Cranberry-Orange Muffins

This recipe is the latest addition to the Grace's Kitchen menu. These are much better than these that I posted in 2008. This new version uses dried cranberries, so you can serve them year-round. Sorry there's no photo. They are very easy to make (no mixer required) and very tasty—two important attributes. Enjoy!
