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.
