DH says, let's make lasagna! I say, um, but we have no cottage cheese. DH says, no problem! Half and hour later, he's got a pot full of bechamel sauce with cheese curds. Yes, that he made from scratch. And yes, it totally worked to make awesome lasagna-tasting lasagna.
Now he's just made experimental brownies with a secret ingredient. It's an ingredient we don't normally buy because none of us like it, but someone gave us a jar and we're moving, so it's time to use things up. The ingredient contains oil, eggs, and corn syrup (also vinegar, but he added baking soda to neutralize it). They taste like brownies with something else, maybe peanut butter? I'll let you guess what the secret ingredient was, but he used HALF THE JAR and the stuff is white.

Obviously getting a new job has unleashed some creativity...
