Recipe Fail

In the past couple of months I have been desperately trying to bake/cook things I've never tried before. It's all a part of my "I have free time, I should learn how to do new things," challenge. So here is an update:
Things that turned out great and I would recommend:
Cake Batter Rice Krispie Treats


Pizza Bites


Oreo and Peanut Butter Brownie Cakes


Auntie Anne's At Home Baking Kit

Maybe it was my cooking ability, or maybe these recipes are awful. Either way, these recipes have failed miserably . . . for the love of all things holy, please don't make these:

Sausage Vegetable Soup

Neopolitan Gooey Cake Bars

Millionaire's Shortbread

Chicken Fried Steak
