This past weekend I was challenged to make an easy to eat appetizer with some fall flare. I immediately thought about my sweet potato cornbread. Friends, family and clients always love the sweet, dense flavor of this recipe and for an added benefit it is gluten free. The next question to answer was what to serve it with.
