Cornbread has always been a favorite of mine, and I missed it after going grain-free until I discovered a new way to make it. So, I adapted a tried-and-true stuffing recipe to give you a grain-free, paleo version of the old classic. The jalapeños add a tangy touch of heat, but are completely optional. I usually make half with jalapeños and half without to suit everyone’s taste. It also makes a great complement to soups and salads.
