Oops! Easy Clean Up Tip


My family loves eggs.  We consumed them even when they were on the "Bad" food list.  Now that eggs are on the "Good" list again, we can eat eggs without feeling judged by the food police.

Cooking more eggs means there are more chances for me to drop one or two.  I really try hard not to, but some how I am always making a mess in the kitchen.  Eggs make a big mess when dropped on the floor.

One morning as I was fixing breakfast, my Mom called.  I dropped an egg and complained to my Mom about how hard it was to clean up egg from the floor.  She told me to sprinkle about 3 tablespoons of salt over the egg and let it set for a couple of minutes, then whipping it up will be easier.  I always do what my Mom tells me (well not always, but don't tell her that), so I followed her directions.

It was amazing!  Instead of the slimy egg moving all over the floor, I was able to wipe it up easily.  Unfortunately, I have used this tip several times since that phone call. 

On Friday I will post my recipe for,
Tuna Noodle Casserole.

  8. This is a great tip, so then when you scrape it up and back into the pan, it is already seasoned. Then you just have to tell the kids they are getting scramble eggs instead of fried.

    What? Why is everyone looking at me like I'm a horrible person? ha ha

    Great tip.
