You people are going to hate me. But I just saw that these spring-like temperatures will be dropping to frigid temps on Thursday night and Friday. Which means soup weather isn’t over.
I think you likely have a good soup recipe, but I have the perfect cornbread. And I mean PER. FECT. It’s a sweet one, so if you like savory, move on along. If you like dessert, then you’ll love this one.
