Makeovers...

For your left overs of course! I don't know why but it is always the cranberry sauce that is left over in our apartment after Thanksgiving.

Its the Monday after and we still have a container full! Mainly because Rene does not like it that much but I can't have my turkey meal without it..so that lead me to a super easy makeover for the side dish!

Cranberry Muffins! I figured why not make a basic muffin and rather than blueberries why not make it with cranberry sauce?!

Megan's Made-Over Cranberry Muffins

• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup sugar
