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.

Miso-Braised Beef with King Mushrooms
As much as I love a traditional beef stew, or braised beef short ribs, I like to shake things up sometimes by applying the same techniques to a few non-traditional ingredients. This melt-in-your-mouth, miso-braised beef dish is cold-weather comfort food at its finest. Miso adds an extra-savory element, balanced with a touch of maple syrup, which further enhances the autumnal feel. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
