So, I really enjoy baking and cooking. I feel like with a good recipe, I can make pretty much anything.  I like to look through cookbooks and read blogs about cooking... one of my favorites is here.   I also really like Costco muffins... namely the almond poppy seed muffins.  After a little research and some thinking about ingredients, I decided that I would try to duplicate the heavenly Costco muffins.  After looking through several recipes, I decided on this one, found here.   It was the first recipe that I had tried off this blog and I was really excited.  She has some really fun recipes and it seems like she and her family enjoy the results.  They were gross!   I didn't actually do this exact recipe, because in the explanation she talks about how some people like the sour cream base better, so I used her sour cream based recipe instead found here, that shouldn't have made that much of a difference in how they tasted.  I don't know what went wrong, but they were not good.

It is truly sad and also a little embarrassing that I made these to take to bible study on Thursday morning. Poor women who ate these, I know they were gross, I am sorry.  So I am looking for a new recipe for almond poppy seed muffins, if you have one, let me know.  I need to redeem myself!
