Back in November whilst we were traveling my husband and I decided that our joint theme for 2019 would be purposeful living. For me this means a lot of things, but one key thing I’ve decided to do is not fill my life with things that do not have a purpose. (I’m not treating purpose and practical as synonyms, but purpose as in meaning for me.) With that in mind I have been purging some things and on the flip side also keeping a running list of some things I feel will enhance our lives.
On my list — now that I am cooking for two almost exclusively — was some smaller baking dishes. I found these cute mini pie plates at Walmart and some cloth napkins in prints that make me happy. (I used a gift card to pay for these.) They’re from the Pioneer Woman line.
There was also a small set of two pots / casserole dishes that I liked. They were perfectly sized for fitting in my new air fryer oven, but I balked at paying $20 for them. I decided to keep using my cake pans even though in the back of my head I’ve been worried about messing up my favorites.
When my daughter and I were out at Goodwill looking for something totally unrelated, I decided to look through the kitchenware. I found two Wilton egg shaped pans. They’re the perfect size for my air fryer oven and the perfect size for a casserole or dish for two people. Not only do I not have to worry about my cake pans, but I paid $1.69 a piece for these. A frugal win!
(I realize they aren’t floral and all pretty, but in this case I was willing to trade the pretty for the practical.)
Oh, what neat finds at both places, Shara. I love the Pioneer Woman line as they just add something beautiful to the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteSizing down your bakeware is a great idea. I need to do that also! Pretty finds BTW!
