Orange Cranberry Muffins

I love swapping recipes with family and friends. It is always great to share what works for you and your family with others. That is why I love sharing all my recipes so much with others. I get pure joy from hearing that others really enjoyed my recipes that I have put out into the world.

This recipe comes to me via a friend, Jen. She made a huge batch for her 4 kids and said it was a complete hit! I had some cranberries in the freezer, so I decided to give it a whirl. I loved them. I love the tanginess the cranberries give to the muffins!

It is always amazing to swap recipes with friends because you never know which recipes, like this one, will be worth gossiping about!
