Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Being that we're entering the weekend, I thought I'd share a great recipe for something to make on a Saturday or Sunday for brunch: Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins!  I am usually not a huge muffin fan, but ever since I was a kid, I've loved these muffins - they're not overly sweet, and the subtle taste of lemon is so delicious! This recipe yields a perfect dozen which is great for figuring out how many muffins you want to make....I mean in our house there is only 2 of us, so I'd half this recipe to make the right amount for us!
