Pinterest Baked Cheese Stick FAIL

I really had high hopes for this one.  Just look at that glorious photo....

I should have known better.  First off, I did not use bread crumbs.  I opted for panko.  That will make it even better, I say to myself.  Also, we are out of parmesan cheese so I use some old parm packets from Gattis or some random pizza place.  I keep noticing these packets have an "off" smell.  Can parm go bad?  Haha, did you even have to ask?

Anyways, I follow most of the directions and tadaaa!!

Really?

Ugh, they did not taste very good either.  I blame the parmesan and me.

I had such a laugh about how terrible they turned out so I created this to post to Pinterest:

At least I can laugh about my failure.  Ok NEXT project!
