This time of year, and only this time of year in this part of Canada, fresh cranberries are sold in the supermarket.
It truly is the most wonderful time of year!
Because of this I decided to stock up on some of these rare treasures, and am realizing they are good
for a lot of things, and are really good for you!

So far I have tried cranberry smoothies.
A little bitter but thinking about all the vitamin C and antioxidants makes the bitter taste enjoyable.

Today I tried these delicious cranberry oatmeal muffins. And oh my are they delicious! It is hard to beat the taste of a fresh cranberry in baking versus a dried one. They just don’t compare.
I also read some health information about other good stuff in cranberries, apparently they contain a type of sugar that is actually good for you!! WHAT? I know I never thought that would be possible, but it's true! You can read more about it here.
Enjoy the season and try something new with this little fruit of wonder!
That looks delicious! Can you please make me a smoothie immediately!?!
