Lemon - Poppyseed Bread (or Muffins)...from a cake mix

I opted to make muffins from this recipe that has been in my files for many years. 

This page is well worn and greasy in my 'write out your own recipes' cookbook.

I love the combo of lemon and poppy seed...and if you love the flavor of lemon, look out.

This one's gonna leave you wanting for more. 

Using a simple cake mix, these can be ready to eat in less than an hour. 

L-L-L-L-LUSCIOUS!!!
