^^^ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I have the same Corelle dishes that my mom used when my brother and I were kids, and that I got from her when I moved into my first apartment (22 years ago). Several sizes of plates, some cereal bowls, and at least one casserole dish.

I put away my Corelle plates somewhere, but I have a big stack of the cereal bowls handy. They are so useful in cooking, e.g. prepping ingredients and small mixing jobs, and you can so easily load a whole bunch of them in the dishwasher without worry of chips. I have some of the blue and the green from the 70s, plus some more recent ones that have blue and green stripes around the edge. They are great dishes, I like them too. ---
