3 Ingredient Meals

Nothing annoys me more than trying a new recipe and it sucks. There are a LOT of healthy recipes out there that look amazing in the photo but taste like cardboard and coconut.

And I still try them. I mean, maybe …?

1 hour, disappointedkids and messy kitchen later ….

I get mad with myself for being sucked in to the glossy image and not using my common sense. Of course coconut flour and apple sauce mixed together to form a brownie is going to taste crappy.

But I tried it. Because the photo looked amazing. Where was my common sense when I wasted time and ingredients on that one? True story.
