These muffins are a great way to use leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving! They are so soft and fluffy and so delicious with the roasted pecans on top. The sugar amount needed depends on how sweet your cranberry sauce is. You can go up to 1/2 cup if the leftover cranberry sauce is on the tart side.

Becky's Healthier Ham and Cheese Quiche
I have been on a permanent quest to find the perfect eggbeater quiche recipe. As a self-professed breakfast food, cheese, and egg lover, quiche represents all that is right and good in a culinary concoction. Traditionally quiche is not a healthy option, what with all the cream and cheese that typically goes into it. I have experimented with different versions of a healthier quiche for years, but a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled upon the perfect mixture, and I am pleased to share it here with all of you.

Lion's Head Meatballs
These lion's head meatballs really are melt-in-your-mouth. Serve this soup as-is or with noodles added to the bowl.

The look of this crinkled-up napa cabbage in the rich broth reminded the inventors of this dish of a lion's mane.
