I themed my entire meal prep around edible flowers and it backfired SPECTACULARLY

Last Sunday, I foraged a bunch of pansies and nasturtiums to make every dish look like a garden. By Tuesday, my quinoa salad was so floral it tasted like potpourri, and my soup had petals floating in it that my kid thought were bugs. I spent the whole week trying to convince my family that eating flowers is a thing, while secretly tossing most of it. Now my kitchen smells like a funeral home and I have a new respect for SIMPLE ingredients.

Mix flowers into something bland like plain yogurt to balance the flavor. Learned that after my lavender lemonade tasted like soap.

Oh man, you turned your quinoa into a SCENTED candle. That's a culinary crime right there.
