I love finding recipes that are different from the norm. Perfect for Thanksgiving Day morning while you are watching the parade, this muffin recipe adds the surprise of rosemary for a subtle and intriguing twist. The lemon zest and spices are the perfect touch of zing. Yummy with your morning coffee, afternoon tea, or anytime in between. For a deliciously different dessert you could cut them in half and top with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce...mmmm! Rosemary-Polenta Pumpkin Muffins
