This section focuses on quiches and casseroles. These can be a bit more labor-intensive, but they can be made in various ways and is adjustable depending on what you have on hand. For instance, you can add or make whatever cheese sauce you can for the Baked Mac and Cheese and Peas by The Veginner’s Cookbook. When it comes to dinners, casseroles work best because they don’t take long to bake and you can even bake them when you arrive at the party, if possible!

These simple sweets are wonderful to bring along to brunch or for dinner with family or friends. These recipes are great for feeding multiple people and using ingredients you have on hand. Plus, if you need to, you can adjust the flavorings and add-ins for what you do have available. For example, if you don’t have oranges, you could make a chocolate bundt cake instead. But, use your best judgment with doing this, especially with baking.
