Pumpkin Cornbread

 I received a box of pumpkin cornbread as a gift and was not sure about how it would taste. And my family was a little skeptical when I served it with dinner, but after one bite we all agreed it was fantastic.

It was so fantastic that I commented how I wanted to try and make it homemade, no box mix. My husband was less than thrilled with that comment and mentioned to the girls they better get ready to try a bunch of pumpkin cornbreads. I guess that is life with a food blogger and someone who likes to make things homemade.

Luckily my first attempt at pumpkin cornbread was a winner. I will admitted I looked at many recipes and read way too many comments. But it all paid off because this cornbread tasted just like the boxed one I had previously made.
