I’m starting to make my menu plan for Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning.  I love the combination of orange and cranberry so Cranberry Orange muffins will be making an appearance over the holiday weekend.  These orange-scented tangy muffins were such a hit when I made them yesterday, I quickly made another batch.
