Mrs. C Does Stuff

So, I know it has been a while since my last post.  A lot has been going on in my world.  We are working on a few major projects and have some big news coming ahead.  As a result of all that is going on, I will most likely be posting less frequently in an attempt to keep my head above water.

So, after years of experimenting with this one, I think I have finally figured it out. Ingredients: 2 eggs 12 slices of bread 3/4 cup of milk 1/2 cup sugar cinnamon butter (for the skillet, about 1/4 cup needed) Crack the two eggs into the container.  It works best if you use a square container to do this because the bread fits in it better.  I actually use one of my mother's Tupperware dishes that I never returned.  :)  It's perfect ...
