The Story:
I cannot tell you how much chocolate, peppermint and eggnog I have had in the last week. I thought it was time to introduce my taste buds to a few other flavors that aren’t so prominent around Christmas time.
Almond Poppy Seed Muffins:
3 eggs
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup + 1/8 cup vegetable oil
½ cup applesauce
1 cup milk
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 cups flour
1 ½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 ½ tablespoon poppy seeds
Almond Filling:
¼ cup butter, softened
¾ cup sugar
1/3 cup oats, chopped in blender
2 teaspoon almond extract
sliced raw almonds
turbinado sugar
yields 20 muffins
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line or spray muffin pans.
2. Almond Filling: Beat butter, sugar, oats and almond extract until combined.
3. Muffin Batter: In a large bowl with a wooden spoon, gently combine eggs, sugar, oil, applesauce, milk, vanilla and almond extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and poppy seeds.
5. Slowly combine dry and wet ingredients using the wooden spoon to mix. Stir only until moistened. There will still be lumps, but stop stirring!
6. Fill pans ¾ full.
7. Form little balls of the almond filling (about the size of 1 teaspoon) and push them into each cup of batter.
8. Top with sliced, raw almonds.
9. Bake for 17-25 minutes, or until an inserted knife comes out clean. Seven minutes into baking, sprinkle tops with turbinado sugar to give them an extra sweet crunch on top.
10.Let cool for 5 minutes in pans and move to cooling racks.

For every health issue we must have to choose a right kind of treatment at right time. If you are troubled with erection problem then this is the right time to order generic Viagra.

Bamboo typically has tall, slender, woody stems known as culms, which can vary in height depending on the species. Some species can grow up to 100 feet (30 meters) tall, while others are much shorter.
The stems are segmented by nodes and internodes, giving bamboo its distinctive jointed appearance.
Leaves are generally long and narrow, growing alternately along the stems. They vary in size and shape depending on the species.
