Blueberry muffins definitely seem to be the go-to muffin of choice for most people.  I am also a huge fan of lemon poppy seed muffins (or pancakes for that matter), so I thought that adding a bit of the lemon flavor to my blueberry muffins would be a welcome addition to a classic.  Oh holy yum…these were everything I could ever have asked for!  I even added hints of lemon to the glaze topping to increase the YUM factor going on here.

Hope you had a great 4th of July weekend!  My celebration included a little BBQ and some Red, White and Blue Pina Coladas.  I spent my time worrying about the hidden dangers of being blown up by fireworks or catching the house on fire.  Oh man…my focus should have been on warding off pesky mosquitos!  I seriously look like I have the chicken pox…several bites are even on my face.  No, I am not going through puberty again in my 30’s.  Anyway, trimming bushes while watching the neighbors shoot off fireworks in the dark is a dangerous combination.  My brother kept referring to me as “Mommie Dearest” (see Joan Crawford movie with an affliction for trimming bushes in the dark)…LOL!
