The holiday season is coming upon us and that means its time to hit the kitchen. Thinking back to my childhood one of my favorite side dishes was my mom’s homemade cornbread. What I love about her cornbread was she added a little heat to it. Now that I’m older and have my own family I love making this fall side dish for my family! Recently, when I was at a trade show purchasing for Elusive Cowgirl Boutique I came across these cute Ganz measuring spoons. Somehow these high quality decorative measuring spoons make cooking more fun. The first thing I made with them was this Spicy Jalapeño Cornbread. I hope you have fun making this fall time favorite!
