What’s a cold winter night without cornbread?

My point exactly. You’ll probably need this tonight.

Seriously.

This cornbread is quite delicious and what makes it extra special is the dash of cinnamon and fresh basil; they add a perfectly sweet touch to each bite. My favorite way to serve this recipe is toasted with a drizzle of honey on top. Or if you’re feeling extra special, you can top it with a scoop of almond milk ice cream.

How’s that for a winter dessert?

Mmmmm.

As I focus on my self love that I’ve been referring to the last few weeks, I wanted to leave you with a few thoughts to ponder and think about. We all deserve self love and it’s amazing how good it feels to treat your body like you would a little baby- because we give babies so much love, why not give ourselves that same kind of love?

No amount of self improvement can make up for any lack of self acceptance.

The more loving I become, the more significant I will be.
