Give Thanks... For Pumpkin!

Pumpkin is the flavor of fall. 

But, did you know pumpkin is not only a seasonal flavor? WHAT?! You may be saying. It's true! Pumpkin can be grown year-round. So, don't wait until October and November to enjoy this fiber packed ball of deliciousness! To give you an excuse to eat more pumpkin, here is my new favorite cornbread recipe. Simple and ready in no time, it is a sure fire winner in our house! Enjoy!

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
3. In a small bowl, combine the wet ingredients and whisk to combine.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined.
5. Pour into an 8x8 baking dish sprayed w/ non-stick cooking spray.
