m. is for mexi muffins and french toast...

"To eat well in England, you should have a breakfast three times a day." --W. Somerset Maugham

VintageTeal decided to listen to Mr. Maugham for their weekly dinner gathering. Breakfast for dinner. YUM.  This recipe could possibly be one of the easiest and most satisfying that we have come across to date...Not to mention, it isn't too bad for the waistline{minus the french toast, but we couldn't resist} considering that BATHING SUITS are popping up in stores. What!? Well, anyway, this recipe is great for feeding a crowd at a brunch gathering or prepare it ahead of time before a busy week at work or school. These mexi muffins totally store great in the fridge!
