Sugar Rabbit: Earl Grey & Poppy Seed Muffins w/ Broiled Grapefruit

Hello fellow foodies, crafters and bloggers. It is raining here on my little side
of the world and my puppy naps on my lap while I listen to hellogoodbye.
Things are great. Perfect timing to share this recipe with you. This recipe is great.

I found this recipe saturday night and just knew I had to bake these
Sunday morning. Apparently I wasn't the only one who thought this, I just saw
that Meredith from one sheepish girl just blogged about baking these and she
made the cutest little video to go along with it and I also have to mention the
amazing song that went along with the video. The broiled grapefruit technique
I saw on Pinterest and being a fan of grapefruit, well I had to try them this way,
I'm so glad I did!

I'm not a muffin type of girl, I like them but I'd much rather have a slice of cake
or a frosted cupcake, I love my sugar but sometimes I crave a good old
simple muffin and this one here is perfect earl grey tea and poppy seeds? Amazing.
Paired with a nicely broiled grapefruit? Superb.
