Your gaze stops and fixates on the most glorious thing on your plate. Behold! A perfect golden-brown, crumbly slice of Thanksgiving Cornbread, nice and warm and straight from the oven. Then, you take a bite — it's begging you to. It's sweet, it's salty, it's pumpkin-y, it's basically melting in your mouth. Your love for your people is stronger than ever and you're filled with gratitude. You'll remember this one for a long time. And for that, Thanksgiving Cornbread will always be there to help you reminisce on all the blessings you've been given!
