Hello friends! With all the heat LA has been getting, we welcomed the cooler weather with open arms and embraced it and everything that comes with it. We are so excited to start posting some really cozy recipes. We are going to start out with this Pumpkin Cornbread recipe, and it goes great with all the chowders and chilis you can imagine!  Stay cozy!

Our pumpkin cornbread is very easy to make and produces soft and fluffy interior, with a slightly dense and chewy exterior. Yum! If you don’t have mini skillets, using a single 8″ cast iron skillet or a lightly greased 8″x 8″ glass baking dish work great!
