Cranberry Cheese Muffins

Cranberry Craze #2

I know I should really be studying for my CENS (Central Eastern Northern European Studies) midterm but I haven't finished my Cranberry Craziness.

It's not that I don't want to study.
To be honest, this course is my favorite out of everything I've taken so far.

What's it about?

Err.. Representations of the Holocaust.

Yes, I know. My idea of "fun" is learning about the actions of Reserve Police Battalion 101 in the General Government of Poland during Aktion Reinhard in '42.

But.. yeah. I think I'll stop there.

1 1/2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
