Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

This little recipe came out of a Gooseberry Patch cookbook.  It’s the perfect little spring/summer muffin.  I have a deep love affair with all things pumpkin and lemon….pumpkin for fall and lemon for spring.  This recipe is so quick, so simple and so versatile, you’ll be having muffins in minutes.
