Casseroles dishes are not just formaking dinner casseroles. They are great for baking all types ofdesserts. Whether you want to make a recipe from scratch or upgrade amix, you will find delicious desserts for everyone. Fruit cobblers,crisps, crumbles, cakes and puddings are some of the recipesincluded. I like to use leftover items to make desserts. If you havetoo much bread, make bread pudding. When you have excess milk, make acreamy pudding. Fruit going bad on the counter, make a fruit cobbleror crisp.

I cook with everyday ingredients. Irarely buy specialty ingredients. If a recipe calls for a specialtyingredient, I usually look for other recipes. The ingredients inthese recipes are commonly available at the grocery store.

I like to buy items that have multiplepurposes. Casserole dishes can be used in many ways. All yourfavorite casserole dishes are included. One quart, 2 quart, 11 x 7and 9 x 13 casserole dishes are all used in the recipes. I highlyrecommend investing in a quality set of casseroles dishes. I preferdishes that have lids so I do not have to use aluminum foil. A lot ofdishes have lids to store in the refrigerator after they are cooledand I really love them.

Fruit cobblers, crisp and crumbles areeasy to make year round. You can substitute frozen or canned fruitfor fresh fruit in most recipes. These desserts are comforting,familiar and leaves you with a warm feeling. These are the dessertsmy mother and grandmothers made that always made us feel loved.
