"Kathy Strahs nails it with her weeknight-friendly 'square meals'. The 8x8 dish is not only the perfect size for my busy family, but it's also just right for freeze-ahead meals and potlucks with friends. We could eat these dishes every night of the week!" - Catherine McCord, Author of Weelicious and Weelicious Lunches
