Cranberry Apple Muffins

Autumn is the season of certain flavours and scents and one of my favourites is cranberries. Today, I combine cranberries and apples to give an aroma of warmth throughout the house. My Cranberry Apple Muffins are a sweet afternoon treat.   What is your favourite?  Whatever it is, make the most from seasonal bounties and call your family and friends to the table.  

On a cool or rainy Autumn afternoon you can find me sitting, writing and listening to some musicals.  Today Phantom of The Opera plays in the background.  It is the rhythm of the music that guides my hands across the keyboard.  Each stroke with passion, each word with meaning and the notes dig deeper into the heart of this story.  As the kitchen fills with the aromas of cinnamon, I continue to put words on a page.  I share some of my stories with you, but some are only for my soul and spirit.
