Graham Cracker "Conference" Muffins

When it comes to TRADITIONS...it seems like FOOD is present more often then not!

That is especially true of this recipe in my family.

Every General Conference Sunday my mom prepares a Breakfast/Brunch in between the two sessions. This tradition actually started when my mom was in college. She and her roommates every conference would make graham cracker muffins and cheese eggs. And now for 31 years my mom has continued this tradition. I love it! Our breakfast comes with the graham cracker muffins, cheese eggs, bacon and sausage, and a cold glass of OJ!

What a fun tradition, and good time to be together and enjoy food and inspiration!
