Sometimes inspiration strikes us as well as nosotros only select to become alongside it correct at that real moment. No waiting. Just correct then. Like for me alongside these Glazed Poppy Seed Muffins alongside Strawberry Butter.

These tasty picayune beauties are inspired past times a tea room inwards my town called Chantilly's Tea Room. And ane time I decided to brand them, I was compelled to produce it that real day.

See, at Chantilly's Tea Room, they select y'all a picayune plate of cute as well as tasty mini poppy seed muffins equally presently equally y'all are seated at your table. Just similar other restaurants select y'all breadstuff or rolls ... Chantilly's brings y'all adorable picayune muffins.

Served alongside strawberry butter.

It's such a wonderful combination.

And thence inspiration struck me on the twenty-four hours that I was at Chantilly's alongside some friends celebrating the retirement of ane of our co-workers. Our waitress brought us our plates of adorable picayune poppy seed muffins alongside strawberry butter ... as well as I idea to myself, "Hey, I tin brand these alongside my Mom's poppy seed tea bread recipe. And I'm certain I tin figure out how to whip upwards a uncomplicated strawberry butter!"

And thence I did. As presently equally I got home.

Now, why this minute of inspiration strikes me equally thence funny is this wasn't the showtime fourth dimension I'd been to Chantilly's Tea Room. Not past times a longshot. I've been a lot. Like quite a lot.

The showtime fourth dimension I went was for my bridal luncheon nine years ago. Nine years ago.

See? Here's me as well as my Mom as well as my Gram at Chantilly's for my luncheon ...

But for some argue inwards all the times I've been throughout nine years, inspiration didn't smasher me until now.

And as well as then I couldn't wait.

You would intend afterwards having not been inspired for over nine years, I could await a picayune piece longer, wouldn't you?

But I couldn't. And I didn't.

And that real evening, ... only a mere nine years afterwards having them for the showtime fourth dimension ... my married adult man as well as I were enjoying tea room-inspired Glazed Poppy Seed Muffins alongside Strawberry Butter at home.
