Simple Things

My wonderful hubby makes breakfast practically every morning.  He’ll make pancakes, eggs, potatoes, muffins, etc.  I will wash frying pans and pots but I hate washing the muffin pan.  Do muffin pans ever really come clean?  Mine sits on the counter for about 3 days before I attempt the impossible.  Getting the pan into the sink for soaking is a step in the right direction. After about a day of soaking I begin to scrub and after a few minutes I give up and think this time the dishwasher will clean it (even though it hasn’t the last 5 times I put it in there).  The dishwasher makes things worse by baking the food remnants in.  Now even more frustrated I put the pan away to deal with it next time.

As I was walking through the grocery store yesterday something wonderful caught my eye… muffin baking cups.  Why hadn’t I thought of this earlier?  They must have had these here the thousands of other times I have grocery shopped.  How did I miss them?  It didn’t matter I was so excited to purchase these colorfully decorated baking cups.  I love when something so simple brightens my day, makes my life in the kitchen a little less stressful.  Simple things…I hope that I can remember slow down in life a little bit more so I don’t miss the joy that simple things in life give… like muffin baking cups.
