Wow, can you believe that it is only five more sleeps until Christmas? I know how chaotic my life has been lately but I take some comfort in knowing that I am not alone in feeling this way. From reading everyone's blogs I think a lot of us are being pulled in many different directions. Welcome to the silly season (as I like to call it).

Sounds like an interesting flavour combination - thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! They remind me of the pineapple addition to carrot cake.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried this combination before - must give it a go!
ReplyDeleteI would've never thought of such a combo for a muffin or even in general! But now that you have presented it I can definitely see it being yummy! I like your idea of cutting up pineapple chunks or pieces rather than using "crushed" pineapple so that the pineapple is much more present in taste and texture. :-)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Felice!

Oohhh!! I love crushed pineapple! When my son was about 2 there was a muffin with crushed pineapple in it and I think that was about the only thing he at for about a week. I had totally forgotten about it!
ReplyDeleteYep... life is kinda is super busy season, isn't it? I think I'm finally catching up. Today we turned the corner.
Brian has left Hawaii and is no on his way to Philly.. what a difference, huh? Our rain stopped and tomorrow we will have sun!
Ooh what a delicious sounding combination! I don't think I've ever tried pineapple and pumpkin together but it sounds scrumptious! :D
ReplyDeletePulled in many directions? Um, yes!!!
ReplyDeleteThese muffins look and sound great. I never thought to put the two flavors together but I like them both, so why not? I bet they produced a moist muffin.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Felice.
Blessings to you,

These look like a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree!
ReplyDeletePumpkin and pineapple...this is a combination I've never heard of, but I'm now eager to try! Thank you so much for sharing with me. I hope you have a wonderful weekend of family and festivities!
ReplyDeleteI would never think to combine pineapple and pumpkin, but they are 2 of my favorite flavors! I have some leftover pumpkin too, so I may have to try these. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteHappy holidays!
