DELICIOUS THINGS COME IN SQUARE PACKAGES
Getting dinner on the table just got a whole lot easier, thanks to The 8x8 Cookbook: Square Meals for Weeknight Family Dinners, Desserts, and More--In One Perfect 8x8-inch Dish, now available on Amazon and other retailers.
With The 8x8 Cookbook, author and food blogger Kathy Strahs elevates the simple 8x8-inch square baking dish into a dinnertime secret weapon for busy families. Beyond the usual brownies and casseroles, the passionate force behind the blogs Panini Happy and Cooking on the Side has created 64 modern “square meals”: easy weeknight one-dish meals such as Honey-Glazed Chicken with Root Vegetables, Sunday dinner recipes like Spinach-Pesto Lasagna, tasty recipes for sides such as Chard Apple Stuffing that would make a nice addition to the Thanksgiving table, brunch fare including Orange Custard French Toast, and Croissant Bread Pudding with Espresso Butterscotch Sauce for dessert.
