    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

Easy casseroles will never go out of style. Whether it's a timeless favorite, like a tuna-noodle casserole, or an inspired take on a classic, such as our Green Bean Casserole with Bacon, these recipes are sure to satisfy every palate from sunrise to sunset. Start the day with a French toast casserole—then, at dinnertime, opt for a casserole side dish or main.

But why are easy casseroles so popular? Well, they're always comforting to eat—and filling to boot. Plus, most can be prepped ahead and baked when you need them. Better yet, you serve right from the dish the casserole is made in, meaning less cleanup when the meal is through. They're also generally light on the budget.

Making French toast casserole is so much easier than standing at the stove flipping each slice one by one. We used rich, buttery brioche for this dish. It will absorb the custard as it soaks overnight.
