    Cranberry Rosemary Muffins - you're going to love the combination of cranberry, rosemary and orange in these delicious muffins!

    I went to the library and checked out The Herb Society of America's Essential Guide to Growing and Cooking With Herbs. Those of you that know me, know that is Pamspeak for "I went to the library, checked out that book, loved it, and it is now on it's way to me from Amazon."

    Cranberry Rosemary Muffins

    I can't help it. I wasn't expecting it to be filled with recipes. I was planning on doing some spring reading getting ready for the rebirth of my herb garden. But, did I mention the recipes? Did I mention: Polenta Triangles with Rosemary and Walnuts, Ricotta and Herb Frittata, Sage Relish, Cardamom Apples with Bay Leaf Cream? Never again, will I wonder what to make for Weekend Herb Blogging. Never. Again.

    My only herb that is flourishing right now is my rosemary (well that and the chives that are popping up everywhere). So, I settled on Cranberry Rosemary Muffins. Oh my gosh, they were wonderful. Sweet and savory.

      Susan - look for some muffin tins at the resale store!

      Long - yes, it was yum!

      Joanne - I know,I wouldn't have either.

      Joan - oh, that's sad about your rosemary plant. I had a hard time at first, but once mine got big enough, it has no problems now.

      EMama - they did!

      Marjie - yep, working through my cranberry "collection"

      E4H - let me know if you try it.

      Kathy - it really is good.

      Ruth - I'm glad I'm not the only one spends more money after a trip to the library!

      Michelle - I'm going to have to try it more often.

      Ahhhh, these sound wonderful! I'm more of a savory person than a sweet person ( well I AM sweet, but y'all know what I'm sayin') so these sound like they would be right up my alley!

      These sound scrumptious! I will have to make these! But first I must go shopping because my rosemary plant did not survive the winter here so I have no fresh rosemary... boo-hoo. And I believe I will see if our library has the book. It sounds far too interesting to pass up! Thanks again Pam! You're a wonderful resource! =-)

      I wouldn't have thought of putting rosemary in a sweet muffin, but it's nice to know that the flavors meld well. That reminds me, I have some cranberries in the freezer I need to start using...

      Interesting combo! And, of course you used cranberries. I just discovered craisins a couple of weeks ago, and I'm hooked. Just a comment from a kindred cranberry fan!
