My Take on the Book
I grew up on different casseroles. Lately, I have not had the opportunity to have many casseroles, but this book will change all of that. As a parent of two I am always looking for ways to make our lives easier, especially when it comes to dinner and I know that casseroles will change that. These casseroles are so varied, and there are so many to choose from. I am particularly looking forward to the Reuben Casserole for one, but there are so many more that look amazing.

On top of the variety I loved that the recipes were filled with healthy ingredients and the book also gave a ton of tips and ideas regarding preparing and freezing what you make.

This book will give you a ton of ideas that you will help you to make some very creative meals for the whole family. You can truly tell that the author loves what she is doing and what she is sharing, and with all that you see and read you are drawn in and and are definitely motivated to start transforming your own family's eating habits!
