by some of these!

I'm shocked at the number of men that are the main cook in their households. My wife is a great cook and baker, so I have a hard time remembering anything really bad she's ever put on a plate.

Basically, if you can read a recipe you can cook. But if you can cook with a really good cook, you learn more about timing/meal planning, and flavoring than any recipe will ever teach you.
