Thanks to the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association (NFRA) for making these Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins possible. My comments, opinions and my love of Fall flavors are my own!

The holidays are almost here, a time when we hope to spend quality time with friends and family. Fall flavors are all around us, cranberries, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, squash, ginger, apples, pears, maple, turkey, and more.

It's during these times I like to pay special attention to making sure I have my fridge and freezer stocked up with the right foods for preparing both comforting menus to enjoy with my loved ones, as well as quick, tasty treats for guests.

I like to concentrate on real, simple, fresh ingredients that can fit into a well-balanced lifestyle. Ingredients that are not only nutritious but taste delicious and leave everyone feeling satisfied.

Foods just like the wholesome ingredients in these Pumpkin Cornbread Muffins, made with farm-grown cornmeal and pumpkin along with classic farm to table stars from the dairy aisle like milk, eggs and cheese.
