    Shane, you are so very generous to share your recipes. I have made many and there’s not a dud among ’em! My favorites….so far….are the cornbread & stuffing recipe. I stuffed some smallish pumpkins I grew this year. I also love the chickpea loaf and the pumpkin bread recipe. I have made that several times already to share with everyone at church. Thank you so very much! I appreciate all you do and your creative and beautiful Tasty recipes!
