    This Pumpkin Cornbread is the perfect combination of two of my favorite things! Simple to make, lightened up and loaded with fall flavors.

    I have to thank Trader Joe's for inspiring me to make this recipe.  I was browsing through my favorite store and I saw a box of pumpkin cornbread on the shelf and I knew I had to make something like that at home.

    This recipe has a bit more of a pumpkin taste than a cornbread taste.  You can omit the pumpkin spice and vanilla if you'd like it to be more savory.  That's up to you, but this is how I like it.  

    It's pretty moist (man I hate that word), but you get the idea.   Oh yeah, it's vegan and has no refined sugars either! Sorry Trader Joe's….

    If you are looking for more healthy pumpkin recipes, you will love these No Bake Pumpkin Spice Donut Holes, No Bake Pumpkin Cheesecake Bars, Pumpkin Filled Crepes and definitely my Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie with Pecan Crust.

    All of these would be even more yummy with some Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate, Apple Chai Latte and definitely some Spiked Apple Cider.

    Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!

    Our Trip To Disney

    We just got back from Disney.  It was so incredibly fun.  And so unbelievably exhausting.  We probably walked 10-15 miles a day!  

    The weather was perfect and my kids had a blast.  It really was the perfect family vacation.

    The weather was gorgeous. Every single day.  It was in the high 70's and sunny during the day and cooler at night.  

    We waited to bring the kids to Disney until my youngest turned 5 years old so he could go on all the rides.  And boy did he!  

    He wanted to go on Space Mountain and Tower of Terror multiple times.  If you haven't taken your kids there yet, start saving for it.  It's worth it!  

    But did I mention how exhausted I am?  I need a vacation from that vacation!

    That's my 5 year old sitting next to me.  He was laughing the whole time!  Check out my older two sitting in front of him.  

    You'd never know how much fun they were having from this picture.  Oh, and Disney is decorated for Christmas! It felt a little early since it's only the beginning of November (and it was so hot out!) but it was beautiful and definitely got me in the spirit.

      Absolutely delicious! I made it to go along with another dish that we had but I'll admit, I ate this just by itself because it was that good!
