Cabot's Plain Greek Style Yogurt is absolutely wonderful! The price is right, too....much less expensive that Fage. Trader Joe's brand yogurt is also very good....especially the Honey flavoured. I like plain yogurt with a dollop of lemon curd....YUMMY!

Fage is fine but way too expensive.....rather make it myself than pay that amount. Oixos and Chobani, not so much.

i completely botched a pineapple upside down cake. too much butter and too much pineapple led to a buttery pineapple mess... too bad cause i know its a good recipe.

My most recent baking mistake: Making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and forgetting the oatmeal. It took an embarrassingly long time to figure out what was missing!
Not baking, per say, but the olive oil story reminded me of a time when I tried to make Annie's mac and cheese without butter. I substituted EVOO instead thinking it would taste the same (stupid). It was hands down the most disgusting pasta I've ever had.

French Bread. It never rose, it smelled weird and ended up baking into a puddle. Ate it anyway.

We ordered a store-bought cake when my mom received her masters degree in writing. As we were putting the candles on, we realized it read "Congrulations!". We decided the misspelling was highly appropriate for the celebration...

I was making a batch of biscotti, and underbaked the dough the first time. So after it came out of the second bake...I had stale, rock-hard biscotti. stale, rock-hard INEDIBLE biscotti. I haven't tried attempting to make them again.

After our first child was born my wife made me a birthday cake. She left the completed cake on the kitchen counter and went to tend to our barely 2 week old daughter.

Upon returning to the kitchen she saw the remains of the cake being devoured by our 1.5 year old Basset Hound.

My wife sat down and cried, then proceeded to make another cake.

It was a horrible happening but a memory we always share.

making a vegetable oil pie crust

Using olive oil in a brownie recipe. Definitely not a good thing.

My friend and i were making chocolate cupcakes and right when i was about to put the pan into the oven, i tripped and i got chocolate cake batter all over me and the oven. So we had half a batch of cupcakes and after we frosted them, and put them all in a nice container, they all fell over and we had a big chocolate frosting/cupcake glob in the container

Our family's classic cake wreck story: my brother's graduation cake was ordered from a bakery that was also hired to create our wedding cake. The graduation cake arrived and we tried and tried to cut through it, but we kept hitting something hard. Trying not to tear the cake up, we carefully cut away cake to find a LARGE serrated knife had been left in the raspberry filling layer of the cake. No discount was given for that error, but my Mom did get to keep the knife as a souvenir!

....a quick cake need....to find I was half a cup short of flour with everything else ready to go

all i'm saying is that salt does not equal sugar in a cake recipe
