Croissant & Custard Casserole for 2

Today is a very important holiday. I mean, critically important. Yes, it’s Lunar / Chinese New Year, but no, that isn’t it. It’s National Croissant Day! See, told you it was important. 🙂

If you search on hand pies, you’ll find more recipes too.

But, in my attempt to be ever optimistic, I know there is one thing that I can do, and that is bake and baking makes me happy. In the midst of cookie madness, here I am baking crumble bars.
