Have you ever thought about doing something, thinking it was a great idea, only to find out it was a total disaster?? I had this bread which was a few days old, so I thought "why not make french toast and freeze it?" Then I thought "I think Ill try to bake it and see what happens" So I put four eggs in a bowl and was about to use milk but then I had some vanilla soy milk, i used that instead added some cinnamon and some vanilla, mixed it all together and preceded to dip my bread in it and put it in a pan. Finally full of bread I put my pan in the oven to bake at 350. while i did that I decided to make some on top of the stove with the leftover egg mix. Those turned out fine LOL. Finally my oven baked french toast was nice and brown . I took them out of the oven to cool. After they had cooled i preceded to take them out of the foil lined pan. They wouldnt budge. They were hard as rocks and they wouldnt come off of the alluminun foil. So now what do I do with them? lol Have you ever thought something was a good idea only to find out it was a disaster?? Tell us all about it.

Sounds like you made yourself some French Toast croutons. Not sure how that would taste on a salad. I once decided to use peanut butter in my cookies instead of the butter that the recipe called for. They had an ok flavor, but the texture was a bit strange.

Oh that sounds kinda good. Thanks for the suggestion hehe . Wonder if the sweetness would affect the taste lol

I would suggest only substituting half the butter with peanut butter. You can do the same thing with brownies.

Well this is a long time ago but we used to do this thing when I was a kid called "Wolfy's Diner". We'd take whatever we could find in the kitchen and cook things. One day we decided to do brownies. Well we had no chocolate, only cinnamon, and no baking powder, only baking soda. What we ended up with was something kind of like gluey, baked French toast. It was edible, just barely!

hmmm well it all sounded quite nice, too bad it didn't work out, I have a lot of disasters as i am not a good cook...I have even spent a good hour waiting for muffins to rise and I had my guests watching as well....simply to discover I forgot to turn the oven on...I am hopeless when it comes to cooking...

Oh my goodness!!! Mssnow, you sure made me smile on this one. I would feed them to the birds. I always make my french toast on the stove. I have never baked it in the oven. I make more than what I need for the meal. I then freeze the extra ones. The kids just pop them in to the toaster on a low setting. Works like a charm.

Sounded like you had a good thing going. Too bad it didn't turn out. I forgot to add a second egg to my meat loaf once. It wouldn't hold together. So for dinner we had meat loaf crumbles. I had to mix it with mashed potatoes. Still edible, but not what was intended.

Too bad it didn't turn out well. But I guess even the best cooks sometimes have disasters so dont let that affect you . Happy cooking.
