I’m just a bit of a purest, things need to be a certain way for it to be a certain thing, not saying you aren’t doing a good job making dinner you do what you can with what you have. I get triggered every time I see anything put into a martini glass called a martini, you made a new thing give it a new name.
It could also be that my mother made six different casseroles all called Susie’s special, she had five kids to feed on a limited budget, she also procrastinated a lot so dumping things together and baking it was quick and easy.
I usually do use mozzarella for my lasagna. This was a case I had to use what I had since the mozzarella got eaten by my grandson and making the pizza the night before.
If it hadn’t been for the cheese hound that is my grandson, I would have been okay 😂. We buy him a package of string cheese sticks and he kills them in 2-3 days, then starts in on my shredded cheese.
Oh and btw, I only buy certain name brand things such as Philly cream cheese for my cheesecake, or Ragu spaghetti sauce for spaghetti or lasagna. Otherwise it’s either generic/ store brand or homemade. I even try to make homemade bread over store bought, but it tend to last a day versus a loaf from the store.
