I only have one silicone pan, but picked up three silicone cookie and browning sheet at Goodwill. They stain easily, but cook very well. The mini-muffin silicone pan is great for the Swiss-Bacon Bites from Eggface.
I'm teaching my little GKs to work in the kitchen and yesterday my GD and I made a Chocolate cake from the Splenda cookbook. I swapped out the splenda for Whey low. It was my first time baking with whey low and my DH is still raving about it. I think the whey low has 4 cal. per tsp so it isn't calorie free!!! Splenda bakes so darn dry. We also made Eggplant lasagna, and my little GD thought she was great because she got to use a "big" knife to help cut cheese up. We are going to have a GK cooked meal every Thursday from here on out until school is back in session. I found out that they will eat what they make and it helps the 8 y/o with fractions. BOY WHAT A MESSY KITCHEN I HAD! LOL!!!
I will have to look for a silicone muffin pan for the micro. How does the muffins store? I haven't made more than one at a time.
How are your foot and teeth healing? I've got all of these little things that need some kind of medical intervention and they are driving me crazy. I have a partially torn tendon in my left foot, a few big fat hernias, a spur and
torn rotorcuff in my R shoulder, a nagging STUPID DUMB back and a big lump at the top of my sternum that was broken at some time and now is filled with arthritis and hurts like heck. BUT, I'm able to manage and am ALIVE and kicking, so I can't ask for more. Just went to see my oldest grandson get an academic award and a nice luncheon. Pizza and salad.....ate the salad and the pizza topping. I was surprised at how fast the salads went and how many kids I saw eating them. Thrilled in fact. I'm doing the five mile "Race for a Cure" walk on Saturday with my DD, and two GS. I will be walking for my grandmother, my aunt, and my DIL's sister then we are going to celebrate my GS 18th birthday at the Mongolian BBQ. I love that place and they honor my WLS eating card.
I'd like to have one of those muffins right now with a nice cup of tea and my warm down blanket and snooze. GKs are gone, but that darn little Yorkie will not leave me along. He is crying because I won't let him under my blankie!!
