I woke up this morning in a summer mood. I yearned for that summer mood where you long for a nice book to read poolside and the feeling of sunbeams roasting your skin. Unfortunately for me, winter is still here and the pool is nowhere near ready for company. However, the one place that always seems to fulfill my seasonal desires is the kitchen. Flavors have a sense of bringing me into summer whether summer is ready for me or not.

Lemons are the summer of my kitchen. No matter where I am or what the weather may bring, lemons can always bring summer into my home. Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins to be exact! And today the Skinny Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin seems to suffice my desire for summer. I hope this lemon poppy seed muffin recipe will suffice yours as well!
