ReplyDeleteI have already printed out your recipe...looks so delicious and can't wait to make some!
I have a bag of Cranberries in the freezer and didn't know what I could make with them...and now all I need is the cream cheese...I've got that on my grocery list for next weeks shopping.
I always buy a 6 pack of muffins each week for Jack to take to work and share with the guys. Looks like they're going to get some good Homemade Muffins next week!
Thank You and Chelle for sharing.
