Ricotta Cheese
« on: August 18, 2017, 01:48:35 PM »
I volunteered to make 3 lasagnas for an event.  To save some time, I shopped for all the ingredients yesterday.  However, the brand of ricotta cheese that I wanted to buy wasn't available.  The store brand was cheaper then the other name brand that was available.  Store brands are OFTEN made by name brands with just a littttle bit of a change.  I wanted to see if there was a big difference between the store brand and name brand. 

Name brand:
Ingredients: Whey, Milk, Vinegar, and Xanthan Gum, Locust Bean Gum, Guar Gum...

My first thought... OMG!  When I fed canned food to my furkids, I avoided those ingredients!! 

I'll never look at lasagna the same again.   Silly7

Take some cottage cheese and throw it in the blender:

I knew I could substitute cottage cheese, but don't want to.   Silly7
