A Failed Attempt at Cooking

I’ve been experimenting in the kitchen (fun, but not always safe). Last night I decided to add almond butter to my recipe.

The reason? I had too much almond butter.

I’d been making almond butter milkshakes for the past few days trying to get rid of the stuff. So, I thought plopping a dollopful into my skillet of steak and mushrooms might be a good idea.

I was wrong.

The dish tastes awful. The almond butter interfered with the cooking process of the meat, so the mushrooms came out burnt and the meat came out undercooked. None of the “buttery goodness” that is almond butter was left after the butter burned out. In place was the bitter taste of heated nuts, absolutely unenchanting.

So, this week I’m going to forget about nuts and move onto spices. I plan on making a tomato chicken curry tonight.

All the cooking is in an effort to fine tune my washboard abs (how do you like that mixed metaphor, blam!). I’m also visiting other health blogs like the damage control master formula blog and a weight loss shake blog.
