Muffin Pan

A Muffin Pan is very useful for many things more than just Muffins!  This combo is my solution to a non-stick Muffin Pan/ Silicon Muffin Pan.  Not to mention Silicon pans are a pain in the butt to get in and out of the oven without spilling unless you use a baking tray too.

You will never need to grease the cups and the reusabe-ness of these Silicon liners are very eco friendly!

I use my Muffin Pan for making Paleo friendly Mini Quiche, when I am not making yummy Gluten Free cupcakes!

Sauce Pot

So there are 2 types of Sauce Pots I would recommend.

Although I do not own either of these specifically here are my thoughts...

The Le Creuset set would cover both the Cast Iron and Sauce Pot needs.  Other than the color matching other Le Creuset items you may have this pot has a light colored enamel which is important when making sauces or browning buttery things.

If a simpler model is what you are looking for the Sur La Table Sauce Pot is a good choice, or any Stainless Steal Sauce Pot of about this size.  Again not being black inside is important.

I use this type of pot for making oatmeal, boiling eggs, sauces etc...

Fry Pan

Ok ok... I know I said "never be afraid of Stainless Steal" but a good non-stick is really useful too!

I make eggs galore in this pan!  It is the perfect size for omelets or a few fried eggs.  Having a back-up pan for quick sautéing is useful as well.

Sauté Pan

Don't be afraid of the Stainless Steel, no need for Non-Stick in a Sauté Pan!!  The trick is LOW HEAT and nothing will stick!

There are higher quality Sauté Pans out there, ones with copper cores etc... however I have found this one to be the right size and perfect for all my sautéing needs.

Cast Iron Skillet

A good Cast Iron skillet is essential!  Lodge Logic makes great ones, I go with the small or medium, perfect size for bacon etc...

Stock Pot

This is a great stock pot by Le Creuset.  It is just the right size,  reasonably priced, and very sturdy, as Le Creuset is known to be.

Mom's Applesauce

This is my mom's Applesauce recipe!  I substituted the sugar for honey to keep this Paleo friendly.
This is a fast go-to recipe that goes good with just about anything.

No Pasta Lasagne

This was amazing!  I didn't miss the pasta at all, and neither did my "People".

I served this with a simple spinach salad and homemade Applesauce.
