If you think cornbread is only for Thanksgiving, think again, lovelies! This humble dish (and sometimes, not so humble) can be the perfect accompaniment to soups and BBQs. It can be an awesome snack when you’re on the go, or it can be the shining star of your table. Any way you cut it (pun totally intended), cornbread is super delicious and should be made more often. Cheers to filling your house with the drool worthy smell of baking cornbread.
