got me looking so Craisin love

I think I would like to go to the Ocean Spray cranberry bog, as featured in harvesting commercials. It seems like a fun adventure to wade amongst cranberries and I am incredibly fond of Craisins.

As I was snacking on handfuls of Craisins the other day, I noticed a recipe for Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chunk Cookies on the back of the bag and decided it was time to eat some more Craisins bake some cookies.


The tart cranberries and sweet white chocolate are a most satisfying mix. And with the antioxidant rich Craisins and heart-healthy oatmeal, I say these pass for breakfast. And, indeed, I have that sort of authority.
