‘A Cheese Sauce Pour Disaster” Is All We Needed to Hear

Who Ordered Their Pies Well Done?

Sometimes, you underestimate just how much heat the oven is packing and can end up with ash pies (instead of the apple or pumpkin you were attempting).

Remember to Take Off All Packaging

Everyone’s food preference is different. But it’s safe to say most people don’t like their food served with a side of melted plastic...

...Or Covered in Plastic for That Matter

Bye Bye Delicious-Looking Pumpkin Pie

At least when it fell, it did so in a picturesque manner.

Hmmm ... What Could It Be?

Even Seasonings Can Spill

Plenty of people accidentally drop baked goods during the holidays. But seasonings are just as important to a tasty meal — and just as slippery.

Speaking of Seasoning!

It's Really Quite a Common Occurrence

Make Sure You Have All The Right Equipment

You don’t want a can to turn into a can’t.

And Make Sure You Know How to It Properly

Otherwise, things can get a little messy.

Remember to Plug-in Kitchen Equipment, Too

Maybe Next Time, She'll Think Before She Bakes

Because even celebrities can have holiday kitchen mishaps.

That Takes Talent!

There Is Such a Thing as Too Much of a Good Thing

At least that’s true when it comes to heat. You don’t want to fry something to the point of unrecognition.

Don’t Bake It to the Point of Unrecognition Either

For Dessert, We’re Having Slices of We Have No Idea What

Sometimes, an item turns out so totally different from what you expected that you can’t even tell what you were going for in the first place.

That’s Not a Battle You Want to Lose

Always Make the Most of It

It’s hard to be upset with a major kitchen fail when there’s a smiling face staring right back at you.

If You’re Going to Decorate, Go All In

There’s nothing sadder than a gingerbread house that doesn’t come close to living up to its potential.

How Does This Happen?

Ummmm…

They get bonus points for creativity, though, right?

Remember: Don’t Let a Vegan Cook the Turkey

It was a little too late when this Instagrammer realized that letting her vegan daughter cook the bird was maybe a bad idea.

Noted!

One Giant Cookie Is Better Than None!

We'll take the whole thing, actually.

Grilled Chicken Gone Wrong

Just add some barbecue sauce, no problem!

These Are a Little Terrifying!

No Stuffing, Indeed

They’re Both Green, Right?

Quite an Afterthought!

This Instagram post reads: "Afterthought: Why not add green beans to the green bean casserole?
Greatest guest of all time. Not sure what planet she lives on though."

Caption This.

Don't forget to grab the dog and a fork!

Get Out the Sunscreen!

Up in Flames

Did someone ask for marshmallow lava?

Apparently, Yes!

Marshmallows are not as easy to bake as you might think.

Giving Up Before You Even Start

There’s a good chance a pizza delivery was made not long after this turkey was tossed in the trash.

See…

But You Still Might Want a Table for Pizza

You forget how important tables are to a successful holiday experience. Until, of course, they don’t do their jobs very well.

Lastly, Don't Forget to Blow Out the Candles!

Dinner was great and all, but there are still things that need to be done!
