That doesn't work for me because part of the issue is the number of servings I get at the end and the size of the cooking container. Example: random veggie casserole calls for 1 pound frozen broccoli, 1 pound frozen caulflower, 1 medium onion, 3 stalks celery, and a bunch of other stuff (rice, cheese, spices, breadcrumbs, etc.).

Frozen veg is now mostly bagged at 3/4 of a pound instead of a full pound (same with certain pasta). While I can theoretically use 1.5 bags or reduce other measures by 25%, I don't want a bunch of half-bags in the freezer -- and if I make a casserole that's 75% the size... well, I don't have a 75% sized casserole dish so it still has to bake in the dish I've used to decades, but now as a sad thin version of what it ought to be -- and it typically dries out while cooking (if I don't try to fix it).

Fair :3

I just can't be bothered to go dig out more ingredients if a recipe says 400g of butter and the packages are 180g each or smth lol
