Little Miss Pink Lady...

Let me just say, I think it was a fabulous idea to come out with a line of pink kitchen-aid products because not only are they so cute....but they support such a wonderful cause. This is my new friend, Pink Lady. She came to me in the form of a Wedding Gift in 2007 (yes, I am ashamed to admit she has been in her box anxiously waiting for me to open her up and introduce her to some friends (The Stand Mixer, Silver Fox, and Big Red, the Food Processor, whom you have previously met) :) This is also very exciting to me because it was the ONLY pink electric kitchen gift I was allowed to register for. (Remember, The Husband has been the Chef and the sole cook in the household until very recently) So, I totally understood that he didn't want have all these girly pink utensils spread through-out the kitchen. I convinced him if I could register for the PINK mixer, then I would be more inclined to use it, at least once a month. Yeah, that obviously never happened...but the positive side is that NOW I am ready to learn! ;)
Well, today I was ready to break her out and put her little arms to good use! I had a craving for Banana Nut Muffins and I remembered I bought a box a couple of months ago. Betty Crocker...here I come!

It was quite simple, just follow the directions and mix away. That sounds easy enough, until the egg shell fell right into the center of the ingredients! I proceeded to use everything I could to fish out the intruder. Whew...that was a lot harder than I expected, it kept slipping off of the spoons and through my fingers. Finally, after a couple of minutes of curse words and panicking I got the little sucker! Pink Lady, do your thang!
I poured the mixture into the little silcone cups (then I licked that yummy batter off every square inch of those beaters and the bowl) and stuck it into the oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, I stuck a toothpick in the middle of a muffin (a little advice per the Hubby) and Voila!

Look how amazing those look! Do you notice something else about this picture?? Yes, you got it! My silicone cupcake tray is PINK too! Don't know how I snuck this past The Husband ;)

They turned out to be very good and moist, despite the drama with the egg shell. I am going to Kroger tomorrow and buying one of every muffin flavor! Practice makes perfect, right?
