Gluten-Free Cornbread with Jalapeño

Chris made lobsters for dinner the other night so I took care of the sides. I feel like corn or cornbread is a natural pairing with lobster so I made just that, cornbread. I adapted a recipe on the cornmeal bag to be gluten-free and spiced it up with jalapeno pepper.

What do you eat with lobster?


PS: happy 7-11 free slurpee day!

Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Soup

I'm no stranger to the Food Network & have spent much couch time taking in the recipes from (my mother-in-law's fave) the Barefoot Contessa.  After watching her make this soup, I needed to make it.  I jazzed it up with some of my own garnishes.  Click through for easy ways to make a new take on a homemade crouton (hint: it's made from corn bread!) & a simple way to make sage fancy.

Oh & a super huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Dulcie! Love you little lady! Hope this is the best year yet! XO
