Never scrub your microwave again!

20130402-202656.jpgDo you feel like Cinderella while scrubbing your microwave? Me too! I feel like I’m in a game of Twister trying to get things off the roof of it.

Well…scrub no more! Use this simple method brought to you by http://www.onegoodthingbyjillee.com/2012/06/how-to-clean-and-shine-your-microwave.html and clean it via vinegar magic. Vinegar and baking soda are sure some magical ingredients in various household uses, aren’t they?!

“Pour one cup vinegar (into a 2-cup measuring cup or bowl) then add one cup of hot water to that.
Place measuring cup (or bowl) in the microwave, set your timer for approximately 10 minutes and turn it on.
After 5-10 minutes (this will depend on how powerful your microwave is)…CAREFULLY remove the cup with the HOT liquid (use an oven mitt!) and wipe out the inside with a wet rag.

A CAUTION: If you’re worried about explosions over superheated liquid, you can virtually eliminate the possibility of it happening to you by simply leaving some non-metallic object (such as a wooden spoon or stir stick) in the cup or bowl when you boil liquids in your microwave. It may not be necessary, but it won’t hurt anything either. Safety first!”

Bacon Eggs and Toast all rolled into one dirty pan!

bacon-egg-toast-cups-3646I LOVE recipes that require the least amount of dishes when I’m done and this one takes away 2 frying pans and a toaster by only requiring a muffin pan.

 

You can get creative and use sausage or ham, or even make it a vegetarian dish with imitation egg and omitting the meat.

Pampered Chef has a regular muffin tin as well as my favorite, the mini muffin tin which makes perfect bite-sized servings. I’m a pretty messy eater but I have a huge mouth, so being able to stuff the whole thing in without dripping all over myself is a plus! http://new.pamperedchef.com/search-browse-results

Prep Time: 15 min Serves: 12
Cooking Time: 25 min Yield: 12 cups

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Spray 12 standard muffin cups.
3. With a rolling pin, flatten bread slices slightly and, with a 4 1/4-inch cookie cutter, cut into rounds. Cut each round in half, then press 2 halves into each muffin cup, overlapping slightly and making sure bread comes up to edge of cup. Use extra bread to patch any gaps. Spray bread with spray butter.
4. In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium, until almost crisp, 4 minutes, flipping once. (It will continue to cook in the oven.)
5. Lay 1 bacon slice in each bread cup
6. Scramble eggs and fill cups. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in cheese.
7. Bake until egg just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Run a small knife around cups to loosen toasts. Serve immediately.
Standard muffin pans come in 6- or 12-cup size; if baking 6 items in a 12-cup pan, leave empty space in between. Nonstick pans are nice but not essential. Beware of very thin pans, which often lead to burning. Place pans on a baking sheet to make them easier to get in and out of the oven. Or buy a Pampered Chef stoneware pan and cook evenly every time and without the need for nonstick spray.
