MEYER LEMON AND FRESH CRANBERRY MUFFINS
In a large plastic bag in the reduced produce section of my grocery store I scored 10 lemons for a dollar. There were three Meyer lemons in the mix and I knew that I wanted to do something with them. This recipe only uses 1 lemon, Meyers are best but you could use a regular lemon too. This recipe is from the everyone likes sandwiches blog.

- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
