Chocolate Chip Craisin Muffins

These muffins are crazy good!

Who doesn't love Craisins?! 

They're so good. 

I love to put them in salads, 

trail mix, or just eat them by the handful.

When I was at the grocery store yesterday

and my four-year-old dragged me to the bakery

to ask politely for a cookie, 

I had my eye on these cranberry muffins...

But we all know, Homemade is Better!

So today I decided to whip up a 

small batch of tasty homemade muffins.

and juicy green beans that even the pickiest eaters will eat.

All-in-all it's a good "meat & potatoes" dish 

for those busy fall weeknights.
