Wednesday's Chow - Morning Glory Muffins

BRENDA NOVAK'S AUCTION IS OVER FOR 2013!  IT RAISED $335,000, PUSHING HER OVERALL FUND RAISING TO $2,000,000. Thanks to everyone who participated!


I found this little cookbook, TEXAS MORNING GLORY: Memorable Breakfast Recipes from Lone Star Bed and Breakfast Inns, a few years ago and just love it.  I make the Texas Ranger Baked Eggs all the time (find the recipe HERE).  I’ve included it in my Tex-Mex Cookbook Basket available through Friday, May 31st at the Brenda Novak Online Auction for Diabetes Research.  

For your enjoyment, here’s a recipe from The Iron Horse Inn, Grandbury, TX.
