Lemon Poppy Seed Surprise Snack Muffins
"These are perfect little treats for a midnight snack, breakfast, or anytime. They aren't overly sweet and go great with a cup of coffee or milk. Martha White Muffin Mixes are easy to experiment with by adding nuts, cream cheese, berries, raisins, etc. They serve six so you aren't left with a lot of leftovers, and they are very inexpensive."

- Yields:
-
6 muffins
- Serves:
- 6
ingredients
- 1 (7 ounce) package fat free muffin mix, lemon poppy seed
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
directions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Prepare the muffin mix (I used Lemon Poppy Seed Flavor for this recipe) with 1/2 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Blend just until moist with a fork, leave lots of small lumps throughout the dough for best results.
- In a separate bowl blend the cream cheese and sugar.
- Spray a 6 cup muffin tin with non stick cooking spray.
- Evenly distribute the dough into the six cups filling about 2/3's of the way full.
- Gently press about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each muffin. The cream cheese will fall into the center of each muffin as it bakes.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Can serve warm or freeze and serve later, but these are definitely better the next day.

I come from a very large family which attributed to my mother spending a great deal of her time in the kitchen cooking, cleaning, and preparing. I was fascinated at how she prepared wonderful dishes (especially desserts) without using a cookbook. We grew many of our own fruits and vegetables and my summers were spent washing jars and preparing fruit and vegetables for canning. I dreaded the mountains of green beans, tomatoes, peaches, etc., etc. that had to be picked, washed, peeled, snapped.... More than anything, I hated spending my summer washing jars!
But now, I wouldn't trade that kind of upbringing for anything. I'm glad I learned how to do all those things because it's becoming a lost art. It really was a simpler time then and I'm a much better person for knowing how to do all those 'old fashioned' things.
In my early years of learning to cook, I watched Julia Child on PBS every chance I got. I was so thrilled when I was about 11, my mother let me prepare Julia's Pastry Tarts. If I remember correctly they didn't turn out so well but it didn't matter.
Oddly, today, I enjoy reading cookbooks and recipes even more than actually cooking.
