I'm always on the lookout for healthy, kid-friendly recipes, and the ones from my friends at Stop & Shop never fail to disappoint.  The company recently sent me a fabulous Mother's Day gift basket filled with practically everything I'll need to make these scrumptious-sounding Banana Cranberry Muffins.  Now I just have to find the time to make them, which really shouldn't be hard with a toddler and newborn at home, right?  In the meantime, I thought it only fair to share the recipe with all of you!  Enjoy, and Happy Mother's Day!
