Exciting Things Ahead + {Chickpea Cornbread}

There are potentially some really exciting things on the horizon for me and my little blog in the near future (including THIS!!)...so please send some of your positive thoughts, prayers, and vibes this way!!   I am bursting with anticipation, excitement, fear, and hope. And when (if) any of them turn into reality, I will share the heck out of them with YOU. Did you know that YOU are the primary reason I love doing this so much? I love interacting with you, equipping you, and motivating you to be your best self. Speaking of that, there are now over 180 of you joining me on the October 14th Reboot! #booyah  We are going to rock it - together!

Introducing Chickpea Cornbread:

Fall is in full swing here in Colorado, and we're actually supposed to get our first snow on Friday.  While I'm not fully ready for the white stuff, I am loving the cooler weather. It totally makes me want to eat a yummy chili or soup with cornbread. So that's exactly what I did. :)

I am in love with chickpeas lately, if you didn't notice. I put them in popsicles, pancakes, and even brownies. #iamobsessed

This cornbread is gluten-free and vegan, that is...until you drizzle honey all over the top :)
